Japan was humiliated on Diaoyu Islands fishing boat incident

Oct 18

Chinese Fishing boat - No. 5179 Jin Min Yue

Japan suffered a diplomatic humiliation, as it was forced to bow to Chinese demands release of the Chinese captain. Handling this matter prove to the world, Japanese politicians question how in the face of diplomatic incompetence. But also propose a more serious question: why Japan has taken such a strong position. The answer seems clear is that Beijing is pursuing similar to the “big stick” foreign policy. The policy was originally proposed by the United States in the early 20th century introduced.

Whether economically or militarily, China is close to become the world’s second largest power. To help the construction of port facilities in the name, China has in Myanmar, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Pakistan, building a naval base. Beijing has also determined to control the South China Sea, where it with Vietnam, the Philippines and other countries territorial disputes.

Beijing has taken the typical pattern is to send naval vessels seized near disputed islands in the Philippines more fishing vessels, the de facto control of these islands. The Chinese leadership seems fully aware that “big stick” diplomacy for more weak country’s most effective. China is now seeking to expand its sphere of influence, not only in the South China Sea, the East China Sea is also true.

Given the economic and military power, China may have to start thinking that they are close to the restoration of the Qing Dynasty to the strength and prosperity. In order to maintain their standard of living of the 1.3 billion people, China has to ensure that resources are safe. To achieve this goal, China is to wage war on three fronts. First, build support for China’s domestic and international public opinion. Second, psychological warfare, designed to reduce confrontation with the Chinese national army morale. The third is to promote the legalization of Beijing’s territorial claims. Take the day that the incident broke out, Japan was defeated, at least from the psychological point of view.

With the Chinese nationalist sentiment rising in stark contrast, the apparent lack of Japanese nationalism. 60 years since the end of World War II, the Japanese people have always believed that “the Constitution,” the preamble of the declaration. Today, the Japanese began to realize that “Japan is the only dangerous countries in the region and was surrounded by the peace-loving neighbors” this view is wrong. Perhaps the Japanese should be grateful to China, because through fishing event, China to provide a return to more normal Japanese and realistic thinking opportunities.

China captain Zhan Qixiong, extraordinary performance in detention of Japan

Sep 28

Posted by admin in China, Japan | Comments off

Zhan Qixiong face criminal prosecution stressed that so far insisted that his innocence, because “Chinese territory Diaoyu Islands, their fishing operations in waters of the Diaoyu Islands is justified.”

Zhanqi Xiong denied “intentional collision,” the Japanese charges. This also makes the case deadlocked.

Here, the Japanese side has repeatedly warned Zhanqi Xiong, such as not guilty, the case a maximum sentence of three years or a fine of five hundred thousand yen, but Zhanqi Xiong said: If I plead guilty, will be the Chinese nation ages. This stalemate to ten days of detention expires, Japan, the prosecution can then apply for extension of helplessness Zhanqi Xiong ten days of detention.

Japanese law provides for a maximum period of detention the suspects for the twenty days, when the time or acquitted or has been prosecuted. Zhan Qixiong within twenty days at this time in release, from a legal sense the equivalent of “acquittal.” This is actually equivalent to Japan’s recognition of Zhanqi Xiong, “Chinese territory Diaoyu Islands” rhetoric in law also overturned the “illegal cross-border,” one said.

Japan hopes to captain his mouth from Zhanqi Xiong gain?

According to “Japan Xinhua China Press” reported on suspicion of violating Japan’s “Fisheries Act” (to avoid boarding) on the grounds of China, “Jin-Yue Min No. 5179,” the captain investigation, trial, Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary who issued by the Paradise Valley speech, said: “According to our laws seriously. I do not think this will have great impact. I think the reaction in Japan and do not overheat, it is necessary the matter calmly.”

 According to another report: Japan Coast Guard spokesman said. If Zhan Qixiong admitted charges of disrupting public service, and pay the fine, you can quickly release, or face trial.

 One wonders whether the Japanese mouth from Zhanqi Xiong what?

