Japan is deploying medium-range missiles in the Ryukyu Islands, on Yonaguni, just 110 km from China's Taiwan. This move revives a forgotten name: Ryukyu. Once a thriving kingdom with its own culture and was recognized by many countries, Ryukyu was gradually erased: annexed by Japan, manipulated after WWII, and... show more

A Japanese influencer’s unrelated video was edited without consent, Chinese subtitles were added saying “Ryukyu should be returned to China”, and it’s now spreading on Chinese social media. The Japanese woman in the video says she is scared. This is manipulation, not opinion. Using innocent people for political propaganda is unacceptable. #DisinformationCampaign #PropagandaExposed #StopUsingPeople #PsychologicalWarfare #CCPPropaganda #FreeSpeech #Japan #RyukyuIsJapan

Japan is escalating its response to China’s threats against Taiwan. Tokyo has announced plans to deploy missiles on Yonaguni Island—just 68 miles from Taiwan—marking one of Japan’s clearest warnings yet to the Chinese Communist Party. The move comes in the middle of a growing feud between China and Japan that has already triggered export restrictions, cultural retaliation, and rising military tensions. Is Japan preparing for a future conflict over Taiwan?

Great explanation of the China-Japan altercation by Chas Freeman, imho the wisest diplomat ever produced by the US (he's had many roles, including Asst. Secretary of Defense and famously the main interpreter for Nixon during his epochal 1972 China visit) He first describes in his speech the origin of the altercation as being "Japan's threat to extend its defense perimeter to include Taiwan." Afterwards he goes into a longer explanation in the Q&A in which he said: "Prime Minister Takaichi... answer[ed] a hypothetical question in the Diet by suggesting that Taiwan was now once again part of Japan for defense purposes. And this of course would embolden people in Taiwan to continue to pursue independence rather than reassociation with the rest of China, and therefore it is a strategic change of some significance." In effect, as he explains, it's unacceptable to China in several ways: 1) With regards to Japan's colonial history vis a vis Taiwan, it's especially provocative to now once more make Taiwan part of Japan's territory for defense purposes. 2) Because it emboldens independentist forces in Taiwan and therefore makes war MORE likely. This is Japan basically telling independentists: you can go ahead and declare independence, if war breaks out as a result we have your back. If you want an analogy, it's as if Macron announced officially that the French army would militarily defend Catalonia from Spain if it's seceded. 3) Last but not least, it fundamentally challenges the post-WWII settlement, on which the world order is based. As Freeman explains, Taiwan was recovered from Japan under the Cairo and Potsdam declarations - Allied war aims that the U.S. and China fought and bled for together. By re-extending its defense perimeter to Taiwan, Japan is effectively seeking to reverse the outcome of WWII.

The founder of one of America's most important defense companies just issued a chilling warning that should stop you cold: Taiwan is not China's final destination. It is merely the opening move. Palmer Luckey, founder of Anduril Industries, the autonomous weapons powerhouse building tech for the U.S. military, made the terrifying reality plain. America cannot outmanufacture China. Beijing's industrial capacity in missiles and warships already dwarfs the U.S. annually. But Luckey argues that matching them weapon-for-weapon is the wrong metric. The strategy must be absolute denial, making an invasion of Taiwan too costly to ever attempt. "There's a world where they have a hundred times more ballistic missiles than us and we still have enough between us and our allies to deny them access to Taiwan." But the most alarming part of Luckey's warning is what happens if Taiwan falls. He isn't just worried about Taipei; he is terrified of what comes next. "If they take Taiwan, history and the words out of Xi Jinping's own mouth show they're immediately going to hop over to Okinawa, part of the Philippines, maybe part of Vietnam." Luckey exposed a critical detail the public is completely missing. Xi Jinping has personally targeted the Ryukyu Islands, the Japanese chain including Okinawa that sits between Japan and Taiwan, by citing 650-year-old archives claiming they were a Chinese tributary state. As Luckey bluntly interpreted: "He's not saying this because he loves wandering the national archives. They are constructing a national narrative that would allow them to convince their people to start with Taiwan and end with a lot of our Pacific allies." This isn't theory; it is documented. Chinese state media and academic journals are already actively questioning Japan's sovereignty over Okinawa. It is the exact, deliberate pattern of narrative construction the CCP deploys before it strikes: establish a historical grievance, build public consensus, then move. Beijing has already sanctioned Luckey and Anduril for supporting Taiwan's defense because they know he sees their playbook clear as day. Taiwan is just the first domino. #UnveiledChina #TaiwanInvasion #PalmerLuckey #Anduril #NationalSecurity #Okinawa #CCPPropaganda #IndoPacific #Deterrence

Japan Quietly Upgraded Its Military — With Taiwan’s Help. This TSMC Move Just Made a Taiwan Invasion Much Harder. China keeps talking about invading Taiwan. But while everyone was watching the headlines, something far more important happened. TSMC—the world’s most advanced and profitable chipmaker—decided to bring 3-nanometer production to Japan. Not legacy chips. Not trailing nodes. The crown jewels. In this video, I break down how Taiwan and TSMC just helped Japan upgrade its deterrence capabilities at the silicon level—why this move quietly reshapes the military balance in East Asia, raises the cost of a Taiwan invasion, and leaves China structurally locked out of the future.

