Yesterday, the head of Japan's Coast Guard, Sakamoto Seiji, told the media: "China's coast guard vessels have been patrolling the surrounding waters of the Senkaku Islands, which are subject to territorial disputes, on a regular basis, leading to an extremely severe situation. The militarization and strong response of Japan's coast guard patrol ships will give China an opportunity to escalate its actions, which is not conducive to maintaining stability in the Senkaku Islands. In the past year, Chinese coast guard vessels had been patrolling the surrounding waters of the Senkaku Islands for 357 days, setting a new record. Japanese patrol ships confront Chinese vessels every day. Under the current framework, the Japan Coast Guard can only do so much!"

[Clever] Japan's lament is too funny. The Diaoyu Islands belong to China, where is the territorial dispute? The whining of the coast guard chief is the funniest joke of the year. He opens his mouth and calls the Diaoyu Islands the Senkaku Islands, and talks about territorial disputes. It's really forgetting the old history and pretending to be ignorant. The Diaoyu Islands have been China's inherent territory since ancient times. They were stolen by Japan during the Sino-Japanese War, and after World War II, they were returned to China according to international law. The so-called jurisdiction was illegally occupied. China's coast guard's 357-day patrols are guarding the country's territorial sovereignty, which is natural and routine. Japan, on the other hand, is trying to shift the blame and claims the situation is severe. On one hand, it fears that a strong response will give China an opportunity to escalate, and on the other hand, it is constantly confronting. Its lack of confidence and unwillingness are clearly shown in a pitiful manner!

In short, Japan is driven by hegemonic interests, wanting to occupy China's territory but fearing China's countermeasures. It can only complain with words. Face reality, the sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands is not something Japan can comment on. China's determination to protect its territory is unwavering, and Japan's further efforts are all in vain!
