Chinese aircraft carrier practices attack to target Japan's Nansei Island -

Beijing: Upset over Japan’s aggressive changes in its defence policy, China directly warned Japan by conducting a war exercise. China’s aircraft carrier has launched an exercise targeting Japan’s Nansei island in the Western Pacific region. Analysts say that China has threatened to attack Japanese islands in the region if Japan tries to challenge China militarily.

Last week, the Japanese Prime Minister made three important and aggressive changes to Japan’s defence policy. Accordingly, Japan’s defence spending was greatly increased. Japan has also made a separate provision for producing missiles capable of hitting China directly. At the same time, Japan also mentioned Taiwan in its defence policy. The Japanese media has claimed that China has been rattled by this major change in Japan’s defence policy.

Chinese President Xi Jinping ordered the People’s Liberation Army to start an exercise near Japan’s Nansei Island. At the end of each year, China’s army and navy demonstrate their military preparedness by organizing exercises. But the Japanese media are pointing out that this time the place and time of these exercises have been suggested by President Jinping. This time, China’s Liaoning, an aircraft carrier, with the help of its destroyers, practised surrounding and attacking Nansei Island.

The 10-day exercise is underway at a distance from Nansei Island and will conclude on Monday, December 26. But it is claimed that China has warned Japan through this exercise. Nansei Island, located some distance from Taiwan’s maritime territory, is under the Japanese administration. Japan had already announced deployments for the islands’ security, given the threat to Taiwan’s security from China.
