Lin Jian, a spokesman for the Chinese foreign ministry, accused NATO of “breaching its boundary, expanding its mandate, reaching beyond its defense zone and stoking confrontation.”

This is what China is doing. “breaching its boundary and stoking confrontation.”

Beijing has insisted that NATO not interfere in security affairs in the Indo-Pacific and that it should consider China as a positive force for regional peace and stability and for global security,” Zhu said.

Ha Ha!! The world is not that stupid!!

Regional peace, stability and global security do not go well together with China in a sentence.

Chinese coast guard personnel armed with knives, spears and an axe aboard motorboats repeatedly rammed and destroyed two Philippine navy supply vessels.

Actions of modern day pirates!!

China keeps saying their intentions are always peaceful and to protect the security of the South China Seas. Yeah,. . right!!!

Funny how the pro-Uncle Sam team is perfectly comfortable with Japanese imperialists hoovering up the Ryukyu Kingdom in 1879 and USA imperialists hoovering up the Hawaiian Kingdom in 1893.

I'm sure the currrent folks in Okinawa and Hawaii are much happier than the poor folks in Tibet, Hong Kong, Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia.

Very diplomatic…

Yes, Japan is very diplomatic.

Unlike the Chinese Coast Guard who act like pirates and destroy property and attack with knives and axes.

If you look at the actions and behavior of the nations and visiting nations in the South China Seas, it is only China that always intimidates others.

The CCP never takes responsibility for any wrong doing by its policies.

The anti-Japanese sentiment is promoted by the fake facts that the CCP provides about the treated water released from Fukushima including the ban on seafood products.

It's the Chinese social media companies taking action against hate speech.

But not a peep from the CCP government!!

“On Jan 6, we were respected all over the world, all over the world we were respected."

“I did not have sex with a porn star," replied Trump

Trump disagreed, declaring that during his term in the White House, “Everything was rocking good.”

Ha ha ha!!! Trump cracks me up!!

Everything that he says, I believe the opposite!!

The government in Taipei says Taiwan is already an independent country, the Republic of China.

I totally agree!!

The CCP has never ever ruled Taiwan.

@JJE

Here is the pic of the Chinese pirate with the axe.

Aaa.., China, Keeping it classy as always !!!

Instead of trying to contain China how about finding ways to live along side each other in PEACE and Harmony and do all we can to avoid a conflict with each other.

Pres. Reagan once said Peace through Strength, and we can all agree on that and our strength also comes from Respecting one another and working together towards common goals that will benefit our people as well as others.

I'm sure the Philippines and several other countries will disagree with what you have written!!

Peace and Harmony is not in China's interest when it comes to territory or technology. You are keeping up with the latest news, aren't you?

To the armchair critics,

There was no cover-up, the incident was reported to the media on the same day.

The decommissioning of the power plant is a complex procedure and those working there are doing their best with new and experimental technology.

Take a chill pill!!

I visited Seoul last January with a Korean colleague and we found that I was always charged more when I spoke in English first while shopping at markets and eating out at outdoor restaurants. My colleague mentioned that it was common problem not only for foreigners but for the locals too.

China has defended its new coast guard rules. A foreign ministry spokesman said last month that they were intended to "better uphold order at sea".

Ha ha ha!!

China is the biggest opposer of ORDER at sea!!

What Nomura said was a slip of the tongue, he apologized the same day in the evening.

The expression "Contaminated Water" is used only by Japan to describe the water before it undergoes treatment to eliminate most radioactive materials. After ALPS treatment, the water is called ‘‘treated water” by Japan and other international organizations.

Time will tell: Those people who eaten these fisheries, good health and good luck !

I think people in China should be more worried about the food in their own country.

The CCP government really doesn't have any shame!!

With all the negativity it produces recently with other countries, it just builds more hatred and distrust against the Chinese.

This is only going to promote the negative image of the Chinese. It's always the brainwashed nationalistic nutters that make these videos to increase their subscribers.

It's a shame because I know a lot Chinese people who have made Japan their home and are wonderful people.

@mr kipling

And there is no bigger bully than the US.

If you ask the countries in the South China Seas who the bully is? The overwhelming majority will say it's the middle kingdom!!

@elephant200

Should name the person's rank and name properly if you are into a sincere and respectful dialog with your counterpart.This is basic manner.

