Japan: our biggest enemy, our best "teacher

Finally, the Diaoyu Islands collision to Zhanqi Xiong home, come to an end. However, this matter is by no means ended, nor ended the Diaoyu Islands issue. On the contrary, China and Japan on the issue of sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands and Commander, has just entered a new stage.


Rise in sight, the oath to defend the ancestral property in China, and the Diaoyu Islands have been seized in the hand, Japan has not had time to swallow, the contest on this issue, will likely be a long, sharp, and sometimes may also be intense.


This time, this issue, relations between China and Japan intensified, by no means an ordinary collision - recently announced that more troops from the southwestern islands of Japan, to the sea-air joint exercises, to present at the Diaoyu Islands in the collision Japan in the so-called "islands" on the issue of a new trend, people doubts have arisen.


World War II, according to the "Potsdam Agreement" and the "Cairo Declaration", including the Diaoyu Islands, Taiwan Penghu Islands, including the return to China, but Japan has refused to return the Diaoyu Islands, while maintaining the "low-key control" strategy.


Not long ago, in Japan decided to defer a Chinese fishing boat captain, tensions between Japan on the occasion, the exclusive Japanese media disclosed a message again to stimulate the Chinese people's nerves. Japan's Kyodo News reported on September 20, said in response to the Diaoyu Islands issue, Japan's Defense Ministry plans will be based in the so-called "Southwest Islands," the Self-Defense Force from the current number of 2,000 to 2 million; the same time, for preventing China and other reasons, the size of the existing land Self-Defense Forces to expand from 15.5 million to 16.8 million.


Storm intensified in the occasion of the collision, the Japanese now plan to spread "southwest islands" surge, news, and its occupation of the Diaoyu Islands by force intent all too clear.


Kyodo News agency reported, in response to the Senkaku Islands (known as Diaoyu in China), the Japanese defense force is to study the weak west of Miyako Island, Okinawa Prefecture deployment of troops. Okinawa Island now number only about 2,000 GSDF people, new ideas are: 2020, this number will increase to 2 million people unmanning.


Japan said the "southwest islands" refers to the south of Kyushu, Japan, China Taiwan Island, east of the island, including sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands in China.


The Cold War, the Japanese former Soviet Union as the imaginary enemy to deploy defense forces in the northern focus, "Southwest Islands," the defense is relatively lax. After the Cold War, the Japanese Self-Defense Force began discussions in the "southwest islands" strengthening defense forces. In 2004, National Defense Program Outline, due to the Sino-Japanese relations in a trough, and strengthen the "southwest islands" of the defense forces, at the time it becomes overwhelming views. Over the past few years, this trend continues unabated.


In fact, Japan has long been demonstrated to enhance the "southwest islands" unmanning signs. It is reported that Japan will at the end of the introduction of the new "National Defense Program Outline", an important change is that defensive focus to emphasize the "Southwest Islands."


This year in July, Japan's "Sankei Shimbun" also reported that in response to the growing and frequent appearance of the Chinese Navy East China Sea and the Pacific, Japan will expand the number of submarines and equipment, from the current 18 to 20 vessels. This will be Since 1976, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force, for the first time to increase the number of submarines.


So, the Japanese in the end to do?


So, the Japanese in the end want to do?


New recently, Japan has forced the U.S. government made it clear at first, "Japan-US Security Treaty" applies to the Diaoyu Islands - this time, Hillary's position, the Japanese right-wing activists, can be described as happy to have deserted them, and tread.


Subsequently, the Japanese media revealed that Japan and the U.S. scheduled for December in the waters, including the Diaoyu, to "win Island" joint military exercises - that is the East China Sea dispute in the U.S. factor in some time, the shadow of the United States , always like ghost, floating suddenly go.


Then, Japanese media reported that Japanese proposed to the 25 Islands "nationalization", and claimed this as a Japanese exclusive economic zone and continental shelf of the "important basis" and the basis points. Two weeks after the storm and Japan over the Diaoyu Islands collision took place - in fact, Japan is very good at calculation, this dispute, but also in Japan through precise calculation before deciding so dry.


The chain of events, if "accidental" or "coincidence" to explain, would these two innocent words, burned to death. Look through the phenomenon of the nature of recent times Japan's "performance" and had to make people think, Japan accounted for brewing the Diaoyu Islands by forcibly.


Coincidentally, the only expansion of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force to be, there is an event that "Japan Coast Guard" to expand their power. Has been dispatched warships to avoid, may bring a series of diplomatic and legal issues, the Japanese government has to Coast Guard, as a routine patrol and monitor the main waters of the Diaoyu Islands.


