Around Senkaku Islands Sept.1: Mr. Shindo Reports on Chinese Intrusion

 

 

 

Below is a provisional translation of the blog post published by Mr. Yoshitaka Shindo, a member of the House of Representatives, Japan's National Diet and a member of the Liberal Democratic Party.

Mr. Yoshitaka Shindo reports on Chinese intrusion into Japan's territorial waters near Senkaku Islands in his blog post:

I have uploaded a video recorded on August 24  when two Chinese Fisheries Patrol vessels intruded into Japan's territorial waters near Senkaku Islands, which I requested the Government (of Japan) to make available to the public at the Special Committee on Japan's Territories held on August 25.

The Chinese Fisheries Patrol vessel has never penetrated into Japanese territorial waters before. It is confirmed that the Patrol vessels are equipped with electronic message boards installed on both sides of bridges.

In response to the warning to leave Japan's territorial waters made by the Japan Coast Guard ships, the Chinese Fisheries Patrol vessel indicated a message "We are carrying out our official duty in accordance with our laws. Uotsurijima and its adjacent islands are an integral part of the Chinese territory. " on an electric message board and at the same time sent it by radio.

Around Senkaku Islands

 

 

 

At around 6:15 on August 24, the Japan Coast Guard ship sighted two Chinese Fisheries Patrol vessels at contiguous zone close to Japan's territorial waters and then entering Japan's territorial waters at 6:35. The 11th Regional Coast Guard Headquarters warned them not to penetrate into Japan's territorial waters and told them to leave immediately.

Either one of the Chinese vessels responded to the Japan Coast Guard that we were carrying out our official duty at the Chinese territorial waters in accordance with our laws.  Although they left Japan's territorial waters at around 7:10, they entered again and left in seven minutes.

Prime Minster Kan has been much grilled over his poor diplomacy as the recent moves made by Russia, China, and even South Korea indicate that Prime Minister Kan has sent a wrong message to them while Japan and her people have totally objected their moves in relation to Japan's northern territories still illegally occupied by Russia.

Chinese Bullet Train Accident

A Japanese newspaper reports that Propaganda Department of the Communist Party of China sent out a notice requesting that Chinese domestic media refrain from reporting on the Chinese bullet train accident at their own discretion. Railway Ministry spokesman said late last night that death toll is 35 but not 43, modifying a report made by State-run Xinhua News Agency,which reported 8 more deaths in addition to the 35 dead earlier reported.

One TV news hinted that they may not look into a true cause of the accident and may resume bullet train operations sooner than most of the people think. TV news even said that there is a rumor saying Chinese authorities are burying the wrecked trains at crash site. The fact that no foreign reporters have been allowed to come close to the site suggests that they are trying to conceal something down there.

 

 

South Korea lies about its past

@perfumekawaee tweets South Korea lies about its past by saying that South Korea has never participated in wars at all. South Korea was a part of Japan, meaning no question that South Koreans fought as Japanese soldiers as they were Japanese citizens. Koreans who experienced 1,000 years of oppression by China were so willing to become Japanese and were highly motivated to fight for Japan since Japan was stronger than China and Russia. Koreans fought as Mongolian soldiers (a few Mongolian commanders and many Korean soldiers) when Mongolia tried to invade Japan. South Koreans executed atrocities in Vietnam during Vietnam war.

Chinese Trawler Captain to be Indicted

Committee for the Inquest of Prosecution in Naha, Okinawa finalized its decision on June 20 that Chinese trawler captain who rammed the Japan Coast Guard vessels last September in Japan's territorial waters near Senkaku Islands should be indicted over destruction of the vessels and illegal fishing due to the reason sufficient enough to suspect that those crimes have been committed by him.

In compliance with the decision made by the Committee, Naha Prosecutors Office will re-investigate the case. However, it hinted that a letter of indictment would not reach the suspect.

The decision made based on the fact that not only he repeatedly violated fishing laws and regulations but also he maliciously rammed the Japanese vessels, points out that the Chinese trawler captain has neither expressed his apology for wrongdoing nor compensated for the damage he should assume responsibility
