The Philippines Distorts Facts over Ren'ai Jiao Incident The China Coast Guard (CCG) on Monday stated that the Philippine side has distorted facts and falsely accused China after Philippine personnel maliciously attacked Chinese law enforcement personnel in waters near Ren'ai Jiao. According to a CCG statement, the incident occurred at around 9 a.m. on July 20, when a small CCG patrol boat was conducting a routine patrol in waters near China's Ren'ai Jiao. A Philippine vessel illegally grounded at Ren'ai Jiao released two rubber boats, which approached the Chinese vessel at high speed in a dangerous manner. The statement pointed out that, ignoring multiple clear warnings from the Chinese side, the Philippine rubber boats approached the Chinese patrol vessel in a dangerous manner and went on to encircle and ram it. During the incident, the Philippine personnel were the first to maliciously attack Chinese law enforcement personnel with paddles, long poles and other tools. The Chinese side took measures to stabilize the situation on site in accordance with the law and regulations, including issuing verbal warnings, maneuvering to avoid the collision and taking reciprocal countermeasures, while exercising maximum rationality and restraint, the statement read. The CCG stressed that the Philippine side's attempt to falsely accuse China completely reverses right and wrong, urging the Philippines to immediately cease its infringement, provocation and false publicity. The CCG will continue to carry out rights-protection and law enforcement activities in accordance with the law in China's Nansha Qundao (the Nansha Islands), including Ren'ai Jiao, and their adjacent waters, and resolutely safeguard national territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, the statement added. #ChinaCoastGuard #CCG #RenaiJiao #SouthChinaSea #RenaiReef #NanshaIslands #PhilippineProvocation #MaliciousAttack #Philippines #PCG #MaritimeRights #NanshaIslands #NanshaQundao #PhilippineNavy #AFP #ChinaMilitary #ChinaMilBugle

The Devil Still Dances: Decoding Japan’s Military Adventurous Complex That Seeks To Revive Militarism Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi recently delivered a policy speech, once again expressing a strong desire to revise the constitution. She also proposed to fundamentally strengthen Japan's defense capabilities, expand export of lethal weapons, and enhance national intelligence capacity, sending a clear signal of accelerating remilitarization. In recent years, right-wing forces in Japan have grown increasingly assertive, steadily advancing a more covert and deceptive form of neo-militarism under the guise of "peace" and "defense". Their core objective is to break free from the constraints imposed on Japan as a defeated nation in WWII and transform Japan into a military power capable of using force abroad, even waging war. Facts have clearly shown that Japan's neo-militarism is no longer merely a dangerous sign, but a real threat. Its continued rise is becoming one of the most destabilizing factors affecting regional and global peace and stability. Regional countries must collectively resist Japan’s adventurous military expansion and firmly safeguard the hard-won peace and stability of the Asia-Pacific. #Neomilitarism #AsiaPacific #JapanSelfDefenseForces #JapaneseMilitarism #Militarism #Japan #TakaichiSanae #Sanae #Takaichi #SanaeTakaichi #高市早苗 #JSDF #Tomahawk #Type12 #Chinamilitary #ChinaMilBugle

On May 31, the navy and air force troops assigned to the Chinese PLA Southern Theater Command（STC） conducted combat readiness patrols in the territorial sea and airspace of China’s Huangyan Dao and its surrounding areas. Huangyan Dao is an inherent part of China’s territory. Since May, forces of the Chinese PLA STC have enhanced combat readiness patrols in the territorial sea and airspace of Huangyan Dao and its surrounding areas. Such patrols serve as an effective countermeasure to cope with all sorts of rights-violation and provocative acts. They are meant to resolutely safeguard China’s territorial sovereignty and uphold peace and stability in the South China Sea. #HuangyanDao #HuangyanIsland #SouthChinaSea #ChinaMilitary #ChinaMilBugle