It is quite common to use the word "counterpart", and it is not disrespectful in any way. The expression is widely accepted in the media.

Your patriotism is blinding your sensibility!! You are only nit-picking!!

More details have appeared about this guide who apparently was running his business illegally.

This is a video commentary from a Frenchman who explains his own discovery of the whole episode and how disgusted he is with behavior of the guide.

@ DanteKH

Found an extended version of the video.

We can now see the other foreign lady's face as she explains to the guide that they should have apologized first for their actions. The guide explains they already had.

The guide then explains to the lady filming that he will contact the police next and asks the video footage to be deleted and then really impolitely asks for her name.

She repeats how he rudely asked for her name.

He curses again in Japanese for her to shut up and walks away!!

It wasn't harassment from the Japanese lady but the bad arrogant behavior of some unwelcome tourists!

https://www.instagram.com/tokyow0rld/reel/C7X_dNFvFnJ/

Watched the video and read the Japanese lady's blog.

She was filming the tourists because of their bad behaviour, she confronted them and told them it was unacceptable to ring the bell aggressively by each one of them and laugh about it. An older lady of the group apologized that she rung the bell too loudly.

The so-called foreign guide was arrogant and pretended that he couldn't speak Japanese and asked the lady if she spoke English. Clumsily, he reveals that he has lived in Japan for 8 years and is married to a Japanese person.

He calls the lady rude, in return she says,

"Rude? OMAE! (You! Used mainly by men)

In reply, the guide suddenly shows that he can curse quite well in Japanese as he shows his true colors.

He then pretends to not know what is going on and talks to a foreign woman (out of screen) who explains that the complaint is that his group was disrespectful at the shrine. He dismisses the idea and walks away ignoring the facts explained to him.

Unfortunately, there are always going to be foreigners who give us all a bad name, I hope this idiot is made to feel ashamed of his behavior.

It is a shame as many wonderful places around Japan will make changes due to the actions of a few rotten apples.

This story reminds me of when I went cycling along the Shimanami kaido (between Honshu and Shikoku), I took a detour and went to a rabbit island called Okunoshima. There were rabbits everywhere and when I shook my plastic bag full of trail mix, they all hop towards me, it was surely memorable.

The history of the island was a surprise, it used to produce poison gas decades back

Does Trump ever listen to what he says?

He suffers so badly from foot in mouth!!

And his supporters, blindly follow whatever he says. I truly feel sorry for the Americans if Trump is ever back in the White House.

The meeting will be a waste of time.

The CCP is a two-faced dragon, it's says one thing but does the opposite.

strained by issues including Tokyo's concerns about China's maritime activities in the East and South China Seas, and Beijing's protests against Japan's release of the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant into the ocean.

China will never stop their bullying behavior in the South China Seas.

China will continue to promote the fake narrative concerning Fukushima.

China will continue to bully economically other countries.

China will continue to hold foreigners on fake charges of spying.

China is losing international credibility everyday.

Remember, China brought this all on itself.

If you want respect in the international community, you have to earn respect from other countries instead of playing economic bullying games and infringing on the territories of neighboring countries.

China and Russia, which oppose the water release due to safety concerns, have banned Japanese seafood imports in response to the discharges.

More hypocrisy from these two countries, they still send their fishing boats to fish near Japan and then allow distribution of their catches in their own countries. How stupid do you think the world is?

@elephant

No problem, You've been monitored on your left, on your right, below and look up and wave, Japan is there too!!

@sakurasuki

Curry cooked in the Japanese Defense Forces is legendary especially in the MSDF.

Every Friday curry is served to all the personnel, Emanuel visits on a Friday. Guess what's for lunch?

Keep up the good work Ambassador!!

Not only that but he helped to end martial law in Taiwan and pushed for democracy for Taiwan and completed Taiwan's transition. He was nicknamed " Mr Democracy".

Ooh, that's gotta hurt!!!

@mark

Are you serious?

The Philippines is doing the right thing. They are publicizing the bullying tactics of the CCP. The world is taking notice that China is not behaving like a respectable member of the international community.

The Philippines are being extraordinary patient by not showing any aggression towards the intruders in their own Exclusive Economic Zone.

My dear comrade, Why don't you get tired of China always claiming to expel everyone from territory (large parts of the South China Seas, Sengaku Islands, borders of India and Bhutan) that isn't theirs?
