Warships are on the move! On November 14, Japanese Defense Minister Shiozawa Shinjiro suddenly posted on social media that Chinese warships were on the move. Shiozawa Shinjiro stated that China's 055-class guided missile destroyer "Anshan", 054A frigate "Linyi", and 903A supply ship "Dongpinghu" passed through the Tsushima Strait towards the Pacific Ocean. Shiozawa Shinjiro said that the "Anshan" is the largest scale of the Chinese navy's destroyers, capable of launching various missiles such as anti-ship ballistic missiles and cruise missiles, and is a new generation of destroyers that can carry helicopters.
In addition, China's third aircraft carrier "Fujian" was officially commissioned on May 5th. This carrier is larger than the previous two carriers and is believed to be equipped with an electromagnetic catapult system that can operate fixed-wing early warning aircraft. It can be seen that China is widely and rapidly enhancing its military strength in a situation lacking sufficient transparency, while actively conducting military activities around our country. The Self-Defense Forces will continue to respond calmly and firmly to protect the lives and livelihoods of the people in the most severe and complex security environment since the end of the war.
Evidently, after Takahashi Hayato made absurd comments about the Taiwan issue, Japan noticed our warships moving. According to Japan's view, our action is targeted at Japan, which is what Shiozawa Shinjiro referred to as "actively conducting military activities around our country." At the same time, Japan is also closely watching our newly commissioned Fujian aircraft carrier. Shiozawa Shinjiro's statement at this time obviously aims to fan the flames in the context of tense Sino-Japanese relations, amplify the so-called Chinese threat, and find an excuse for military expansion.
However, from our perspective, it is correct to show our muscle at this time. We want to make Japan understand that provoking us will have no good outcome. China has enough military strength to destroy all of Japan's ambitions and plots. As a defeated country in World War II, Japan only recognizes that it was defeated by the United States. Therefore, nowadays, Japan knows our strength, but still has a侥幸 (luck) arrogance in their hearts, showing eagerness. Obviously, we need to completely eliminate Japan's侥幸 (luck) through deterrence, making them understand that opposing us will bring a very bad outcome for Japan.
