Japan colluded with the Taiwan authorities to do something unpleasant, and the mainland immediately responded, with a special plane flying to Japan, and at the same time 12 PLA military planes were dispatched, causing the alarm bells to be raised in Japan and Taiwan at the same time.
Japan First of all, Japan released a new version of the defense white paper, which greatly exaggerated the risk of escalation of the situation in the Taiwan Strait, and then it was revealed that Japan actually conducted a joint maritime exercise with Taiwan's "Coast Guard."

It is reported that the exercise was conducted in the southern waters of Chiba Prefecture, Japan, and the purpose was to practice sea rescue projects. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Japan is openly provoking the mainland, because the Chinese side has long stressed on many occasions that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory and that the Taiwan issue is China's internal affair. However, Japan obviously ignored this fact and colluded with Taiwan's "Coast Guard" with bad water.
Perhaps Japan also understood that this was a bad thing, so Japan officials did not disclose this news, and the ships of Taiwan's "Coast Guard" arrived in Japan 8 days in advance, but during this period, they also remained silent.
However, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the low-key performance of Japan and Taiwan has not caused the island and the Taiwan authorities to reduce their accusations against Japan and the Taiwan authorities; many voices first criticized Japan's provocative acts, and then immediately bitterly criticized the Taiwan authorities for "recognizing a thief as their father."
As for the mainland, it has also made countermeasures. Forty-eight hours after the Japan-Taiwan collusion exercise, Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu went to Tokyo, Japan, to hold the 16th round of Sino-Japanese strategic dialogue with Japan's Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs Masashi Okano. The Chinese side stressed that the content of the dialogue involved bilateral relations and the exchange of views between the two sides on international and regional issues of common concern.

In this way, since Japan has recently provoked us one after another on the Taiwan Strait issue, China will definitely take this opportunity to knock Japan and warn Japan not to test China's red line.
Some people may say that Japan's "double standard" is deeply rooted in the true legend of United States, and it may be a face when talking to China, and when it turns its head, it will turn its face and deny people.
On this point, we also seem to have some consideration, because when Vice Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu went to Japan, 12 PLA military planes also sorted, although it was not "flying to Japan", but one of the moves also frightened the Japan side.
Taiwan's defense department also reported on the latest round of PLA patrols over Taiwan, and found 12 sorties, 7 warships, and 1 official ship operating around the Taiwan Strait. Although judging from the overall number of aircraft and ships dispatched and the route, the scale of the PLA's patrol of Taiwan this time is not large, and there are not too many military planes flying over the so-called "middle line of the strait", but one drone is very rare to fly around Taiwan Island.
Obviously, this move has greatly deterred the Taiwan military, because it shows that the PLA has drawn a large circle around the island and formed an impenetrable encirclement of the Taiwan army.
Moreover, earlier this month, two "twin-tailed scorpion" drones of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) also appeared in the airspace of Taitung, and the drone was regarded as a "decapitation artifact." At that time, there were voices on the island pointing out that perhaps the "decapitation operation" that the Taiwan authorities were most afraid of was coming, and now that the PLA drones circled Taiwan 360 degrees, the Taiwan military naturally had to sound the alarm and keep their nerves tense at all times.

As for why Japan is also nervous, it is because when the PLA drone circled Taiwan, the route passed between Taiwan Island and Yonaguni Island, and Japan even took off fighter planes urgently to respond.
It has to be said that the mainland has indeed shown its wisdom in dealing with the Taiwan Strait issue, and a single action of the drone around Taiwan will make Japan and Taiwan Island alarm bells at the same time, of course, Japan does not need to be unconvinced, because it is completely Japan that provokes us first, and besides, the actions of the PLA are reasonable, legal and compliant, and Japan cannot find any fault.

If Japan wants to get a calm way of dealing with us, the only way is to completely refrain from making irresponsible remarks on the Taiwan Strait issue, and not to make provocative moves; if Japan can really do this, we will certainly sit down with Japan and have a good dialogue.
As far as the Taiwan authorities are concerned, the only thing they can do now is not to collude with external forces, promote normal exchanges between the two sides of the strait as much as possible, and abandon the idea of "Taiwan independence." Otherwise, the Taiwan authorities will see very clearly the mainland's methods.