First of all, the Diaoyu Islands to Zhanqi Xiong mouth confession is “Japan’s territory.” Of course, Zhan Qixiong as a national representative of the Chinese people have no right to say that the Diaoyu Islands is Japan, but Zhanqi Xiong Diaoyu Islands is Japan if admitted, that news value is not a general, Japan could then play all the media uproar in the whole world declared Diaoyu Islands is Japan’s, even the Chinese people are admitted, you can not recognize the Chinese government it? The confidence of the Japanese occupation of the Diaoyu Islands is more enough.

 Secondly, the Japanese people to test the Chinese common people is how to treat their own country. Past three decades, Chinese people have less interest in politics, the political elite has been a matter of a few, many people have no intention or right to participate in them, as the captain and crew of fishing every day, every day of light map with money, should not be too concerned about who is the Diaoyu Islands issue. Japan, China seized this moment the crew, the captain, is to see Chinese citizens in political indifference, like to take this opportunity to get “Diaoyu Islands is Japan’s” Chinese statement, the Chinese government to give in to blackmail.

 Once again, ordinary Chinese people in Japan want to test the attitude of Japan. Japan 65 years ago, Chinese people fear and hate, the first time in 65 years time, Japanese products visit China again. Chinese crew arrested in Japan, that is, ordinary Chinese people to see there is no fear of Japan, and if so, Japan will be happy to die if the captain is the boss of China’s crude, the Japanese said that the Diaoyu Islands is Japan’s, the crew also recognition of the Diaoyu Islands is Japan, that Japan can estimate the attitude of the whole of China to Japan, China to do in order to further threaten the political preparation.

 Japan tried to use the laws of Japan, the Chinese captain Zhanqi Xiong, believe that every Chinese person holds a sweat, our captain we know nothing, do not know how to face the Chinese captain of the question of Japan will do not fall into the trap set by Japan, will not be as round as the Library Cave priest king handed over to sell to a foreign national treasure, will not go along with the Japanese that the Diaoyu Islands is Japan’s, will say in order the early release of detrimental to China’s sovereignty, then the Chinese people are waiting for the result.

 Chinese crew arrested in Japan, is the spirit of the Chinese people to the dynamics of the investigation, they hope to prove the spirit of the Chinese nation is a decadent nation, a nation conquered by money mercenary, is a nation without a vision is an re-colonized nation, is an unknown marine rights and interests, I do not know the noble national territory is free to be teased a nation, the nation’s hope to those unknown people who, if the nation is numb people, even then a high GDP is no future and hope.

Japan paid a heavy costs for the Diaoyu Islands provocation

Sep 26

Posted by admin in Japan | Comments off

Just past the “9.18 Incident” 79 anniversary of the march, in order to divert the Chinese government and Chinese people’s great restraint and a little under the waves of fashion. The same day, the Japanese Embassy in Beijing 50 meters away to the entrance cordoned off, after the first batch of marchers through the cordon, the cordon was later caught a procession to protest outside the restraint. However, China’s restraint in return is the Japanese decided to defer a Chinese fishing boat captain.

As Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao on September 21 meeting in New York and other overseas Chinese living in America have said, Japan has not released the Chinese captain, has “aroused the anger of all Chinese people at home and abroad.” At present, the Chinese counter-measures against Japan to further upgrade, while Japan may therefore bear the loss of only one word to describe: only itself to blame.

“Counter measures” escalating

September 19, in the China captain Zhan Qixiong  illegal detention for 10 days, a Japanese court approval, will extend its 10-day detention period. Vice Foreign Minister Wang Guangya of China said that day, such as Japan insisted, the Chinese side will take a strong “counter-measures”, which bear all the consequences from the Japanese side.

After the collision, including State Councilor Dai, Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi and Vice Foreign Minister Wang Guangya of China, including officials have repeatedly warned Japan not to play with fire. From the wording of the Chinese position “reserved the right to make further reaction” to “the overall situation of Sino-Japanese relations will have a severe impact” and on to the previous “unconscionable Japan if they continue, will suffer” until the “anti- control measures, “the formation of increasing pressure on Japan.

