China always had a thirst to expand its country. The communist country created problems to many of the neighbouring countries which includes the encounter of Japan islands this April. China sent 67 ships to island named Senkaku which is located in the territory of East China sea.
China claims the island to be its own. No one knows what China could do by expanding its geographical area. The island is uninhabited and worthless and still China is intrested and claiming it’s authority. Interestingly island has two names in two countries. It is called a Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyus in China. If Japan reacts then it would lead to a greatest battle that earth had ever witnessed. Washington is obligated to protect Japan and it’s territories due to a treaty between both the countries. The play will become far more worse with the involvement of United States.
East China sea has wide range of marketing expansion and China wanted a use of it and trying to claim the position in order to obtain it. Japan had rights over the island since 1972 and the island has been a part of Japan. Now China tries to claim it and has sent 67 ships. Japan coast guard found Chinese government ships in Eas China sea and it created a huge tension across the globe with already existing tension.
‘The Senkaku Islands are under our control and are unquestionably our territory historically and under international law. It is extremely serious that these activities continue. We will respond to the Chinese side firmly and calmly,” Yoshihide Suga, Japan’s chief cabinet secretary, said on Wednesday (June 17).
“The Chinese Foreign Ministry said similar sentiments about the islands “The Diaoyu Island and its affiliated islands are an inherent part of China’s territory, and it is our inherent right to carry out patrols and law enforcement activities in these waters.”
Tensions over the rocky chain, 1,200 miles (1,900 kilometers) southwest of Tokyo, have simmered for years, and with claims over them dating back hundreds of years, neither Japan nor China is likely to back down over territory considered a national birthright in both capitals. If China declares a war, then it’s a war with America, and again apparently, its a war with all those European nations who are allied with the Americans under the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (the NATO). Yes, China is a damn strong country, but being factored by the United States of America having the strongest military, and the other Western European countries having their military powers among the top ten (like Britain and France alone), would be a bummer for China.
On the contrary, Chinese has more options and even some major defeats will not totally destroy them, means they can afford to lose. Such advantage might turn out as an disadvantage at war. They has no experience at naval war and modern warfare. Even at the land, they more rely on their numbers. I can’t imagine how can Chinese land force able to defeat same number of Japanese land force.It is not hard to imagine, Japan able to bring major below to Chinese army at sea and even at land. But China could drag Japan into an endless conflict
