Middle Times Society: Who dares to cross the red line of Diaoyutai

A few days ago, Ishihara Shinaro, who was known to Tokyo, posted a text in Twitter.He suggested that Japan should deploy the land -based shield missile system from the United States to the Diaoyu Islands.The Kuomintang Party and Kuomintang legislators of the Taiwan Legislative Yuan have repeatedly attacked the Cai Yingwen government as the cartilage, Tsai Ing -wen is a dying, and Taiwan will only please his elder brother. He dare not say to the Japanese government, and even ask Tsai Ing -wen to declare sovereignty.

The garrison, immigrants, lighthouses, and deployment of missiles in Diaoyutai Lieyu. Leaders or national defense and foreign ministers are regarded as provocative moves across the red line, which is likely to trigger the East China Sea War.The three sides of the day, middle, and Taiwan know that no one wants to do so, because these movements across the red line do not meet important national interests such as strategic security, diplomacy, and economy of all parties, and will also destroy peace and stability in East AsiaEssenceAs far as the current situation of the East China Sea is concerned, all parties still adopt their own rights to protect their rights.

Ishimoto Ishihara, who is old, is unclear, thinking is not delayed, and puts forward unsightly policy suggestions.But he can only shout to satisfy the strong nationalist ideology held by his individuals, and to vent his extremely right -right conservative opposite position.Of course, Abe will not accept his suggestions.

In April 2012, Ishihara made a speech at the Washington Foundation of the United States and proposed to buy several islands in Diaoyutai Lieyu.He actively launched a domestic donation activity to raise enough islands to buy islands.This action forced the Noda Koyan government to make a decision to be a state -owned Diaoyutai Island, which triggered a series of strong reactions in mainland China, including the establishment of the Linghai straight baseline of the Diaoyu Islands and its affiliated islands, and submitted to the East China Sea to extend the mainland to the East China Sea to extend the mainland.Application of the reef painting industry, sending maritime police ships into Diaoyutai 12 miles, launching regular rights protection cruise in the Diaoyutai waters, and drawing the East China Sea Air Defense identification zone.At that time, Prime Minister Noda admitted that Diaoyutai's nationalization incident was a misjudgment in an exclusive interview with the Asahi TV. He did not expect that it would trigger such a big rebound in mainland China.

It is said that the reason why the Ishigaki City Council proposed to rename the Jianye islands to Dengyan City Jiange's reasons to counter the continuous increase in the cruise of mainland China in the fishing Taiwan waters, and to adopt the action of interference and drove away from the nearby waters.EssenceIt is unknown whether this is the independent behavior of the local government of Ishigaki or the Japanese central government's motion behind.However, it is clear that this renovation action has touched the sensitive nerves of the sovereignty of the territorial sovereignty in the platform, Japan, and China. If all parties are not properly handled and calmly dealt with, it will inevitably affect the bilateral relations between Taiwan and Japan and China and Japan.

It is worth noting that Mayor Ishigaki Yoshiko said that the renaming was to strengthen the administrative efficiency of the local government, and the purpose was not to claim territorial sovereignty.He also said that this is the internal affairs of both sides of the Taiwan and Japan, so it will not protest against the Taiwan Council of Taiwan to change the name of Diaoyutai to the Diaoyutai Diaoyutai.The mayor of Zhongshan even posted the banner of both Taiwan and Japan at the end of Twitter to highlight the friendship of Taiwan and Japan.But speaking, he was drawing Taiwan to fight against the mainland.The Japanese government is indeed worried that the two sides of the strait will join forces on Diaoyutai issues.The reason why the Taiwan -Japan Fisheries Agreement was signed in 2013 was that Abe was unwilling to see the cross -strait cooperation with the fight against Japan.

In response to the renovation action of the local government of Ishigaki City, the Tsai government has made a moderate response.Tsai Ing -wen clearly stated that Diaoyutai Lieyu is the territory of the Republic of China and the scope of sovereignty.In a country with territorial disputes, Taiwan's position is to put on hold of disputes and develop together.The Maritime Patrol Department also stated that it will continue to advocate the government's principles such as Diaoyutai Lieyu sovereignty, resolving and prioritizing the rights and interests of fishermen in a peaceful and rational way, and strengthen the defense of Taiwan's sovereignty and fisheries rights.

I have seen whether Taiwan will increase its efforts in the future and adopt the actions of the sovereignty and fishing rights of Diaoyutai. The key is not whether the Ishigaki City Council will vote for a renovation bill after a few days.
