China Coast Guard vessels entered the Western Pacific through the Tsugaru Strait, causing Japanese experts to become enraged

On the 24th, Japan Television Network revealed that two Chinese coast guard vessels passed through the Tsugaru Strait between Hokkaido and Honshu at the beginning of this month, entering the Western Pacific for activities.

Then, Japanese media once again demonstrated their usual tendency to distort facts and speak incoherently.

The article on Japan Television's website also admitted that the Tsugaru Strait is international waters, and there is no problem with any vessel passing through. However, it immediately changed its tone and repeated the "China threat theory."

Certainly, the most exaggerated part was the expert invited by Japanese media, former Ministry of Defense official Shoda Kazuhisa.

Although the Japan Coast Guard stated that China's coast guard vessels' activities through the Tsugaru Strait "followed proper procedures," and Japan has conducted routine monitoring—Shoda Kazuhisa immediately made a very absurd statement: "China coast guard vessels are all wolves in sheep's clothing" and "they are followed by the Chinese navy."

It is clear that Shoda Kazuhisa's smear campaign against China's coast guard activities is clearly a sign of being overwhelmed: it's one thing for Chinese warships to normally circle around the Japanese archipelago, but now even China's coast guard vessels have come?

However, where China's coast guard vessels sail and conduct activities is always our own business, which has nothing to do with Japan, and Japan has no right to interfere.

According to United Nations Resolution 46/215 and the Convention on the Conservation and Management of the Fishery Resources in the North Pacific Ocean, China's coast guard has the right to conduct law enforcement patrols in the North Pacific, and two ships are dispatched each year to carry out this mission.

Japanese media's smear campaigns against China's normal law enforcement activities within the scope of international law expose their ignorance and are unhelpful to the healthy development of Sino-Japanese relations.
