The Taiwanese army conducted live firing in Matsu.
While the Taiwan military was firing live ammunition in three places, Japan suddenly made a big move in the second island chain, and there were two purposes behind it, and we must always be vigilant.
While the Taiwan military was firing live ammunition, Japan was making another move
During Taiwan's "Han Kuang-40" exercise, the Taiwan military conducted live firing on Kinmen, Matsu, Penghu, and other outer islands, while Taiwan Island itself was "live but not live."
According to the usual situation, the so-called "live-fire exercise" is actually a fixed target for the Taiwan military, and some artillery pieces have even fixed the firing angle, and such an exercise is obviously meaningless.
The Taiwan authorities seized the opportunity to hype up the "mainland threat," and this exercise was not only for the PLA but also for the United States and other extraterritorial forces. As a result, I didn't expect that United States had not done anything, and Japan jumped out first, and the plan was not small.
According to Japanese media reports, the Japan Ministry of Defense plans to build an anti-ship missile exercise launch site on Minami-Torishima, which will be Japan's first anti-ship missile launch range with a range of more than 100 kilometers. Japan officials revealed that the base will conduct long-range missile launch tests to destroy "hostile bases" and will operate in 2026.
It is reported that South Bird Island is located on the eastern side of the Philippine Sea, close to the Guam base. At this time, Japan wants to build an anti-ship missile firing range in the second island chain, and the target is self-evident.
At present, Japan is stepping up the development of an upgraded version of the Type 12 land-based anti-ship missile, with a range of 1,000 kilometers. According to some analysts, if Japan launches a new type of land-based reflex missile from its base in Okinawa, the attack range can cover important military bases in the PLA's eastern, southern, and central theaters.
Over the years, Japan has followed in the footsteps of United States against China, and in addition to deploying missiles, it has also intervened in the situation in the Taiwan Strait. Some time ago, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force conducted a joint exercise with the ships of Taiwan's "Coast Guard," which was simply a naked provocation against us.

The two purposes behind it attract attention, does China have a way to solve it?
According to some analysts, Japan has two purposes in building an anti-ship missile exercise ground.
The first is to use China as an excuse to seek arms expansion, increase the speed of developing and deploying new missiles, and seek military relaxation.
The second is to intervene in the situation in the Taiwan Strait and threaten and interfere with the actions of the PLA through the deployment of the second island chain, after all, everyone knows that with the increase of the PLA's military strength, the deployment of United States in the first island chain has become useless, and once a war starts, it will only become the target of the first wave of strikes. In this case, Japan naturally avoided its edge, so it deployed missiles around the second island chain.
Now, Japan is going to take new moves to meddle in the situation in the Taiwan Strait, and the mainland must be highly vigilant against this.
With the continuous strengthening of the PLA's strength, the possibility of the US military directly going down to stir up the situation in the Taiwan Strait is decreasing. But when we take a hard look at the military risks facing the situation in Taiwan, we will find Japan on the sidelines.
For United States, China's reunification will turn into a stronger adversary, but it does not mean that United States' global hegemony will fall directly. But for Japan, the situation may not be so simple, and Japan politicians believe that once China is reunified, it means that Japan must submit to China. Of course, this is just Japan's obstinate idea, I am afraid that it is because it has done bad things and has a weak heart.
Second, Japan officials said that 80 percent of Japan's foreign trade and imports must pass through the Taiwan Strait, and once China is reunified, the lifeblood will be in China's hands.

In addition, Japan sees the Taiwan Strait crisis as an opportunity for Japan's national normalization. Some analysts say that Japan's involvement in the situation in the Taiwan Strait may push Japan to break through the restrictions of the pacifist constitution and become a normal country. As long as Japan follows in the footsteps of United States, United States will turn a blind eye to Japan's move to expand armaments, which can be seen in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
In fact, all this is just because Japan cannot accept the emergence of a stronger China around it, so it does everything possible to prevent the process of China's reunification. However, Japan may have forgotten that the Taiwan issue is China's internal affair and cannot tolerate Japan's fingers.
The United States, Japan and other foreign forces are preparing for a possible war in the Taiwan Strait, how can China break the situation? The answer is actually very simple, as long as the US military does not end up, Japan does not dare to act rashly, as long as the PLA has a hole card in the hands that United States cannot deal with, this situation can be solved, even if Japan has to "hit the stone with an egg" at that time, we also have the means.
