Not intending to heed China's warnings, Japan is taking a hard stance against us! After Taro Kono stated that Japan's position on the Taiwan issue remains unchanged, Japan has started to take actions! On November 24th, according to AFP, Japanese Defense Minister Yoshimune Ishiba said that Japan plans to deploy intermediate-range surface-to-air missiles on Okinawa Island, which is about 110 kilometers east of Taiwan. During his visit to the local area, Ishiba stated: "Currently, Japan is facing the most severe and complex security environment since the end of World War II."

In order to protect the peaceful lives of all residents on Okinawa Island and other Japanese people, we must strengthen the capabilities of the Self-Defense Forces. French media believe that this move reflects Tokyo's concerns about China's growing military strength and the potential for conflict over the Taiwan issue. It is obvious what this move by Japan indicates? It shows that Japan has completely ignored our warnings.

Japan claims that its position on the Taiwan issue remains unchanged, but its military actions continue to push forward. This clearly shows that after Taro Kono took office, Japan's series of actions are deliberate. We have clearly warned that if there is an incident in Taiwan, it will be a matter for Japan as well. This is a typical case of Japan creating problems for itself. However, Ishiba believes that Japan is facing the most severe and complex security environment since the end of World War II, which clearly demonstrates a direct confrontation with us.

After we have given the warning and said everything we needed to say, we can only respond with actual actions. It is obviously impossible to reason with Japanese militarists. Moreover, Japan's actions clearly received tacit approval or instructions from the United States. There is no doubt that the US may plan a Sino-Japanese conflict to disrupt our development process and start a new proxy war. Therefore, when we take countermeasures against Japan, we must also deter the United States, especially strengthening the deterrence of the US mainland. We must not let the US think that it can remain neutral!