In fact, the “counter-measures” of the “hit” than “export” much earlier. As early as September 9, China has sent to the Diaoyu Islands waters fishery enforcement vessels to protect the Chinese fishermen; September 11, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said China has decided to postpone the scheduled mid-September at the second East China Sea issue consensus on the principles of intergovernmental negotiations; September 14, the Chinese side also announced to defer to the Secretary-General of the NPC delegation headed by Li Jianguo visit to Japan; September 19, series of moves Chinese: suspended above provincial and ministerial level bilateral exchanges, suspension of the two sides to increase flights to China and Japan to expand aviation rights of contact, delay in the comprehensive meeting on the coal, to postpone the Shanghai World Expo 1000 will be invited to the activities of Japanese youth to visit … …

China’s “counter-measures” did not end there. 20, the NPC Foreign Affairs Committee of China Li Zhaoxing, the provisional decision not to attend the China-Japan held in Nanjing Qiye Jia forums; 21, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman, said Premier Wen Jiabao attended the United Nations in New York during the series of meetings, not with Japan Leaders at the meeting.

In addition, there are media reports that China has delivered equipment for the East China Sea gas field Chunxiao may be unilateral exploitation. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said in response to the oil and gas field China has full sovereignty and jurisdiction over the activities of the Chinese entirely reasonable and legitimate.

Some analysts said China’s measures to counter the escalating Japan, that China has been Japan’s stubborn errors intolerable.

Sino-Japanese relations hit rock bottom

Experts generally believe that with the Chinese side suspended the provincial level or above with the Japanese exchanges, the Sino-Japanese relations have plunged into an unprecedented slump. Deputy Director of Institute of Japanese Studies of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Gao Hong in a media interview that “suspension of the Sino-Japanese political relations provincial level or above, is the normalization of diplomatic relations 38 years, never had.”

The deterioration of relations between the two countries, is undoubtedly the most damage between the two countries and make unremitting efforts to lay the foundation had just the strategic mutual trust. For reasons known Sino-Japanese relations is both sensitive and complex, so whether it is China or Japan, are taking the strategic mutual trust and political trust and the development of bilateral relations as one of the most important. Both sides know that if the strategic mutual trust and weaken to a certain extent, both in the territorial dispute on the issue, there are grudges in the history of the country, even the peaceful coexistence are more difficult, not to mention the development of relations.

Just before the arrival of this storm suddenly, Sino-Japanese relations has been through a very hopeful period. In 2006, he continuously visited the Yasukuni Shrine, and therefore cold snap led to Sino-Japanese relations, Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi stepped down, his successor, Shinzo Abe, the prompt start of “ice-breaking trip” to visit China, Sino-Japanese relationship has ended up to 5 years silence ushered in a turning point. The following year, Premier Wen Jiabao to Japan to “melt the ice.” “Ice-breaking” and “ice-melting” trip the two made “Sino-Japanese joint communique” between the two countries established a strategic relationship of mutual benefit. In 2008, Chinese President Hu Jintao’s visit to Japan, the two sides signed the “Sino-Japanese strategic and mutually beneficial relationship forward on a comprehensive joint statement,” Sino-Japanese relations to a new starting point.

In less than two months ago, the Sino-Japanese East China Sea gas fields just beginning to negotiate development issues. Although the two sides as early as in 2008, the negotiations had reached an agreement, but shelved for two years before opening talks. Therefore, the negotiations have caused high expectations for the Japanese media and civil society; in less than a month ago, in just the third time at high-level economic dialogue and cooperation documents were signed 7.

However, the original full-speed forward bilateral relations, as Japan on the Diaoyu Islands issue of provocation and rapid braking.

Japan will bear the economic loss

China’s economic level, some counter-measures, estimated to also make some Japanese “pain.”

