Thus, if Japan moves to weaken trade ties with China, it would severely batter the Japanese economy that is suffering a slow recession, Zhang said. The US has already called for a joint response to Chinese "economic coercion" in working-level talks with G7 nations. This will cause irreparable damage to the Japanese economy, according to experts. However, it's hard for G7 to reach an agreement on containment measures of raising tariffs, Zhou said. The blockade will only further stimulate China's resolve for self-reliance," Qin said. The Japanese side has repeatedly stated to the Chinese side that bilateral trade relations are close, that Japan is committed to promoting cooperation with China and that it will not adopt a "de-sinicization" approach, Mao said.

[Anadolu Agency website contains only a portion of the news stories offered to subscribers in the AA News Broadcasting System (HAS), and in summarized form. “It is a prevailing aspiration of all countries (in Asia) to safeguard regional peace and promote common development. “As the saying goes, do not do unto others what you don't want done unto you. As the keenly-felt pain still stings, Japan should not help a villain do evil. Today the US has repeated its tricks on China.” “The two sides exchanged views on the importance of the Japan-China-ROK (South Korea) process, and agreed to restart the process, including at the summit and foreign minister levels,” the statement added. As Hayashi mentioned the “importance of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait,” Qin emphasized that the “Taiwan question is at the very core of China's core interests, which bears on the political foundation of China-Japan relations.” The Japanese diplomat also reiterated “serious concerns about the situation in the South China Sea, in Hong Kong, and Xinjiang,” the Japanese Foreign Ministry said. While calling for “an appropriate environment for cooperation,” Hayashi reiterated Japan’s “serious concerns” about the situation in the East China Sea, including the situation surrounding the disputed Senkaku Islands, and China's “intensification of military activities around Japan, including cooperation with Russia.” According to a Japanese Foreign Ministry’s statement, Hayashi in his talks with Qin “protested the detention of a Japanese national in Beijing,” calling for his early release. Calling on Tokyo to “sum up the lessons of history,” Wang stressed that following Washington’s “wrong” policy on China “is strategically short-sighted, politically wrong and diplomatically unwise.” While noting “various noises and disturbances” in China’s bilateral relations with Japan, Wang Yi blamed “some forces” in Tokyo for “deliberately following wrong” US policy toward China, and cooperating with the US side in “smearing and provoking on issues involving the core interests of China.”

But after it was shot down, the White House confirmed the vessel was carrying equipment capable of intercepting and geolocating communications.

The ebb and flow of disputes surrounding the South China Sea has been there for decades. China has allotted two critical spots for its survey vessels in the Indian Ocean region (IOR). During October 2018, the Yuan Wang 7 ship conducted its maiden voyage in a predetermined area in the Indian Ocean for monitoring and gathering data regarding the ‘Yuanzheng 1 S-yao-1’ rocket which was launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. But, presenting these critical spots publicly has now also laid bare contingencies of possible pushback from the side of those nations that might be in peril due to this non-consensual move, one of them being India itself. Intentions are quite unclear about why China wants a rhythmic survey of the eastern Indian Ocean.

He also added that the country is gaining an edge in national security while posing a potential threat to its rivals and opponents with its advanced technological capabilities. “We are in between orders and this has created opportunities for a country like India to play a role in shaping the incoming order in a manner aligned as much as possible to its interests,” he said, adding that India’s presidency of the G20 reflects India’s emergence as a major power but also presents the opportunity for the country to be a leading power. He also said the India military needs to make the transition from one which is narrowly focused on defence to one that also enables and secures India’s rise. “With a presidency of G20, India will have a significant role to play in finding practical and effective global solutions that benefit everyone,” he said.

Beijing has of late been claiming that the mutual withdrawal of troops by the Chinese PLA and the Indian Army from Patrolling Point 15 (Gogra-Hotsprings area) in September 2022 marked the restoration of normalcy along the LAC in eastern Ladakh. [Facebook ](https://www.facebook.com/deccanherald/) New Delhi had strongly reacted to Beijing’s move on both occasions, stating that China’s move to assign “invented names” to places in Arunachal Pradesh would not alter the fact that the state had always been and would always remain an integral part of India. The 11 places, which were renamed by the Chinese Government in Mandarin and Tibetan on Sunday, included “two land areas, two residential areas, five mountain peaks and two rivers”. The Indian Army too had to deploy additional troops to resist the Chinese PLA’s move to push the LAC westward. New Delhi, however, rejects Beijing’s claim and says that the entire state of Arunachal Pradesh is an integral part of India.
