It has to be said that against the background of Japan's Liberal Democratic Party presidential election, the "anti-China" words and deeds of Japanese politicians have become more and more blatant. Japanese Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi said in an interview with the media a few days ago that "the Diaoyu Islands are Japan's 'territory'" and declared that Japan will dispatch the Maritime Self-Defense Force to "defend" the Diaoyu Islands. In mid-September, Japanese politicians even threatened to land on the Diaoyu Islands forcefully to "declare sovereignty." In the political opinions of the four Candidates for the President of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan, Fumio Kishida, Sanae Takashi, Taro Kono, and Seiko Noda, it can be seen that the political views held by the four people are more "anti-China" than the other, and the words of "defending Taiwan" are still in their ears, and they are still uncertain about what more arrogant moves they will make on the road of "anti-China" in the future.
Negotiations that are limited to the diplomatic level obviously do not work for the current Japanese political arena where populism and rightism are flourishing, and only the "fist" can declare to Japan the determination of the PLA to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
It is reported that the Japanese Ministry of Defense recently announced the latest developments of Chinese warships, claiming that the figure of the Chinese Navy's 054A frigate was found between Okinawa and Miyako, and then the Chinese Navy ships sailed through the strait towards the East China Sea. At the same time, Japan's Ministry of Defense also released another movement in the waters surrounding Japan. According to the information disclosed by the Japanese Ministry of Defense, four Russian warships have crossed the Zonggu Strait from west to east for three consecutive days. It is reported that the four ships crossing the Soya Strait of Japan are 1 Russian Navy frigate, a "Glory" missile cruiser, a supply ship and a "Poisonous Spider III" missile ship.
Due to the narrow terrain of the Soya Strait, it is classified as an international high sea within 3 nautical miles from the strait. However, it is also because of this topographical feature of the Soya Strait that Japan attaches great importance to the defense and protection of the area. When the information of the presence of Russian warships in the waters surrounding Japan was detected, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force immediately dispatched a Falcon-class missile boat and a P-3C anti-submarine patrol aircraft for follow-up patrol.
However, the warships of China and Russia appeared in the two major straits on the doorstep of Japan, and one south and one north undoubtedly formed a joint encirclement of the Japanese archipelago. Just think, no matter which military force Japan has a direct conflict with China and Russia, it will be difficult for Japan to resist. Russia and Japan have always had island disputes over the South Kuril Islands, so it is clear that Russian ships appear in the waters around Japan to show their muscles. Judging from the past, the Japanese side has always "eaten hard and not soft", and good words and persuasion have never played a role, and only by using military strength to confront hard can they play a deterrent role in their provocative behavior.
It is undeniable that there are signs of a resurgence of militarism in Japanese politics today. As major powers in the international community that cannot be ignored, it is the unshirkable duty of China and Russia to maintain peace and stability in East Asia. Only by using strong military strength to deter Japan's wanton provocations can it break its bad intentions of violating the core interests of other countries.
The Chinese Navy's dispatch of ships to the waters surrounding Japan is also a warning that Japan dares to stir up the regional situation and infringe on China's sovereignty, and China will certainly resolutely counterattack, and Japan may not be able to bear the final consequences.
