PLA navy sea strut a heads-up for next month's Japan-US military drill
So suggests Global Times, as China Daily accuses Japan of overreacting.
"It should be pointed out that Japan in recent days sent military aircraft to the waters around the Diaoyu Islands, severely infringing on China's sovereignty and interests," said China's Ministry of Defense Tuesday amid questions why seven of the country's warships passed through international waters just 200 kilometres from the disputed Diaoyu Islands.
The Ministry spokesperson said the ships were returning from a training exercise, having passed along the same route on October 4.
The Communist Party's Global Times newspaper offered a bit more nuance with an article early this morning that ties yesterday's sea drama, which also coincided with the arrival of US Deputy Secretary of State William Burns' arrival in Beijing, to a US-Japan military drill to simulate the recapture of an island scheduled for early November:
China said Wednesday it will keep a close watch on a reportedly planned US-Japan military drill simulating the recapture of an island, amid the China-Japan dispute over the Diaoyu Islands, calling on Tokyo and Washington to do more for regional peace and stability.
Meanwhile, US Deputy Secretary of State Bill Burns arrived in China late Tuesday for a two-day visit after his trip to Japan.
[...]
Safeguarding peace, stability and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region serves the interests of all relevant parties and any move to deliberately push military or security agendas or strain regional tensions will not help improve security trust in the region, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei told reporters at a regular press briefing in Beijing.

Along the way, Foxconn has become a means for self-loathing Apple owners to flagellate themselves—and maybe even a knife the U.S. government can twist to destabilize the Chinese Communist Party.

Is it not glaringly obvious that the conventional approach towards extractive industry at least in Zambia has lamentably failed?
