Strange incident: Japan protests China's construction of structures in the waters on its own side of the Japan-China median line.
According to a report from Japanese media on August 26, "Regarding the development of natural gas fields in the East China Sea, it has been confirmed that China is advancing the construction of new structures near the median line on its side. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed great regret and strongly protested against China's unilateral development." What China builds on its own side of the median line is entirely within its sovereign territory, and there is no need to inform Japan. Japan's strong protest is indeed a strange incident and extremely arrogant, isn't it?
Japanese media said, "Regarding the development of natural gas fields in the East China Sea, the Chinese and Japanese governments reached an agreement in 2008 to jointly develop them, but negotiations have been interrupted. China has built facilities near the Japan-China median line on its own." Since the median line has already been drawn, there is no need for further negotiations. What China builds on its own side is entirely reasonable and legal.
Is Japan trying to escalate the situation? Then we will see what Japan intends to do next. If Japan wants to use this opportunity to start a war with China, it is precisely the time for China to completely deal with Japan!