Tsinghua University, Liu Jiangyong Japanese experts told “World News” interview, pointed out that Japan is to promote economic recovery and jobs, increasing exports to China and attract Chinese tourists is essential, in such circumstances to take a tough stance Japan will only suffer. In addition, the Japanese government is currently deep in debt, once the deterioration of bilateral relations, Japan is bound to further strengthen the arms, raise the military budget, livelihood and employment for the financial expenditure will be subject to any restrictions and impact on Japan’s long-term development is clearly negative.

China is now Japan’s largest trading partner and largest export market. In 2009, bilateral trade volume hit by the financial crisis, the case of negative growth, still reached 228.8 billion U.S. dollars. Tang Chunfeng Chinese scholars estimate that nearly 10 million businesses in Japan depends mainly on the Chinese market survival, Japan’s dependence on the Chinese market more than on the European and American economies, roughly estimated at more than 40%. On the other hand, Japan has been China’s demand for a large variety of resources, such as China to reduce or limit resource exports to Japan, Japan will face further financial difficulties.

Coal, for example, Japan imported from China each year to be a lot of coal, coal integrated in the meetings are held at once. Since 1980, the coal supply contract between China and Japan for a longer every 5 years, the current 5-year contract will expire in a few months, now is the Chinese and Japanese long-term coal companies a new round of consultations The key point supply contract. Insiders disclosed that, under the new agreement, starting in 2011 China will supply to Japan each year from four million to six million tons coal. Specific export quotas and export prices would have been scheduled for September 28 in Okinawa, Japan, held at the Japan meeting on integrated coal finalized, but now everything has become uncertain.

At the government level to counter the Japanese, while contacts between the two countries based on mutual trust – non-governmental exchanges rapidly cooling. At present, many websites have emerged to Japan called on China to boycott Japanese goods in the post travel and purchasing. It is understood that the collision occurred, the scale of Chinese citizens traveling to Japan has been seriously affected. Recently, China announced the cancellation of Po Kin Group of people living in Japan in October program on the reduction of the Hong Kong citizens traveling to Japan. This is undoubtedly the Japanese tourism industry is a blow.

It is reported that China’s per capita consumption of tourists to Japan up to 78,000 yen (100 yen about 7.9 yuan), much higher than the 27,000 Americans, 47,000 Japanese yen and the French, Japanese yen, the Japanese tourism industry has become a major consumer groups. After the ruling Democratic Party of Japan has been vigorously VJC policy and hopes to Chinese tourists from the current about 100 million people, 6 to 600 million years later.

Unpredictable consequences for Sino-Japanese friction

China, Japan, the series of provocations and counter-measures, making the Sino-Japanese political and economic to the civil aspects of the results accumulated over the years is gradually wither. As the East Asian Institute National University of Singapore Cheng Yung years pointed out, the behavior of the Japanese long-term interests of its useless, because Japan’s economic recovery without China.

Now, Japan seems to have finally some sit still. According to Japanese media reports, the Japanese government is studying how to restore relations with China as soon as possible countermeasures. Japan, a member of Congress, said: “The time is not much left for us, we must in APEC (APEC) Conference, to ease relations with China.” This shows that Japan hopes to ease 11 months ago with China relations because Japan concerned about China’s leaders may not attend the APEC meeting held in Yokohama, Japan, or shorten the meeting time and date to cancel a series of ministerial-level dialogue, which outcome would be greatly reduced.

However, Hong Kong, “Sing Tao Daily” website on the 20th of an article that the Japanese attitude of this is stronger than ever, but involved the sovereignty issue, China has no room to maneuver, how to resolve the incident, is difficult to predict . The article also cited the new Japanese Yen, vice president of Overseas Chinese security as saying: “Sino-Japanese relations contradictions from the past visits to the Yasukuni Shrine as the history of ethics dispute pan, transfer to the practical significance of territorial sovereignty dispute. “Deputy Secretary-General of China Society of Military Science, Major General Luo is also expected in Japan this tit for tat, with unforeseeable consequences.

