Japan's provocative actions on the Ukraine issue are truly incredible. At a time when the situation in Ukraine is gradually cooling down, Japan has chosen to intensify its contradictions with Russia at this sensitive time. According to reports, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs published a sanctions list, announcing sanctions against 35 Russian individuals and freezing their assets. In addition, Japan announced that it will impose new sanctions on 57 Russian entities. These initiatives are in:Ukrainian crisisThe background of being temporarily relieved is particularly abrupt and violatedThe international communityfor reliefUkrainian crisisThe original intention of joint efforts has also caused great trouble to Russia.
However, Russia and China responded quickly and forcefully, pushing back against Japan's provocations without mercy. Russian Deputy Prime Minister and Plenipotentiary Representative to the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnev said after talks with China that the Russian side has implemented more than two dozen projects in the South Kuril Islands and hopes to jointly develop the region with China. This statement clearly sends a message to Japan that the development and sovereignty of the South Kuril Islands belong to Russia, and it is a heavy blow to Japan.
China and RussiaCooperation in the development of the South Kuril Islands is an important opportunity for China. The area is rich in fisheries and minerals and has great potential. China and RussiaCooperative development will help enhance China's economic strength and resource security capacity. For Russia, cooperation with China is also an option to both develop the resources of the South Kuril Islands and further consolidate themChina and RussiaCooperative relationship between the two countries.
However, Japan is facing a grim situation. Japan, as a claimant to the South Kuril Islands, has not been able to sign a peace treaty with Russia. According toWorld War IIAs a result, the South Kuril Islands have been incorporatedUSSRterritory, Russia has indisputable sovereignty. Japan, on the other hand, demanded that Russia return four of the South Kuril Islands on the basis of the bilateral ** border treaty signed in 1855Islands。However, Russia is resolute about this, which they believe according to the currentInternationalFrance, the South Kuril Islands belong to the territory of Russia. Therefore, the implementation of the development plan by the Russian side is tantamount to warning and urging Japan to return sovereignty over the South Kuril Islands to Russia.
Russia's tough counterattack has an important deterrent effect on Japan. Japan's provocation is in essence disrespectful and threatening to Russia, but Russia will not be at its mercy. On the contrary, Russia has chosen to cooperate with China in the development of the South Kuril Islands, aimed at preserving its territorial sovereignty. Through cooperation with China, Russia sent a clear message to Japan that cooperation in the development of the South Kuril Islands will be carried out within the framework of Russian sovereignty. This kind of tough counterattack not only bothered Japan, but also towardsThe international communityIt demonstrates Russia's resolute position in defending its territorial sovereignty.
On this issue, I think that Japan's provocative actions are unwise. InUkrainian crisisThere is some relief in the caseThe international communityEfforts are being made to de-escalate the situation and resolve it peacefully. However, Japan has chosen actions contrary to this trend and launched a provocation against Russia. Such behavior not only poses a risk to regional security and stability, but also does not conform to itThe international communityA common voice for a peaceful settlement of the Ukrainian issue.
In addition, I also consider Russian-Chinese cooperation in the development of the South Kuril Islands a pragmatic option. InInternationalRelations in which cooperation and friendly dialogue between countries are problem-solvingCritical。Cooperation between Russia and China will not only help both sides achieve mutual benefit and win-win results, but also contribute to regional peace and stability. In this way, Russia sends a clear message to Japan that territorial issues need to be resolved through peaceful dialogue, and not through provocations and sanctions.
All in all, Japan's provocative actions have brought tension and instability to the region. The tough counterattack of Russia and China sends a clear message to Japan that the South Kuril Islands are Russian territory and their development is inseparable from sovereignty. AsThe international communityJapan should be more rational and pragmatic in dealing with the issue of territorial disputes, and seek solutions through peaceful dialogue, rather than resorting to provocations and sanctions. It is only through peace, stability and cooperation that the region can achieve true prosperity and development.
