Yoshihiko Yamada, a professor of maritime policy at Tokai University and an expert on maritime defense, said, "This is a provocation to Japan.By drawing attention from around the world, it is probably intended to draw attention to the fact that the Senkakus are China's waters.The Japan Coast Guard and police should quietly enforce the law by, for example, capturing the Chinese fishing fleet if it is found to be engaged in illegal activities, in accordance with Japan's domestic laws.However, there is also a sense that the Chinese fishing boats are trying to force the JCG's patrol boats to collide with them.There is a possibility that restrictions may be imposed on the response," he said.
With a leading U.S. think tank drawing attention to the presence of "pro-China groups" in Japan in an investigative report, the commander of U.S. forces in Japan, Kevin Schneider, said at an online press conference on July 29 that he would "support Japan's response as an ally" and "100%" in pointing out the possibility of a mass incursion by the Chinese fishing fleet into the area around the Senkaku Islands.We will faithfully defend them.
Sato, the aforementioned Sato, said, "In order not to give China a chance to take advantage of the situation, it is a good idea to show that Japan and the United States are taking a strong stance in dealing with the situation by saying, 'The Maritime Self-Defense Force and the U.S. Navy have held a meeting on the Senkaku Islands,' and 'Japan and the United States have begun discussing the nature of the U.S. bombing range on Kuba Island and Taisho Island.In the skies above, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force's maritime patrol aircraft and the Air Self-Defense Force's early-warning aircraft will be flown in to monitor the situation.The 'propaganda war' against China is an essential part of our nation's preparedness," he said.