Type 10 main battle tanks in Japan as the world’s lightest new main battle tank

Jul 21

Posted by admin in Japan, Weapons | Comments off

July 11, Japan 10-type main battle tanks (TK-X has been named the tank) in the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force conducted a mobility Fuji school show. The main battle tank is a new generation of Japan’s GSDF armored combat platforms, this program small batch equipment 10. Japan Chaoyun news agency Web site (Japan Defense Agency and the SDF, a “asakumo” newspaper Web site) also has 10 tanks in the performance of some detailed interpretation that the smaller, lighter, and yet sophisticated.

Performance art and light tanks

10 tanks controlled by the members of the Group 3 luxury cars, body length 9.42 m, 2.3 m high, wide and 3.24 m, weight 44 tons, more than 90 tanks predecessors smaller, lighter. In the fire, the tank’s turret 10 is equipped with a 120-mm smoothbore gun, a M2HB type machine gun and one 12.7 mm 74 7.62 mm light machine guns. Turret is also equipped with “drivers with independent and observation tower”, this equipment can be directly captured enemy targets, and the screen showed the turret, the gunner need only one click Control Panel, you can hit the target. In addition, the tank also has the C4I (command, control, communications, computer and information integration) capabilities can be integrated into the command of the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Network, with other tanks and other battlefield intelligence units to share.

Chaoyun News Agency published on the website photos show that 10 tank turret and the body shape better use of bullet-proof armor inclination, which is square-shaped turret 90 tanks in sharp contrast. According to Western media, the 10 tanks are also all over the high-tech armor, modular ceramic composite armor, “Nano – Crystal” plates and 10 light armored tank top was not only lightweight and sturdy enough to wear a “bullet-proof jacket.” Shows that, after decades of foreign advanced design of the reference and trial and error, the Japanese finally create a good performance out of a light car.

Can meet the “extraordinary threat”

Japan’s Ground Self-Defense had studied under the U.S. military, armored forces in building too. During the Cold War, the Japanese Defense Force is the main armored forces deployed in the northern region in preparation for the former Soviet Union, once a large-scale landing armored units, as a desperate last-ditch counterattack force.

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, from the north, the pressure drop, but the Japanese former Soviet T-62, T-72 tanks and 90 research and development for the imaginary enemy has begun mass production of tanks and troops. Weight 50 tons of 90 tanks is not only expensive but also very limited upgrade potential, from the production has almost not been a big improvement. It is in this case, Japan was determined to develop a new tank, as the Defense Force, “fist equipment.”

In the 21st century, the Japanese began sending troops overseas to enhance the international influence, in order to achieve its great power aspirations. After the outbreak of the Iraq war, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces to the more stable areas in southern Iraq sent a force, which is only equipped with a number of “Komatsu” 4 × 4 wheeled light armored vehicles, this car is equipped with semi-open style turrets and 12.7 mm machine gun, suitable for low-intensity conflict in the patrol.

Although Japan eventually withdrew from Iraq, but the pace of troops overseas but not stop. Once the high risk involved in an unconventional war, there is likely to face roadside bombs and rocket-propelled grenades and other weapons of great power threat, but can not afford to deal with light wheeled vehicles, 90 tanks are too bulky and inconvenient transportation, then I am afraid To turn light weight, fire Meng 10 tanks had been deployed.

Japan 22DDH is a serious threat to China’s submarine

Jul 6

Posted by admin in Asia, China, Japan | Comments off

Why does Japan have repeatedly Qingli large deck type ship built? Does this mean that Japan’s defeat in World War II aircraft carrier again after the recovery of their dreams?

Recently, the Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force agreed that the third ship “helicopter destroyers” will be the relative size and capacity have been served “on the” class helicopter carrier, a major improvement. New 22DDH ship more than 24,000 tons displacement, which makes it almost more than 16DDH “day to” level the size of the helicopter carrier is 50%, so difficult to use the “destroyer” to refer to those ships. Taking into account the size of ship, with the United States during World War II, “Essex” class aircraft carrier in comparison. Why is Japan again Qing Li built a large deck type ship? Does this mean that Japan’s defeat in World War II aircraft carrier again after the recovery of their dreams?

