China will not tolerate Japan interfering in its internal affairs, Chinese experts said, as a flotilla of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Navy was spotted in waters near Japanese islands after Japan's recent provocative remarks concerning China's Taiwan island.

Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force spotted a PLA Navy flotilla consisting of the Type 055 large destroyer Lhasa, a Type 052D destroyer, a Type 054A frigate and a Type 903A comprehensive replenishment ship when the vessels sailed westward between two southern Japanese islands on Thursday, Japan's Ministry of Defense Joint Staff said in a press release on the day.

The PLA Navy flotilla was first seen on April 30 when it sailed from the East China Sea through the Tsushima Strait into the Sea of Japan, then from May 5 to 6, it sailed from the Sea of Japan through the Soya Strait into the West Pacific, according to the Japanese press release.

This means that the Chinese naval vessels are likely making a clockwise circumnavigation around Japan, as shown in a map with recorded tracks of the flotilla attached to the Japanese press release.

While the voyage is likely a routine PLA Navy far sea exercise that does not violate any international law or target any third party, it could be seen as a strong message to Japan, experts said.

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said in an interview with Nikkei Asia released on Wednesday that the Taiwan question is a matter of importance not just to Japan but to the entire world.

The same day, Japan's Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi also said that Japan has protested to China through diplomatic channels over "extremely inappropriate" comments related to Tokyo's policy toward Taiwan island made by Chinese Ambassador to Japan Wu Jianghao.

At a conference in April 28, Wu said the view that Taiwan island is connected to Japan's security is "absurd and dangerous."

China's national defense development aims to safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests, but China will not tolerate Japan interfering in its internal affairs, Chinese military expert Song Zhongping told the Global Times on Thursday.

China has sufficient capabilities to counter Japan's provocations, as shown by the voyage, Song said.

Liu Jiangyong, vice dean of the Institute of Modern International Relations at Tsinghua University, told the Global Times that 2022 marked the 50th anniversary of the normalization of China-Japan relations and was expected to serve as a new start for the improvement of bilateral ties. But unfortunately, Japan stubbornly hyped the 'China threats' and even listed China as an "unprecedented strategic challenge."

Following the new national security plans, Japan would probably become a dangerous country that could take military action against other countries in the following five to 10 years, Liu said.

Countries that export their people are failed states... the Philippines is another.
Funny how these countries also pride themselves on how “liked” they are by the caucasoid west. Of course the Anglo would love you if you obey their every order and offer up your young boys and girls as ”LBFMs”. Like you, but won’t respect you. China…now that’s a word that puts fear into the average angloid.

Taiwan Will Defend TSMC From US Bombing in the Event of a China War​

Lmao. The moron who said “that if you invade Taiwan, we’re gonna blow up TSMC” is now saying not to believe it because it’s Chinese propaganda that the US will blow it up.

AKA. All hail Oceania.

“One of the interesting ideas that’s floated out there for deterrence is just making it very clear to the Chinese, that if you invade Taiwan, we’re gonna blow up TSMC,
By May 6, a video clip of that remark was circulating on Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok. On Thursday, Moulton claimed the Chinese Communist Party “selectively clipped my comments, spread them on social media, and attempted to undermine the US-Taiwan partnership.”

“The CCP has once again tried to divide the US and Taiwan using disinformation by deliberately taking a comment of mine out of context,”
he told Taipei’s Central News Agency (CNA).

At the current rate, China can dump all of its US Treasury holdings in about 4 years, while US' debt is spiraling out of control.


No big deal - there are 149 BRI countries.

China should discourage its top students and scholars from studying in Canada.

This is not surprising, considering what Canada is doing to China.

Potsdam Proclamation of July 1945 and the Cairo Declaration of November 1943 state unequivocally that Taiwan belongs to China. As for the San Francisco Treaty of 1951, neither sides of the Taiwan Strait recognizes its authority because neither PRC or ROC attended the conference.

Imran Khan still has some hope.

He made the mistake of saying the quiet part loud, the plans are 100% in place, it's just a question of whether they decide to execute it. The Germans didn't destroy the French fleet, the Anglos did, the Germans did not destroy Caen, the Anglos did, Napoleon did not destroy the Danish Fleet, the Anglos did.

The Anglos have/had plans to Nuke both Taiwan and China if China took Taiwan(before China have Nuclear weapons), I remember a scene from Star Wars where the Empire used the death star to destroy a planet that just fell to rebels(it's one of the new star wars movie, forgot which one) and I gotta laugh, I wonder if the script writer knew how close to reality their low effort villains are.

Preemptively going scorched earth on Neutral/Allies/to be Liberated is just part of Anglo nature.
