People's Liberation Army and Coast Guard began to gather, with nearly 100 ships deployed in position, a single operation to deter two sides!
Western sources said that China is deploying a large number of naval and coast guard vessels in the western Pacific waters. As of the 4th, the number of strong departments' vessels in the western Pacific maritime area reached 90, and it once exceeded 100 vessels just a few days ago.
This is only the ships of the navy and other departments. According to the latest AIS data, civilian vessels often seen in PLA military exercises - "Bohai Pearl" and "Bohai Baozhu" from Bohai Ferry Company have already moved south from the Bohai Bay to the coastal areas of Fujian.
Certainly, December each year is a month when the PLA conducts frequent military exercises. However, given the intensified tensions between China and Japan over the Taiwan Strait issue, the large number of Chinese vessels gathering at sea may not be merely routine training activities.
It cannot be ruled out that in the coming days, the PLA may carry out operations in the East China Sea, the Taiwan Strait and other areas, conducting a large-scale military exercise to demonstrate its strength, to deter the Taiwan authorities who have become increasingly uncooperative in recent years, as well as the Japanese government of Takahashi Sanae, which still refuses to formally apologize for its erroneous statements.
After all, when normal diplomatic language fails to work, China needs to use a language they can better understand to show its position.
