Defense White Paper for 2017
Japan published a defense white paper for 2017 on Tuesday.
It made sound remarks on China's national defense system and
China's impolite and rude maritime activities in the East and
South China Seas.
Many people in Asia knows that China has been constructing
artificial islands in the South China Sea and it is illegal, and
China has been building military facilities on the artificial islands,
and it is not straight. All of the countries of the region have accused
China.
The U.S. warned that the U.S. will not look the other way when
nations such as China try to restrict navigation or ignore inter-
national rules and standards. The U.S. said, ”China's territorial
claims in the South China Sea are destabilizing the region, and
its failure to resolve disputes with other nations threatens East
Asia's long-term progress. The U.S. will oppose any nation's use of
intimidation or threat of force to assert territorial claims.”
Why is China so impolite? Why does China repeat illegal acts
so many times? Is it a national character of Chinese people? Or is
it simply the responsibility of the central government?
What do you think?
