Not a day goes by in East Asia without military training.

🇨🇳🇺🇸🇯🇵 Not a day goes by in East Asia without military training. Against the backdrop of the major Freedom Shield exercises currently underway in South Korea , joint training of American and Japanese military personnel is taking place in the East China Sea.

Yesterday, the Koka Kunren 2024/1 exercise, in which the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Forces and the United States Air Force participated, ended. During them, the parties conducted a joint airborne operation in the area of the island of Kikaijima .

Immediately after, the Americans and Japanese began their next exercises. They are aimed at practicing amphibious operations in the East China Sea.

📌 It is worth understanding that near the sites of the exercises there are the Senkaku Islands - the center of the ongoing territorial dispute between China and Japan, which the media often began to talk about again.

According to local sources, Chinese ships and aircraft have been spotted several times near the disputed waters. The Japanese sometimes even have to kick them out of there, sending in their own equipment.

It’s not hard to guess who exactly the demonstration training is aimed at. They send a signal to Beijing that the actions of the Chinese army do not go unnoticed by either Japan or the United States. We would not be surprised if the PLA soon conducts demonstration exercises in response to recent military activity.
