(32.78) Japan is sending warships to the South China Sea
Japan will send large warships to helicopters in the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean. The country is taking this step as part of increasing its presence in strategic marine territories through annual travel. The warship will start its two-month journey in September. The British news agency, Reuters, cited two Japanese officials.
Japan is increasing presence in the South China Sea and China's military presence in the Indian Ocean as the manifestation of Japan and US concerns. The important trade routes of Japan and the United States are in that region. Last year also they sent a warship to the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean.
"It is being done as a part of Japan's efforts to support an independent and open Indo-Pacific region," said an official directly involved in ship-planning. The sources, who are unhappy about the name, also said that a helicopter can fly at a distance of 248 meters from the cage called Kagawa. The ship will stop in some Southeast Asian countries, including Indonesia. The ship will also stop the port of India and Sri Lanka.
Most of the South China Sea claims China They set up a military base by creating artificial islands in the sea. However, China has been claiming it is for peaceful purposes. Besides, China has strengthened the naval operation in the Indian Ocean. The United States maintains regular flights and naval patrols in the South China Sea, to ensure naval movement is free. In May, the United States changed its name to 'Pacific Command Headquarters' in Hawaii by keeping the 'Indo-Pacific Command'. This has been done as an indication of the greater regional tactics of Japan and Australia from the West Pacific to the Indian Ocean. Japan did not participate in the free movement of the United States in the South China Sea. Because it can provoke China to increase military presence in the West China Sea. There is a dispute between Japan's Senkaku and China's Diaoyu Islands.
Japanese officials said there will also be a guard ship with the military ship Kagda. The ship can also participate in military exercises along with the warships of other countries in this region. But a spokesman for Japan's defense forces said he would not be able to comment on future events.
US Secretary of State Jim Matthews visited China last month, with doubts about the rising tensions on trade and the US objective towards Taiwan's autonomy. At that time, China's President Xi Jinping told him, 'We will not give us an inch apart. At the same time, we will not occupy any smaller parts of the other. "He said the Pacific Ocean is so big that both the United States and China can enjoy its benefits. In this situation, Japan is sending military ships to the sea.
Malaysia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Brunei also claim ownership of South China Sea parts. There are plenty of fish in the sea, as well as oil and gas mines. Taiwan also claims ownership of some parts of the sea. However, Japan does not claim any part of it there.
Tensions between China and India increased suddenly in the Indian Ocean due to the growing presence in China in the Maldives. The country has long been associated with India on political and security issues, but recently joined the Belt and Road initiative in China. As a result, China is working to improve trade and communications in the Maldives. As a result, China's position in the country is strong. Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe Government has amended the constitution after the war, to play an increasing role in the exciting region. According to the constitution, Japan had limited restrictions on sending warships, aircraft or army to foreign operations.
The Kaga warship is just as big as the ship used by Japanese Imperial Navy during World War II. It is designed to be kept in the constitutional prohibition. The ship was inaugurated in March last year in the Kuurna Base in western Japan. For the first time the ship took part in the anti-submarine operation. During this time, the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean are expected to accompany the Osmani as an assistant ship with the ship.
