Japan's Kyodo News reported today (December 19): "Japanese and New Zealand defense ministers cooperate against China, sign ACSA and information security agreement. On the 19th, Defense Minister Koizumi met with New Zealand Defense Minister Collins. In response to China's growing maritime expansion, the two countries agreed to strengthen cooperation in the security field."
Figure 2 is a tweet from the New Zealand Defense Minister, which mentions nothing about China.
[Witty] Comment a few words: Japan's performance of forming alliances is really clumsy and ridiculous. It has joined New Zealand to sign what's called the ACSA and information security agreement, and calls it "cooperating against China", but it's just trying to boost its own confidence and cover up its inner weakness and fear of China. The New Zealand Defense Minister Collins did not mention China in his tweet, which probably shows that he also knows how absurd this Japanese farce is. China's maritime development is based on its own reasonable needs and peaceful concepts, but Japan has maliciously stirred up the idea of "expansion" without reason and provoked intentionally. If Japan continues to be stubborn and runs blindly down the wrong path, it will eventually reap what it sows.
