introduction
On the afternoon of 25 April, the mainland's Ministry of National Defense held a news conference, at which the mainland's spokesman answered a reporter's question about Japan with reasonable grounds.
Before the Ministry of National Defense could say anything, five high-ranking Japanese officials took advantage of the darkness of night to forcibly land on China's Diaoyu Islands in the early hours of the morning under the cover of more than 10 patrol boats and first declare their so-called "sovereignty." What exactly does Japan want to do in this move? And how will China respond?
Senior Japanese officials want to forcibly land on the Diaoyu Islands
As soon as senior US official Antony Blinken left China from his visit to China, five senior Japanese officials planned to take the opportunity to land on China's Diaoyu Islands.
According to relevant reports, at around 5 a.m. on April 27, five members of the Japanese Diet formed an investigation team under the pretext of "environmental investigation" and set off from a port in Okinawa, Japan, on a Japanese research ship, with the destination directly pointing to the Diaoyu Islands.
In the early morning of the 27th, before dawn, the five Japanese parliamentarians were only a few kilometers away from fishing, and there were more than 10 patrol boats traveling with the research ship this time.
These patrol vessels stood between the Chinese Coast Guard and the Japanese research vessels, trying to cover the landing of the research vessels on the Diaoyu Islands, but how could the Chinese Coast Guard give them a chance, and seeing that the Chinese Coast Guard was close at hand, the Japanese research vessels had to abandon the landing plan.
According to relevant media, the five members of the Japanese Diet who took a scientific research ship to the Diaoyu Islands were planned, not only to collect biological samples from the nearby waters, but also to send drones to take photos, and also to take the opportunity to land on the Diaoyu Islands to swear their ridiculous "sovereignty".
However, in the face of the Chinese coast guard's refusal to give an inch, Japan had no choice but to give up, after all, the actions of the Chinese armed police were reasonable and legal, and the mainland also responded accordingly to Japan's attempt to forcibly land on the Diaoyu Islands.
A mainland spokesman said that Diaoyu Dao and its affiliated islands are the inherent territory of the mainland, and that China is unswerving in its determination and will to safeguard its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, and that it will also lodge solemn representations with Japan on this matter.
At the same time, China strongly urges Japan to downplay the spirit of the China-Japan four-point principled consensus, stop all political provocations, on-the-spot disturbances and public opinion hype, and return to the right track of properly managing contradictions and differences through dialogue and consultation, so as to avoid further escalation of the situation.
The Diaoyu Islands do not give up an inch of land
Diaoyu Dao has been an inalienable part of China since ancient times and is China's inherent territory, but Japan has always repeatedly carried out provocations in the waters near Diaoyu Dao, and has also rampantly believed that Diaoyu Dao is Japan's territory, and has been arrogant.
However, the reason why Japan wants to compete for the Diaoyu Islands is also because of the geographical location of the Diaoyu Islands and the abundance of natural products.
When it comes to Diaoyu Dao, people who are not particularly familiar with it will always think that it is a lonely island, but in fact it is not, Diaoyu Dao is actually a collective name for an island, which contains a sea area of up to 174,000 square kilometers.
In addition, the geographical location of the Diaoyu Islands is superior, relatively close to the mainland of the mainland, and the uninhabited environment here is superior, there are countless birds and fish, in addition to the rich animal and plant resources, there are also rich oil resources in the vicinity of the Diaoyu Islands.
In the face of such a piece of "fat meat", how can Japan not be moved?
Since 2012, Japan has been constantly provoking China on the issue of Diaoyu Dao, and even claiming that Diaoyu Dao belongs to Japan, but we all know that Diaoyu Dao has been Chinese since ancient times and is an inseparable part of China.
The mainland began to carry out non-stop patrols near the Diaoyu Islands to ensure that the security and sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands would not be violated.
However, Japan has not given up, and is still constantly seeking opportunities to land on the Diaoyu Islands, and will even confront our military patrol boats in the waters near the Diaoyu Islands.
And this time Japan once again wants to quietly land on the Diaoyu Islands, and I have to say that Japan is really wishful thinking, and China is no longer the China that was bullied by others in the 19th century, and now China is defending China's territorial sovereignty and not giving up an inch of land.
The fact that Diaoyu Dao is a part of China cannot be changed no matter what Japan does, and it is even more wishful thinking that China will definitely protect the territorial integrity of Diaoyu Dao and will not give up an inch of land and sea.
In fact, there are deeper reasons behind Japan's provocation in the Diaoyu Islands.
Behind the Japanese provocation
Japan has relied on the United States for development for many years, and the United States regards China as an imaginary enemy, and in order to prove its value to the United States and surrender to the United States, Japan has begun to provoke China and pick quarrels and provoke trouble near Chinese territory.
And the time of Japan's troubles in the Diaoyu Islands this time is close to the time of Blinken's visit to China and his departure, which has to make people think about whether Japan's actions and the United States will still be inseparable.
Of course, in addition to this, it is very likely that Japan wants to use this incident to make a sense of existence and leave some impressions in the hearts of the Japanese people that the Japanese government has a tough attitude, so that the government can establish an image.
However, this is also the Japanese government's self-righteousness, and it is really ridiculous to establish its own prestige by encroaching on the territory of other countries.
At the same time, the Japanese government also wants to transfer the recent contradictions in Japan, the recent decline in the yen exchange rate, the depreciation of the currency, Japan's economy has received a huge impact, the Japanese people are in dire straits, a large number of foreigners poured into Japan, began to rush Japanese goods, no matter when the price of gold luxury goods plunged, so it attracted everyone's crazy robbery.
Japan was almost sold out, and the Japanese government continued to do nothing after the currency devaluation, and advocated easing policy rather than intervention, so the government's credibility declined, causing dissatisfaction among residents.
Therefore, the Japanese government also wants to divert the attention of the Japanese people through this means.
epilogue
Five high-ranking Japanese officials attempted to forcibly land on the Diaoyu Islands under the cover of 10 patrol boats, and such an act was completely illegal infringement of the mainland's territorial sovereignty, and the mainland's coast guard's on-the-spot law enforcement was a legitimate defense to safeguard sovereignty and was completely correct.