Although the Japan Coast Guard's duties are defined as maritime security and safeguard its maritime rights and interests and marine disaster prevention and relief, but compared to similar institutions in other countries, the Japan Coast Guard has a staggering scale.

Before World War II, Japan's surrounding waters of the alert and ambulance, all belong to the management of areas of the Japanese navy. After the defeat of the requirements under the U.S. occupation headquarters in Japan in addition to mine-sweeping forces of the Navy, be dissolved.


At that time the waters surrounding Japan, smuggling is rampant, in May 1948, the Japanese authorities in the transport savings, anchored by a department dedicated to maritime security repeated line management, maritime rescue duties. The department is the Coast Guard.


Initially it is only a transitional body to replace the temporary dissolution of the Japanese Navy. At that time some Japanese politicians, fantasy can be restored if the Japanese army, this will be cut down and merge the temporary sector. In order to restore the glory at any time, so he used the Japanese Maritime Safety Agency, to save the Navy elite.


In fact, the Japan Coast Guard was almost canceled several times, the most serious one in the Japanese government decided to set up self-defense, consider the Coast Guard directly converted into a Maritime Self Defense Force troops. But the beginning is an imitation of the Coast Guard into the United States Coast Guard, members of the Navy is basically not born, but the original jurisdiction of all police schools of higher merchant, and thus be a former Japanese naval personnel generated intense opposition and conflict. Multi-game, the Japanese government finally decided to build a new navy, the members of the navy school students mainly by the Coast Guard merchant schools, police academies and some Navy personnel.


In summary we can see, the Japan Coast Guard's responsibilities broadly cover four areas:


One guard, all at sea by the Coast Guard responsible for various crimes.


Second, sea rescue, including fire, collision, salvage and other sudden illness.


Third, the Marine intelligence operations, including charts, ocean currents, undersea fault and other marine related information and measurement.


Fourth, traffic management, including candlesticks management, sea management.


The surface is such, in fact, the Coast Guard is a very strong paramilitary forces. Japanese naval vessels before the war, in addition to being outside of the U.S. military destroyed, and the rest by the Coast Guard to take over. 60 years after the war time, Coast Guard's overall strength has greatly improved, a variety of large and medium-sized sea patrol vessels to reach more than 100, more than a general medium-sized countries with naval power.


To improve the Coast Guard's combat capability, since 1999, Coast Guard, and Maritime Self Defense Force on a regular basis to "Diaoyu Islands" as the background for joint fire training, exchange of information training and exercise. In 2002 alone, the two sides of the various types of joint training to achieve more than 30 times.


In the present situation of Japan's economic downturn, the Japanese are cutting the budget of each department, however, as the Coast Guard under the jurisdiction of the land department of transportation infrastructure in the province of the budget instead of increasing. Scope of their activities, but also from the waters surrounding Japan has extended to the Malacca Strait and other waters. Thus, the Japan Coast Guard is not wearing a military jacket military forces.


Japanese Islands surge is to the Diaoyu Islands; Japan Coast Guard to expand its powers, but also to the Diaoyu Islands - Review of the Sino-Japanese dispute over the Diaoyu Islands, Japan's action, generally through the following phases: keep a low profile, refusing to return; civil ( right-wing groups) landed on the island, declared the so-called sovereignty; MEPC Hall shot, the expulsion of the Chinese "Diaoyu Islands" ship - the actual control of the Diaoyu Islands waters ...


This process, up to 50 years, interlocking, very well - the Japanese deliberately, and do not give up the character, the interpretation of the head.


An obvious fact is that, due to the rapid rise of China, China's national security are also facing the greatest pressure for over 30 years: the Taiwan issue, pending; South China Sea, a small country, gathered excesses; East China Sea, Japan coveted; southwest India, eyeing; the North Korean nuclear crisis, endanger China - these problems, China has surrounded from the East China Sea to the South China Sea, and then southwest, then west, wild ambition who, everywhere!


Personally feel that, in this issue, Japan is our enemy, but also our best "teacher" - the Diaoyu Islands issue - and even there the entire East China Sea issue, the South China Sea issue, involving the national interest in all the territory, territorial waters disputes, we should reflect on the most is our attitude and approach, and we should learn the most, is our greatest enemy: Japan!


Learning Jianqiao Japan, operating practices in a number of things, such as while shouting "China threat", while developing its own military strength; such as the North Korean nuclear threat while shouting, while their large stores of nuclear material; example, like wolves, do not reached to never give up, and so on ...
