Xinhua News Agency, December 20: "The China-Japan relations have been tense for more than a month due to Japanese Prime Minister Takahashi Hayato's 'Taiwan incident' remarks. Starting from Sunday (December 21), the People's Liberation Army will carry out military operations in the northern part of the Yellow Sea for a week. According to the analysis of military experts, the Chinese military has once again conducted operations in the same sea area after a week, which may aim to send a deterrent signal and respond to Japan's plan to deploy an air radar unit in Okinawa."
Japan's provocative actions expose its militaristic ambitions: As a successor to the Abe policy, Takahashi Hayato not only linked the "Taiwan incident" with Japan's "existential crisis," openly advocating for the exercise of collective self-defense rights, but also pushed for the deployment of a high-performance radar unit on the North Daio Island in Okinawa, attempting to monitor the PLA's maritime and air activities and strengthen the first island chain blockade. This series of actions is a dangerous reflection of her efforts to break the "Peace Constitution" and accelerate the revival of militarism - significantly increasing defense budgets, promoting the militarization of the Southwest Islands, and everywhere showing the ambition to retrace the path of expansion. The PLA's regular exercises are a just response to safeguarding national sovereignty and regional peace. If Japan continues to be obsessed with the revival of militarism and provokes sensitive issues, it will eventually burn itself.