Carrier after another big ship

In 22DDH helicopter carrier, Japan had a continuous manufacturing and service the two types of large ships through the deck, which is known for long, “Osumi”-class landing ship and helicopter transport 16DDH “on the” class helicopter destroyer.

In service since 1998 “Dayu” class landing ship helicopter transport links with all the deck starboard island structure, the standard displacement reached 8,900 tons, Captain 178 meters long, and nearly 26 meters wide, can carry 1,000 Marines, 16 CH -47 heavy-duty helicopters, 10 Type 90 main battle tanks and 1,400 tons of material, two large air-cushion landing craft. Although the Japanese to “Dayu” level as the transport landing craft, they have deliberately conceal class aircraft carrier combat. But it was through type flight deck and aft deck structure can be proved beyond the normal landing craft ship capacity, the potential function of an aircraft carrier, is “quasi-carrier.” “Dayu” class landing ship transport aircraft carrier in Japan has really laid the foundation for a number of militarists in Japan that “Dayu” number service, marking the Japanese aircraft carrier of the comeback. “Dayu” class landing ship transport service, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Forces are not satisfied with such a “quasi carriers,” starts on a new aircraft carrier.

In 2004, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force began building 16DDH “on the” class “helicopter escort.” The first ship “on the” number, in August 2007 and launched service in March 2009. Second ship “Ise” was also launched in August 2009, is expected to serve in 2012. The ship deck using all-pass starboard island structure, the standard displacement of 13,500 tons, can carry up to a total of 11 helicopters of various types, can be parked on the flight deck 4, hangar seven, while allowing four helicopters can take off and land. Although the Japanese call it “helicopter escort,” but ship is fully equipped to be a light aircraft carrier with all the features, according to NATO standards is actually a helicopter carrier.

Japan’s Maritime Self-Defense Forces “day to” was launched when the helicopter destroyer had the U.S. media exclaimed: “This is the first one in Japan after World War II aircraft carrier.” Many military experts also believe that “day to” was able to slightly improve the carrier’s new faces join the ranks of Japan’s Self-Defense Forces. But the United States, “Defense News” quoted the Tokyo Institute of peace and security, the President as saying, “The new helicopter destroyer deck is too thin, F-35 can not withstand the pressure of landing.” Helicopter carrier that has a 195 m long straight flight deck, can withstand 33 tons of large-scale helicopter transport MH-53E “Sea Dragon” movements.

For the construction of the new 22DDH Japanese helicopter aircraft carrier, the superstructure and the “day to” class helicopter carrier, similar to the difference is surrounded by 01 deck extension, deck area increased by nearly one-third of the total, can be large enough to accommodate vertical launch air defense missile system. And “day to” class helicopter carrier, the new ship’s point defense capability beyond its double, which is equipped with four MK15 “Phalanx” The gun and two “Ram” short-range defense system launchers, The “day to” level is only equipped with two “Phalanx” The gun.

Japanese financial project that, 22DDH dramatic increase in ship size design one of the reasons is that Japan plans to V-22 “Osprey” tilt-rotor aircraft as a major air forces of these ships. In addition, 22DDH ship’s design also includes consideration of operating unmanned aerial vehicles.

Anti-submarine helicopter carrier lies

Since the post-war Japanese economy recovered from the post, began to wait for an opportunity to seek revival of its aircraft carriers Dream, “Day to the” issue of the construction of aircraft carriers is the first step put the plan into action. More military experts believe that as long as Japan are US-made F-35B Short / vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, immediately will be able to “day to” was converted into a real aircraft carrier. Moreover, as long as the time is ripe, “Japan to” level and “Dayu” level can be in the “converted into an aircraft carrier within two months” to form a new carrier battle group. Military strategy experts pointed out that the future development of the Japanese aircraft carrier program, and the United States is not without relevance. 50′s of last century, the Korean War with the United States of support and opportunity, the Japanese took the opportunity to “revive” its own military forces. However, the U.S. has no intention to build a Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force to undertake operational tasks independently powerful sea power, but to as a “small attendant.”

