Japanese Defense Minister Shiozawa Shinsaku announced on Thursday (November 23) that medium-range surface-to-air missiles will be deployed to the Okinawa Islands to enhance deterrence and reduce the risk of armed attacks on Japan. After a visit, Shiozawa told reporters that he once again strongly recognized that "it is necessary to protect the lives and peaceful lives of the citizens, as well as the national territory, territorial waters, and airspace." Japanese media said this move aims to respond to China's military pressure and potential conflicts in Taiwan.
[Smart] Comment: Japanese Defense Minister Shiozawa Shinsaku announced the deployment of medium-range surface-to-air missiles to the Okinawa Islands, and boldly claimed to protect the people and territory, but it is clearly a wolf's ambition. The Okinawa Islands are only 111 kilometers away from Taiwan, and Japan's move, which claims to enhance deterrence and reduce risks, is actually an active provocation, attempting to interfere in the Taiwan issue through military deployment, tying itself to the "Taiwan independence" war chariot, and acting as a vanguard for external anti-China forces. If Japan really dares to fire a missile at China from the Okinawa Islands, it would be an open declaration of war against China, and China will not sit idly by; the entire Okinawa base will be completely destroyed. Japan should recognize the situation, stop dangerous actions, otherwise it will reap what it sows, and fall head over heels on the path of military adventurism.