The Devil Still Dances: Dead End At the end of a misguided path lies only an abyss. Within the span of a single month, a series of development has underscored the rapid advance of Japan's “neo-militarism”: an active-duty Self-Defense Forces member forcibly intruding into the Chinese Embassy with a knife, the destroyer JS Ikazuchi transiting the Taiwan Strait, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi offering ritual items to Yasukuni Shrine, and the Japanese government completing revisions to the Three Principles on Transfer of Defense Equipment and Technology. Since Sanae Takaichi took office last year, from erroneous remarks on the Taiwan question, to risky military moves, and onward to efforts aimed at constitutional revision, Japan's right-wing forces are moving at an unprecedented pace to strip away the facade of a peaceful nation, once again posing a serious threat to regional peace and stability. The lessons of history are unmistakable. Looking back at Japan before and after the outbreak of World War II, Japan's militarist expansion was always accompanied by systematic deception and manipulation of its own people. In the end, the wars of aggression inflicted immense suffering on the region and brought devastating consequences upon the Japanese people themselves. Eighty years later, right-wing forces in Japan appear intent on repeating the same dangerous course, attempting to draw the country once again into the abyss of neo-militarism, repeating a path that harms both others and itself. The Japanese people should remain highly vigilant. Japan's future does not lie in the perilous illusions promoted by the right-wing forces, but in a thorough reckoning with its history of aggression, in fostering friendly relations with its Asian neighbors, and in firmly upholding regional peace and development. #Chinamilitary #ChinaMilBugle #JapaneseRightWing #JapaneseNeoMilitarism #YasukuniShrine #TheDevilStillDances #JapaneseMilitarism #Militarism #NeoMilitarism #Japan #TakaichiSanae #Sanae #Takaichi #SanaeTakaichi #高市早苗

In response to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remarks that India and Japan will strengthen cooperation in the area of critical minerals, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Friday that such cooperation should not target any third party or undermine its interests. "Still less should such cooperation be used to create exclusive 'small blocs' or stoke confrontation under the pretext of cooperation," Guo said at a daily press briefing. He said cooperation between countries should help enhance understanding and trust among regional nations and safeguard regional peace and stability. Maintaining the stability and security of global industrial and supply chains is a shared responsibility of all countries, he noted, adding that all parties should embrace an open and cooperative mindset and play a constructive role to this end. #Japan #India #Narendra #Modi #NarendraModi #JapaneseMilitarism #NeoMilitarism #IndiaJapan #PMModi #JapanPM #TakaichiSanae #Sanae #Takaichi #SanaeTakaichi #高市早苗

Extracting rare earths from air conditioners is far more than an international joke - it exposes the swelling military ambitions of Japan's right-wing leaders and sounds a dangerous alarm for regional peace and the world order. According to a July 4 report by All Nippon News Network (#ANN), as China tightens export controls on rare earths, Japan has for the first time started extracting rare earth elements from discarded household air conditioners. As soon as the news broke, Japanese netizens were the first to lose their composure. Some commented that "Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi claimed there was 'no problem' with rare earths, but in reality, it looks like we're scraping the bottom of the barrel." "We've reached the point where we have to rummage through trash." Some expressed concern that the move could lead to a surge in thefts of outdoor AC units. It does indeed resemble "trash picking," but dismissing it merely as a joke would be to underestimate the deeper signals and strategic warning it conveys. One detail deserves particular attention: this recycling effort from old air conditioners is being led by Mitsubishi Electric. As a vital military-industrial complex in Japan, Mitsubishi Electric is deeply involved in defense electronics, radars, missile systems, and other fields, which is why it has been placed on China's Ministry of Commerce's export control list. This means the rare earths for permanent magnets extracted from civilian air conditioners are highly likely to flow back into Japan's dual-use production chain, even becoming raw materials for its military expansion - fundamentally altering the nature of the entire endeavor. In fact, extracting rare earths from air conditioners is technologically difficult, costly, and faces major challenges in recovery rates and purity. Yet how can anyone view a country that is rummaging through garbage to build missiles as just a laughing matter? This somewhat embarrassing so-called "resource self-rescue" effort reflects, from one angle, the precision, necessity, and timeliness of China's upgraded export controls on rare earths and other dual-use items to Japan. Recently, reports emerged of Japanese nationals in China suspected of smuggling rare earths. Why is Japan in such a panic? Since January this year, exports of dysprosium and terbium from China's controlled rare earth categories to Japan have dropped to zero, while yttrium exports have plummeted by more than 90 percent year-on-year. Faced with such a sharp drop in rare earth supply, what will Japanese right-wing forces use to sustain their ever-expanding military-industrial complex? Japan's attempt to "pry open" this valve by extracting rare earths from old air conditioners precisely exposes the strategic predicament of its "remilitarization." It is trapped in a vicious cycle: remilitarization creates greater demand for rare earths, but the more it pushes remilitarization, the less access it has to those rare earths. What Japan lacks most has never been rare earth resources, but the strategic clarity to face history squarely and uphold peace, as well as the rational understanding to return to people's livelihood and development while living in friendship with neighboring countries. Hard-won East Asian peace must not be wantonly undermined by any single country. #RareEarths #レアアース #DualUse #ExportControls #MitsubishiElectric #AirConditioner #エアコン #資源リサイクル #MilitaryIndustrialComplex #Japan
