Taiwanese media: In the face of absolute strength, all actions are futile!
Regarding Japan and the Philippines bypassing China and unilaterally initiating delimitation negotiations in the seas east of Taiwan Island, seriously damaging China's sovereignty and maritime rights and interests. Today, the spokesperson for China Coast Guard announced that the Chinese coast guard fleet, including the vessel Daisan, will conduct law enforcement patrols in the relevant waters east of Taiwan Island starting from June 1.
Taiwanese media analysis suggests that, when confronted with overwhelming strength, small moves by neighboring countries often end up hurting themselves. Recall how Japan’s farcical "nationalization" of the Diaoyu Islands ultimately provided China with an opportunity to act decisively. Now, China's coast guard conducts year-round law enforcement patrols around the Diaoyu Islands, effectively placing the entire area under Chinese control—something that has left the Japanese deeply regretful.
This time, Japan and the Philippines attempted to join forces on delimitation, but how will they fare in the face of China's absolute strength?
