What a picture, I must say!

Two Japan Coast Guard vessels JCG Muzuki & JCG Nobaru ramming a Chinese Maritime Militia boat whose crew had illegally placed a Chinese flag on Japan's Uotsuri Island!

Chinese militia got the treatment they deserve! @MalayaIrredenta @ChongJaIan

[Michael Turner @Michael71T]

A Chinese fishing vessel was illegally operating inside Japanese territory & when the Japan Coast Guard challenged it & asked to leave the Japanese waters, the Chinese boat tried to deliberately hit the Japan Coast Guard Vessel!

The Chinese fishing militia are cockroaches!

[Michael Turner @Michael71T]

This is Chinese Martine aggression at display, yet again!

China is a an aggressor. Now that Japan is rising as a prominent military power in the region, China is anxious.

[Michael Turner @Michael71T]

At the time when Philippines & Japan are negotiating their maritime boundaries & Japan is on the brink of supplying critical defense platforms to Philippines, The Chinese aircraft carrier Liaoning is operating in the Philippine Sea, as if warning Manila to hold the talks!

[Michael Turner @Michael71T]

The world needs Japan more than ever. We welcome its efforts to strengthen its military, deter China’s invasion of Taiwan, protect the Senkaku Islands, and prevent China’s expansion in the South China Sea. China labels this “new militarism” for obvious reasons.

[Michael Turner @Michael71T]

China, Count Your Nuclear Warheads Before Accusing Japan Of Militarization!

[Michael Turner @Michael71T]

The biggest "Military Aggressor" & a constant Bully is accusing a constitutionally pacifist nation of "Militarisation"!

China's annual defense budget is more than the rest of Asia combined!

Have a look at Chinese Militarisation👇

[Michael Ron Bowling @mrbcyber]

China is condemning Japans militarization but this graph shows the real story.

It is China that's dramatically expanding its military capacity and using those resources to threaten its neighbors.

[Michael Turner @Michael71T]

China has started building structures at the Scarborough Shoal. Soon, these small structures will turn into runways, missile silos, naval dockyard etc.

This is exactly how China converted Mischief Reef into a massive military base. Now it's Scarborough Shoal.

Wake Up, World!

[Collin Koh 🇸🇬🇺🇦 @CollinSLKoh]

Troubling if confirmed. PRC's self-declared "national nature reserve" at Scarborough Shoal delineated zones that forbid and permit construction activities. In any case, being close to the strategic Bashi Channel up north this feature is vital prime estate. https://t.co/GbLnXW7W3d

[Michael Turner @Michael71T]

Japan is "Checkmating" China is a big way!

More power to Tokyo!

[Michael Turner @Michael71T]

The CCP shouts "peace" every day, but in reality, it's carrying out high-intensity military encirclement and gray-zone harassment against Taiwan daily.

[Michael Turner @Michael71T]

China drove away a foreign vessel, sailing in the international waters!

This is a message to all other nations. Do exactly what China did to the Dutch ships.

Do not let Chinese ships sail in you waters!

Expell Chinese ships from international waters, close to you!

[Michael Turner @Michael71T]

What is lawful in intruding other nation's territory?

Kinmen Island belongs to Taiwan!

[Global Times @globaltimesnews]

The Fujian Coast Guard conducted routine law-enforcement patrols in accordance with the law in the waters near #Kinmen on Wednesday, Zhu Anqing, spokesperson for the China Coast Guard Donghai Branch, announced. Since the beginning of May, the Fujian Coast Guard have dispatched task groups to strengthen control and management over relevant waters. It is an effective step to protect the legitimate rights and interests, as well as the lives and property of fishermen on both sides of the Straits, and to ensure orderly navigation and activities in the waters between Xiamen and Kinmen, according to the spokesperson.

In the South China Sea, such fleets include militia units whose members are full-time fishermen but can also be called up by Beijing to support security tasks.

Argentinian Navy Patrol Aircraft Monitoring The Illegal Chinese Fishing Boats Inside Argentina's Waters!

Chinese fleets expanded across the world largely after Beijing overfished and depleted stocks in its own coastal waters.

[Michael Turner @Michael71T]

India & other Quad nations will build port infrastructure in Fiji to expand reach into Pacific nations.

That's a great move to counter China's militarisation of the region.

[Michael Turner @Michael71T]

This is China Coast Guard speed boats blocking Philippines Coast Guard's emergency medical rescue mission near Second Thomas Shoal, inside Philippines's EEZ, over 1000km away from Chinese territory.

China calls this "Law Enforcement"

This is the most brutal form of intimidation

[Michael Turner @Michael71T]

A Taiwan Coast Guard ship Challenged a China Coast Guard Ship inside Taiwanese waters.

The message broadcasted by the Taiwanese vessel was- "Your actions prove that China's "peace" is a scam; the international community will not support you. Please do not destroy peace"

[Michael Turner @Michael71T]

The Taiwanese people publicly rebuked the opposition KMT's decision to strip it down to $25 billion and eliminate all domestic drone programs, sea attack platforms, and the Chiang Kung missile system that anchors Taiwan's air defense architecture.

[Michael Turner @Michael71T]

Hundreds of Taiwanese took to the streets of Taipei on Saturday demanding their government be allowed to fully arm itself.

[Michael Turner @Michael71T]

On May 23, citizens rallied in Taipei in direct support of President Lai Ching-te's $40 billion defense budget request.
