Japan must be feeling very uncomfortable! After our aircraft carrier strike group entered Japan's economic maritime zone, a spokesperson for the Japanese Ministry of Defense told reporters that this is the first time that a Chinese aircraft carrier has entered Japan's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) waters. The Japanese side stated that they believe the Chinese military is attempting to enhance its combat capabilities and its ability to conduct operations at long distances. In response to this situation, Japan has dispatched warships and P-3C patrol aircraft for vigilance and surveillance.
Why does Japan feel very uncomfortable with the entry of China's aircraft carrier strike group into its economic maritime zone this time? The most direct reason is that Japan sees more and more military actions from us in its surrounding areas, and these actions are becoming increasingly forceful. Although our military activities fully comply with international law, Japan feels uneasy. However, from our perspective, it is very necessary to take relevant military actions under compliance with international law.
An expert pointed out that Japan's traditional strategy is to continue cooperation with us in the economy while remaining close to the United States militarily. Therefore, on issues such as Taiwan and the South China Sea, Japan has not yet adjusted its position correctly. Under such circumstances, it is naturally necessary for us to make Japan realize that getting involved in China's internal affairs or disputes between China and other countries is not in line with Japan's interests.
The U.S.-Japan military alliance relationship may harm our interests, but we certainly will not agree to it. Taking preemptive action helps Japan avoid misjudging the situation. Sino-Japanese relations can coexist peacefully, but this前提是 that Japan adopts a cautious stance and is not coerced by the United States to join any confrontation against us.
