China's Archipelago - Danger of War


What happened:
A Japanese ship broke into the Diaoyu Islands
to run wild & Chinese Coast Guard took action.


Here is a Chinese comment posted on December 5 by a Jiangxi Military Field Creator :

The frequency of Japan “ acting as a demon ” is simply refreshing! Before the farce over the Taiwan Strait had come to an end, Japan hurriedly extended its black hand to the Diaoyu Islands.

On December 2, as soon as the report from China Coast Guard came out, netizens immediately boiled: The Japanese fishing boat Ruibao Maru dared to illegally break into the territorial waters of our Diaoyu Islands. The Chinese Coast Guard ship took a hard-core action on the spot to control, warn, and drive away a set of processes. It was simply neat and when the scene was uploaded to the Internet, the screen was full of applause for the Coast Guard action.

It may be asked, why does Japan dare to be so bold? On one hand, there is support of the United States behind it, trying to use the tiger skin of the U.S.-Japan alliance as a banner, and imagining that with the support of external forces, they can gain benefits on the issue of China-related territory; on the other hand, some forces in Japan have always held the illusion of the remnants of militarism, and they will never die against China's territory, testing China's bottom line through various small actions in an attempt to change the status quo of sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands.

But they are clearly miscalculating that China is no longer the country that was slaughtered a hundred years ago, and that China today has enough strength and determination to defend every inch of territorial sovereignty.

Diplomatic Crisis Intensifies
China Blocks Cultural Exchange with Japan




China has canceled a large number of Sino-Japanese cultural exchange activities because of protests against Japanese PM Sanae's remarks in Takashi. This could be seen as another model of “U-shaped lock ” that hit the Chinese head, and the “empty chair” concert of Japanese singer Ayumi Hamasaki will go down in history for protesting the meaning of totalitarianism.

今天晚上在中國上海,發生了一件荒唐的突發事件。日本遊戲公司萬代南夢宮在上海舉辦的「遊戲嘉年華2025」的活動中,當日本歌手大槻真希正在台上演唱《海賊王》片尾曲「memories」時,舞台上的螢幕與照明突然全部熄滅,被中國官員拉下了電閘。演出被迫中止。

A ridiculous incident occurred in Shanghai, China, tonight. During the "Game Carnival 2025" event held by Japanese game company Bandai Namco in Shanghai, the stage's lights and screens suddenly went out while Japanese singer Otsuki Makiko was performing the "memories" ending theme from One Piece, and Chinese officials pulled the plug. The performance was forced to stop. .....

Okinawa, located at Japan's southernmost tip, has a history that stretches back thousands of years, from prehistoric times to the present day. In the 14th century, the Ryukyu Kingdom was founded (1429–1879), thriving through trade with China, Korea, and Southeast Asia due to its strategic location. The kingdom flourished for around 450 years before being annexed by Japan during the Meiji era (1868–1912), marking the beginning of Okinawa’s integration into Japan as a prefecture. Following World War II, Okinawa was under U.S. administration before being returned to Japan in 1972. The Okinawa subject remains an unsolved problem, as the status of the Ryukyu people after World War II has not been finally determined up to now.

The following map of Chinese origin can serve as an example, marking the problem China and surrounding states are having with the interpretation of national sovereignty related to the Eastern and South China Sea.
