Japan Establishes China And North Korea As Adversaries To Justify Militarization

Click to see full-size image

On July 14th, Japan said that it was closely monitoring attempts by China to boost its global influence and was “relentlessly” attempting to undermine Tokyo’s administration of the Senkaku islands.

This outlined in a defense white paper by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s government which criticized Beijing for “relentlessly” attempting to undermine Tokyo’s administration of the Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea.

This was further made worse by the supposed fact that it was taking place when COVID-19 response needed to be internationally coordinated.

With the international community grappling with the pandemic, a further spread of the virus “may expose and intensify strategic competition among countries intending to create international and regional orders more preferable to themselves and to expand their influence,” the white paper said.

But, at the same time, the aid that China was providing to countries all around was also an attempt to further its influence.

So it wasn’t doing enough to counter the virus internationally, but anything it did to counter was only to further its influence, in an apparent Catch-22 scenario.

According to the White Paper, China has been “taking advantage” of its virus-related assistance to other nations in an attempt to advance its political and economic interests, and that Beijing has been engaging in propaganda work such as “spreading disinformation” amid social unrest and confusion sparked by the pandemic.

“Despite protests by our country, Chinese official ships repeatedly intruded into our territorial waters around the Senkaku Islands,” the paper said, according to Kyodo News Agency.

The white paper also referred to China’s unilateral creation of two administrative districts in the South China Sea, in which Beijing has overlapping claims with Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam and Taiwan.

Together with militarization of outposts in disputed areas of the strategic waterway, China uses such nonmilitary means to force shifts in the regional status quo, drawing the ire of other claimants, especially as countries are focusing on steps to respond to the pandemic, according to the paper.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian criticized the report, telling reporters in Beijing the government had lodged a complaint with Tokyo.

“Japan’s defense white paper is full of biases and false information,” Zhao said, according to Reuters. “It is trying to do all it can to hype up the so-called China threat.”

And this paper comes just one day after US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo stated the official US position of rejecting any maritime claims by China in the South China Sea.

In this year’s white paper, China is given as the justification for Japan’s increasing militarization, while in last year’s one it was North Korea.

“For more than a year, North Korea has carried out a series of tests in which it fires short-range ballistic missiles into the Sea of Japan. The weapons aren’t considered dangerous in the way longer-range weapons are, and they have been theorized to be tests for a new type of rocket artillery,” said the 2019 white paper.

But it is also very apparent that North Korea really has no interest in striking, or invading Japan, and the only potential target for any sort of aggression are the increasing number of US military facilities that are being established in Japan, in addition to South Korea.

This, however, is a result of Japan’s own internal and international policy, and not a result of North Korea’s intentional antagonism of it, since there doesn’t appear to be any.

At the same time, the contradicting accusations towards China also provide a somewhat clear example of an attempt to build up an enemy from the ground, similarly to what the US has done for a while with countries throughout the world and, mostly, Russia.

Zionism = EVIL

Let’s keep things FACTUAL, the Nips have been occupied and regularly raped since 1945 when the Americunt cowards twice nuked their civilian filed cities. The Japs can’t even refuse to be raped, let alone kiss Americunt warmongers arse.

I have heard all kinds of hasbara lies, but seen the failed Zionist entity myself, despite billions in our aid there is official 30% poverty now, more perhaps. Have a nice day trolls.

China is a superpower, India is superpoor.

hey porki…need some burnol? chinkis will do d same organ harvesting business with ur liver and kidneys just like dey r doing to the uighurs

Sorry, don’t give a flip about Uighur or South Asians. Indians sell their kids organs to old Jews and westerners.

Saubhik Ghosh, frnd of israel

porki..pay ur debts…its now standing at $112 billion….and considering ur paltry reserves lying in ur piggy bank…its only $10 billion…. indian reserves stand at $513 billiojn and economy at $3.2 trillion go get a life

guest

That is rubbish, both India and Pakistan are backward underdeveloped failed states. China only helps Pakistan to keep India off balance. China is looking west to Iran, Turkey, Italy and Greece for its One Belt, both India and Pakistan miss out. It is a shame as China-India trade would be good for Asian development. You sound like an angry child, be rational and mature.

No north korea has far too many subs to call it a day,besides asswipe no Australian Commonweakth government with 38% economic/strategic partnership with prc would sacrife it just for a few soros/pro lgbtq mkame feminist mindset in any boys body (period) Get off the cia/nazi meth boy!Simply just aint worth the bother,try the gaybar there!

JIMI JAMES

Rocket man may nuke Isarel anytime any day and no usa nor other ever defeated north korea, Besides South korea have just sissys on crack,tcertainly no allie of the japs either,unless paid?

Saubhik Ghosh, frnd of israel

usa-japan-india-australia….the quad is fantastic… Taiwan, phillipines , south korea and vietnam are further juicy additions with d bulk of Nato navy coming in IOR against China……Russia will only give material support to China….Russia and Usa always fought side by side in both d world war…dey hav always come together against expansionist forces

guest

Where did Russia fight alongside US in WW1? Indian history books are probably published in Bollywood. Russia entered into World War I on July 28, 1914, when the Austro-Hungarian Empire declared war on Russia’s ally Serbia.

Saubhik Ghosh, frnd of israel

technically dey fought against common enemies not necessarily shoulder to shoulder

guest

Not really, Russia performed poorly and the dejected Russian troops turned into revolutionaries and Bolsheviks. who the US and UK tried to defeat by supporting White Russian counter-revolutionaries.