After deploying missiles on Yonaguni Island, just 110 kilometers from Taiwan, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force is preparing to install laser weapons on its combat ships. The ship JS Asuka has already been equipped with a 100-kilowatt laser system. Drew Pavlou 🇦🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 Yael _Formosa 鹿島之風🧋⛩️ Aaron-Matthew Lariosa

🚨 JAPAN DEPLOYS LONG-RANGE MISSILES CAPABLE OF STRIKING CHINA Japan is preparing to deploy upgraded Type-12 missiles with a range of roughly 1,000 km in Kyushu by the end of March. The move would give Tokyo, for the first time in decades, the capability to strike military targets on the Chinese mainland if a conflict were to erupt. Japanese officials say the deployment is part of a broader effort to strengthen deterrence amid rising tensions in East Asia, particularly around Taiwan and the East China Sea. Beijing has sharply criticized the plan, warning it could undermine regional stability and escalate the arms race in the Pacific. The shift reflects a major change in Japan’s defence posture as the security environment in Asia continues to harden.

🇨🇳China has released drone-captured footage showing how the PLA Eastern Theater Command deployed naval and air forces to monitor🇯🇵Japanese destroyer JS Ikazuchi's provocative transit through the Taiwan Strait. This is a powerful signal after🇨🇳China lodged a strong protest with🇯🇵Japan over its naval vessel's passage through the Taiwan Strait on April 17. The timing of the incident also coincided with the anniversary of the 1895 Treaty of Shimonoseki, in which China was forced to cede Taiwan and the Pescadores Islands to Japanese colonial rule, which lasted until Japan's unconditional surrender at the end of WWII in 1945.

"TAIWAN IS PREPARING FOR WAR WITH CHINA" Taiwan is actively planning to acquire nine additional National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS) batteries as part of its ongoing efforts to bolster air defenses amid escalating tensions with China. NASAMS, developed jointly by U.S. firm Raytheon (now RTX) and Norway's Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace, is a modular, medium-range system proven in Ukraine. The system uses AMRAAM-ER missiles for engagements up to 50 km in range and 21 km in altitude, capable of tracking and firing on up to 72 targets simultaneously - ideal for countering Chinese cruise missiles, drones, and aircraft.

After Japan's new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi claimed that a Taiwan "emergency" could constitute a "survival-threatening situation", some Western commentators labeled China's full-spectrum diplomatic response an "overreaction". But before talking about China's reaction, we must be honest about what Japan escalated first. "Survival crisis" is a legal war trigger under Japan's 2015 security legislation, allowing the use of force even when Japan isn't attacked. This is the first time a Japanese prime minister has implied Japan could enter a war with China over Taiwan — a matter that is purely China's internal affair. Meanwhile, Japan is re-militarizing, mirroring the 1930s, when Japan used the logic of "existential fear" to justify its invasions. With unresolved wartime history, this is an alarm bell China cannot ignore. And claims that China is "ungrateful" for Japan's ODA are pure gaslighting. In fact, Japan's ODA to China was not charity. Over 80% was loans, not free money. And China had to spend the money on Japanese companies, equipment and contractors. In the end, Japan earned far more from China than it ever "gave". So, China's response is not an overreaction; it is a responsible government acting responsibly. #MediaUnlocked

Russian leader states test launch is response to U.S. and UK long-range missiles targeting pre-war Russia, adding that #Washington’s warmongering expansion direct reason for Moscow’s retaliatory measure: We are developing medium- and shorter-range missiles as a response to U.S. plans to produce and deploy medium- and shorter-range missiles in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. The United States made a mistake by unilaterally destroying the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty in 2019 under a far-fetched pretext. Let me remind you that Russia voluntarily, unilaterally committed itself not to deploy medium- and shorter-range missiles until American weapons of this kind appear in any region of the world. Let me repeat that we are conducting combat tests of the Oreshnik missile system in response to the aggressive actions of #NATO countries against #Russia Oreshnik missiles have top speed of Mach 10 - that’s whopping 3 km per SECOND - with Russian Prez adding that civilians will be given advance warning before Russian forces use ballistic missiles.
