Beijing: Japan will take a more offensive stance against China over maritime boundary disputes under the incitement of the US, and put China under siege, and it will also incite surrounding countries to do the same, Chinese experts warned, as the US and Japan announced plans to launch a drill on Monday that includes 46,000 personnel against the background of “wariness over China’s maritime activity.”
The drill will be conducted on islands 200 kilometers from Kagoshima city in Japan until November 5. The geography in the area is similar to that on the Diaoyu Islands and the training is being conducted under the strong hypothesis of “unexpected events on the islands,” Japan’s Kyodo News Agency reported Saturday, citing the Japanese defense authority.