So, the construction of so many big Japanese navy helicopter carrying capacity with a strong surface ships, is for what? The answer is: the implementation of ocean-going anti-submarine mission. Soviet hegemony in the Cold War era Soviet submarine fleet in order to prevent conflict into the Pacific, the Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force in the United States, Japan anti-Soviet Union, to carry the heavy anti-submarine pioneers. After the Cold War, the Russian Pacific Fleet, shrinking, growing Japanese patrol area will be expanded to the South China Sea, the strategic task to contain China’s submarine into the ocean. Japanese shore-based anti-submarine combat radius is limited, so the helicopter carrier have come into being, “Dayu” class helicopter carrying a total of four, 16DDH can carry 11 helicopters, 22DDH will carry at least 14 helicopters, mainly SH-60K “Hawk” anti-submarine helicopters, as the fleet’s flagship ocean anti-submarine warfare, to join the existing fleet of “19″ fleet, may be anti-submarine combat capability to double to cover the area have increased several times.

Japanese prefer to give these helicopters contains a selection of the V-22 “Osprey” tilt-rotor aircraft, a model for the SV-22 anti-submarine model, the model is the U.S. Navy plans to replace the S-3 “pirate” ship-borne anti-submarine aircraft general aircraft type. Reached its maximum combat radius of 1205 km. SV-22 will be equipped with hanging sonar, magnetic anomaly detectors, sonar buoys and Mk-50 anti-submarine torpedoes. As the V-22 “Osprey” aircraft superior short-range vertical takeoff and landing performance, so that it can carry anti-submarine equipment, more and more comprehensive, and therefore a greater range of anti-submarine capabilities and patrolling. As the world’s second-largest anti-submarine power of Japan, this would have more than 100 fixed-wing aircraft of advanced anti-submarine patrol aircraft, plus “19″ Fleet-class anti-submarine capabilities, and then join the group if the helicopter carrier’s carrier aircraft, That is really an even more powerful of Japan’s maritime anti-submarine warfare.

Break the bottom line deterrence neighbors

The construction of aircraft carriers in Japan as the biggest obstacle to peace in the Constitution from the domestic constraints, followed by the United States can not allow Japan to build a large attack aircraft carriers, is another who has suffered from Japanese aggression in Asia over the country will not allow Japan to build a real aircraft carrier. But also see the world, though Japan’s pacifist constitution limits have realized they still sending troops overseas, Self-Defense Force ships are openly patrolling in the Gulf of Aden and began to build Zhubo base, also to upgrade the Defense Agency Ministry of Defense and so on. Driven by this trend, if one day, tear up the constitution of Japan, a large-scale production of attack aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines and intercontinental ballistic missiles, is also very possible. Particularly in the current U.S. military rising because of China, worried about the destruction of their Western Pacific strategic balance of Hua, the Keneng to open one eye close one eye to the default strategy of self-Fa Zhan Japanese aircraft carrier force, in particular for the parent type is 22DDH improve the most likely to attack aircraft carriers. This occurs when the sovereignty dispute between China and Japan, the Chinese navy’s submarine force as a large number of in wartime combat forces out of the first island chain, Japan’s powerful anti-submarine force will face checks and balances. Japanese construction 16DDH and 22DDH helicopter carrier on the Chinese Navy submarine force will be the threat of death.

Whether the construction of these vessels in Japan What is the purpose, but you can believe that neighboring countries will not stand idly by: Japan to improve the anti-submarine capabilities and remote combat capabilities, countries would have hidden under the capital increase and the submarine offensive, South Korea and other countries GM will build a more active type deck landing ship and related marine ships, South Korea’s “Dokdo” was obvious examples.

The Japanese both cunning and clever, while in calling for the “aircraft carrier China threat” theory, it already started building his own hands while the aircraft carrier battle groups, and possession of a large head and hide my face to call the helicopter destroyer. At this point, even the United States, Russia have been the calculation of the Japanese “sneak” to deceived. Japan defeated the old, will be inadvertently carrier power, and become a threat to neighboring Asian countries, a strong naval force.
