The territorial violation by China is the latest in a series of events amplifying tensions between Beijing and Japan.

A Chinese military surveillance plane breached Japanese airspace off the country’s southwestern coast on Monday, marking what Japan’s defense ministry described as the first known incursion by China’s military into its territorial airspace.

According to a ministry official, a Chinese reconnaissance aircraft briefly entered Japanese territory near Nagasaki Prefecture around 11:30 a.m. on Monday. In response, Japan’s Self-Defense Force put fighter jets on high alert and issued a warning to the Chinese aircraft.

While Chinese planes frequently appear in international airspace around Japan, this incident represents the first confirmed entry of a military aircraft into Japan’s territorial airspace.

Turkey isn't reliant on Russia, while Japan is very reliant on China.

China is a baby when it comes to politics, gets mad and never apologizes over the smallest thing.

Example when Australia said they wanted an investigation for COVID. China quickly took offense and banned coal, beef and wine imports.

Another example when Japan released Fukushima water into Ocean (following protocol). China got mad because Japan were "polluting" the water, so they banned fish imports from Japan. Irony is that China does it way worse and unregulated.

Just think what this airplane could start if they shoot it down.

Why is Japan reliant on China?

[-] Cyberjin@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Japan 🗾 is very isolated and everything is made in China. Even a lot of food imports are from China too. If you go to local supermarket in Japan, a lot of meat are labeled from China or "overseas" to hide it.

Personally I'm been trying to avoid as much I can because China doesn't have the best record when it comes hygiene and food safety.

How about human rights? What's their record with that?

[-] Cyberjin@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Um China has a really bad record with human rights, I could write a book 😅 but a prime example is the ugyhurs genocide that's still going on today.

Yes......that was the joke.

Food makes sense.

Manufacturing AFAIK is moving to the US since Japan can't afford the insecurity of dealing economically with China for goods.