Saubhik Ghosh, frnd of israel

dat happened in 1918….d civil war….still despite trust deficit dey fought against hitler in WW 2…..and b4 1917 as well…though again not shoulder to shoulder… dis time also China claims russiahn city of vladivostok…..and if china comes in d arms market…dey will eat away d russian arms market share only…russian dependence on china is financial dependence

guest

China and Russia are too integrated to have a conflict. China is a industrial giant and has made rapid upgrades to the Russian weapons they bought. That is what the US would like to see, but unlikely to happen. The world has changed.

Saubhik Ghosh, frnd of israel

no..chinkis didnt upgraded them but brought out cheap copies reverse engineering them…and yeah i know…Russians and chinese will never go to war…but will provide material support to both India and china…China is yet poor in terms of jet engine technology…plus china is not the member of MTCR…so china cannot get deir hands onto critical imported missile tech over 300km…like deir s400 is having 250km missile but india will get d 380km missile as well….so us sanctions will cripple the chinki regime and russia will happily see d destruction of a powerful china with its communist regime threatning russsia in d long run

guest

Post in a grown up manner and no-name calling. The Chinese are an old superior culture and very hard working and wise people. India has no history, but continued occupation and invasions by all and sundry. No one takes India seriously, that is why it never achieved a seat at the UNSC despite 1.3 billion poor people.

Chinese only bring diseases into this world, in addition to fake products they steal from other countries.

Isn’t that in Pakistan. Hinduism originated from Persian Zoroastrianism. No that it matters.

Saubhik Ghosh, frnd of israel

pakistan was hindu area..it got converted into islam due to 1000 years of invasion…otherwise the culture of both d countries is same including language except religion

Saubhik Ghosh, frnd of israel

wow…i am not even able to laugh on ur make believe historical knowledge…wherefrom hinduism developed from Zoroastrianism?….

Saubhik Ghosh, frnd of israel

bcos China vetoes our membership…all other countries support us

It is more than it. India is considered underdeveloped and too poor. China’s progress has been earth shaking. India could have potential if it addressed corruption, caste system and obsession with China and Pakistan.

Saubhik Ghosh, frnd of israel

india is a nation of 1.3 billion…if it was so underdeveloped then it would have disintegrated…but no its still rising every day and getting better

guest

Don’t believe so, I have been to India and China both and so should you, if you get a chance to travel after this Covid era, if ever. India is still very backward and can not manufacture basic consumer electronics even. This virus has hurt India very bad. Anyway, you guys can keep trolling, as I have work to do.

China is the only superpower left standing. China’s rise will continue unabated.

Jim Bim

Japan is under US military command, they do whatever the US tells them to do. For Japan to label China and North Korea as adversaries is laughable, it was Japan who invaded China and North Korea, committed genocide, barbaric acts and rape on a massive scale, captured 100 of K of women and forced them to be sex slaves for Japanese soldiers. Alone in Nanjing/China, Japan murdered 300-400.000 civilians. Japan stole hundreds of tons of gold from China. No war reparations, no accountability, no official apology.

guest

Japan committed horrendous war crimes against China, the Chinese are nice people who have not punished Japan. The US has occupied Japan since 1945 and Japan is not in a position to make independent decisions. Neither can South Korea, Australia or India, they all have US bases.

Jim Bim

Agree!!

Zionism = EVIL

Rape of Nanjing was one of the worst war crimes and in the same perverted league as Zionist cowardly cunts crimes in Gaza, Palestine or Lebanon.

ΠΑΡΜΕΝΙΩΝ

the Japanese committed the worst crimes inside Unit 731.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_731

JIMI JAMES

Australia has also the chinese base in the nt,99yr leased + 38% economic trades,you think by now it more than justifys usas pittance 5% of todays,truth is money talks todays!

johnny rotten

The Japanese suffer from the Oedipus complex against China, and they will never be able to get rid of it until they stop being the slaves of the Zionist bankers who govern the west, they were once a proud people, today they can only feel shame and dishonor for having betrayed their ancient culture.

S-400= NO CHANCE (PERIOD)

Tommy Jensen

Exactly. China delivered free noodles to American soupkitchens ONLY to undermine the American society and gain leverage and influence inside America against the US Government.

This is also part of China’s “Full Spectrum Global Dominance” doctrine and one of China’s psy-ops.

Zionism = EVIL

But China did give the crappy Americunt flag to the Walmart rednecks.

MADE IN CHINA

Millions of American flags come from China. Yet despite being symbols of pseudo- patriotism, they’re not among the products subject to new tariffs.

Tommy Jensen

China hopes the Made In China on our flags will undermine American patriots love for their country. But this hope will be in vain! We will never leave America’s Constitution.

Ivan Freely

The US Constitution has been dead for some time. No one in government follows it.

JIMI JAMES

Sadly,no justice will reap in no sound blessing I’m afraid,oh well Trump!

Japan barely has an army they need to arm themselves against ChiNAZI !!!

Certainly not usa in merit one on one (period)The world awakened with an ace up their sleeves,

Bottom line,spawns of the reight sect/incest to recieve the razor sharp edge blow of the sickle, Keep spouting,sour prouts nonesense,won’t need to be,however come push and shove well,
