This article criticizes China’s hardline maritime expansion, citing the intrusion of a Chinese survey vessel into Vietnam’s exclusive economic zone during the coronavirus crisis. It argues that the liberal world must stand united against potential threats to Taiwan, the Senkaku Islands, and the South China Sea.

This article, together with the article in the photograph below, vividly proves that China is a country of “bottomless evil” and “plausible lies.”
The following is from an article published in the Sankei Shimbun on April 18.
This article, together with the article in the photograph below, vividly proves that China is a country of “bottomless evil” and “plausible lies.”
At the same time, it also proves that my essay, which I republished on April 14 under the title, “In other words, your opponent is not Taiwan. All the nations of the liberal camp are your opponent. If you still intend to do it, then come on,” was entirely correct.
The opening part is omitted.
However, at such a time, there is something for which the world must absolutely be prepared.
When Xi Jinping judges that he has no more moves left and that he has been cornered, there is a strong possibility that, before deciding to step down from power himself, he will launch an invasion of Taiwan or an invasion of the Senkaku Islands in order to divert criticism from the people.
At that time, the world must speak to Xi Jinping in one voice.
There is a strong possibility that Italy will not come along, but there is no choice but to leave alone a country that has fallen into such foolishness.
The countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative are, after all, nothing more than a collection of junk, and therefore are irrelevant.
If you say you will invade Taiwan, your opponent is not Taiwan.
All of us in the world will fight against you.
In other words, your opponent is not Taiwan.
All the nations of the liberal camp are your opponent.
If you still intend to do it, then come on.
The soldiers on our side are different from the people of your country, who merely wear the cap of communism in form alone and who, in truth, possess no loyalty to the state, being nothing more than gatherings of clans and relatives.
They are citizens who will gladly die for the countries they love.
Perhaps the foolish you cannot understand that not one of your country’s soldiers has any such concept as a beloved country.
The moment our world army and your country’s army open hostilities, the majority of your country’s soldiers will run away.
No.
Before that, you will be purged.
Precisely because you know that this is the normal state of one-party Communist dictatorship, you must be a coward.
There is not even one chance in ten thousand that you can win against the world.
To begin with, you are nothing but a naked king, and no human beings with decent intelligence take you seriously.
A handful of people who call black white and rule the people only through propaganda and fear.
Even those people do not believe in their own country, and they place their children and their assets in our world, beginning with the United States.
There is only one path that the Chinese people must now take in order to atone to humanity.
If the Chinese people accomplish that, the world will probably not demand an enormous amount of compensation.
That is because our world, completely unlike China and the Korean Peninsula, is not a world built upon bottomless evil and plausible lies.
However, if the people of China do nothing, then the world must begin calculating the damages now, so that as soon as the pandemic caused by the Wuhan virus comes to an end, each country will be able to demand from China compensation for the enormous damage it has suffered.
Let me give an extremely useful reference example.
China buried its own poison gas weapons, fabricated the story that it was the work of the Japanese army, and extorted one trillion yen from Japan in this one case alone.
The Nanjing Massacre, Unit 731, the exploitation of mistaken reports concerning history textbooks, and so on.
All told, the amount cannot be less than ten trillion yen.
The damage that the world is suffering this time is not fabrication or anything of the kind.
It is an undeniable fact that the whole world is watching and suffering from day after day.
It goes without saying that the amount to be demanded from China will be several times, or several tens of times, the amount they extorted from Japan through fabrication.
Chinese Vessel in Vietnam’s EEZ; Caution over Hardline Posture in the South China Sea
“Singapore — Hiroshi Mori”
It has become clear that a Chinese maritime survey vessel entered Vietnam’s exclusive economic zone, or EEZ, on the 14th, and Vietnam is intensifying its vigilance.
On the 16th, it appears to have moved into waters near Malaysia and Brunei.
The seabed of the South China Sea is believed to contain abundant natural resources, including oil fields and natural gas fields, but surveys have barely progressed.
Even amid the spread of the novel coronavirus, China’s hardline posture of maritime expansion has been made clear.
With infections of the novel coronavirus spreading aboard a U.S. aircraft carrier and a decline in immediate response capability being pointed out, China appears to have taken advantage of the opening.
According to Reuters and other sources, the Chinese maritime survey vessel Haiyang Dizhi 8 was confirmed on the 14th at a point 158 kilometers from the coast of Vietnam.
Vietnam’s Foreign Ministry objected in a statement, saying that it “requires all countries to comply with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and the relevant provisions of international law.”
Regarding China and Vietnam, on April 2, near the Paracel Islands in the South China Sea, called Xisha by China, a vessel of the China Coast Guard rammed a Vietnamese fishing boat and caused it to sink.
In addition to the Vietnamese government, the United States and the Philippines also criticized China.
Chinese survey vessels also conducted seabed surveys and other activities in the South China Sea last year.
