Under-reported covid cases in Xiamen

Due to the CCP media and National Health Commission cover-up of covid cases, there has been concern whether the Xiamen Health Commission has withheld confirmed cases of covid. For example, Case 6 of Putian from Singapore is believed to be infected with covi in Xiamen. There could be many cases of asymptomatic infections and confirmed covid cases in Xiamen that are not reported.

On 20 August 2021, Taiwan added three new cases of immigration from abroad, two of whom had received a dose of vaccine. On the same day, 6 new cases were confirmed locally, and 1 person died.

Among the cases imported from abroad in the past week, a total of 12 people were infected with the Delta variant. Among them, a woman in her 40s was diagnosed after returning to Taiwan from Xiamen.

Luo Yijun, deputy head of the Medical Response Team of the Taiwan Command Centre, said the woman entered Taipei from a city near Jinjiang via Xiamen  on 30 July 2021. Her case is not the same as the Delta sequence  existing in Pingtung and it was determined that the infection was not in Taiwan. It is not ruled out that the case was infected at Xiamen Gaoqi Airport.

An epidemiology professor at a domestic university who did not want to be named told China News Weekly that it is still difficult to determine that the source of the epidemic was Lin XX who returned from Singapore. It is also speculated that between his journey from Xiamen to Hexian, he may be infected in Xiamen and Hexian quarantine hotels.
The professor pointed out that Delta has a high viral load and a long detoxification time, which is already a consensus of everyone. Xianyou is the terminal of the transmission chain, and there are many nodes from Xiamen to Xianyou, such as the isolation point hotel, the trajectory of Lin XX, and the close connection, etc., which must be thoroughly investigated.
He bluntly said, "The isolation and control measures in Xianyou County cannot be compared with those in big cities. When cases are discovered, they have already formed invisible transmission. There is a problem."

According to the Japanese "Oriental News" report, Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare announced on 9 September that 18 cases of infection with the Eta mutant strain of covi have been found in Japan. Like Mu mutant strains, Eta variant/B.1.525 (Covi25) has been designated as a "muted strain requiring vigilance" by the World Health Organization. This is also the first case of Covi25 infection in Japan.
According to reports, Covi25 was first discovered in the United Kingdom in December 2020, and has now spread to more than 70 countries centered on Europe and the United States. The World Health Organization believes that this mutant strain may have a higher infectious power and weaken the effect of the covi vaccine.
The report pointed out that the 18 cases of infection in Japan were confirmed cases between December 2020 and 3 September 2021. It was confirmed that they were infected with Covi25 after recent genetic analysis.

The production process of this drug is to collect the plasma of these people to separate the immunoglobulins (antibodies) obtained after vaccination. During treatment, these immunoglobulins are removed and injected into the patient's body.
Dr. Lin Xiaoxu, former director of the Department of Virology of the US Army Research Institute, explained that in the past, administering immunoglobulin to people with insufficient immunity was a common medical technique, "providing some extra shells" to deal with enemies invading the body.
There are effective treatments for covid, such as monoclonal antibody therapy. Lin Xiaoxu believes that this covid-specific treatment drug is exaggerated by the media as the "world's first" and "covid specific drug".
"Some people think that another new treatment plan has come out, but it is not that simple," Lin Xiaoxu said. This drug has just started clinical trials and may face some challenges in practical applications in the future.
What are the problems facing the manufacture of immunoglobulin drugs from the blood of the vaccinated person?
He further stated that the manufacturing process and use of the drug itself face seven problems and challenges:
1. The quality and safety of plasma at blood collection points in various places are prone to unevenness.
Lin Xiaoxu explained that to collect immunoglobulins, at least more than 1,000 people’s plasma is needed to have a sufficient amount. These people who have been vaccinated may be distributed in different cities. Whether each blood sampling point can guarantee the safety and quality of these blood samples is a question in itself.
Moreover, inactivated vaccines of Sinopharm and Sinovac, the amount of antibodies that are stimulated in the vaccinators is not as high as that of mRNA vaccines. Therefore, it is natural to collect more blood plasma.
2. How long  it takes to donate blood after vaccination and whether the blood donor takes other drugs.
The control of blood donors is also very important, including whether they are taking other drugs, how long they will receive blood draw after vaccination, and so on.
The concentration of antibodies obtained by vaccination will decrease over time, which is likely to cause great fluctuations in the amount of covi antibodies contained in the collected plasma. Although blood donors can be screened, for example, the plasma of people who have been injected for about one month is limited. However, some places may be more difficult to control.

3. The production process, quality control (including various residues) of the separation process and the stability of immunoglobulins
The production process of separating immunoglobulins from plasma includes many steps: how to remove residues, such as stabilizers used for separation, clotting factors in plasma, etc.; how to maintain the stability and effectiveness of the separated immunoglobulins price. These are the tests that the drug manufacturing process will face.
4. Difficulty to keep the quality of different batches of medicines relatively stable
Whether it is a clinical trial or a therapeutic drug to be launched in the future, there will be different batches of isolated immunoglobulins. It is more difficult to ensure consistent quality.
Lin Xiaoxu explained that because blood is collected from different groups of people, there will definitely be quality differences in different batches. Including the stability and titer of immunoglobulins, and how many of these immunoglobulins are antibodies against covi.
5. Among the isolated immunoglobulins, the proportion of the neutralizing antibodies of the covi has to be considered.
Among the immunoglobulins isolated from plasma, what proportion of the neutralizing antibodies against covi account for and how to evaluate the titer of these antibodies are the core issues that these drugs can be effective.
6. Monitoring standards for the titers of neutralizing antibodies against covi
Neutralizing antibody titers will vary greatly with different evaluation methods. "This evaluation itself also has a certain degree of difficulty," Lin Xiaoxu said.
7. Difficulty to determine the protective effect against the mutant virus
The current Sinopharm and Sinovac inactivated vaccines, like other vaccines, are based on the original covi (Wuhan virus). Today, the Delta variant virus/B.1.617.2 (Covi72) is raging around the world, replacing the original virus. Covi72 itself has a higher immune escape ability. Therefore, it is still difficult to determine the protective effect of the immunoglobulin extracted from the vaccinated person on Covi72.
At present, it seems that covi has undergone a critical mutation every few months, from the Alpha, Beta, Gamma mutation to the now raging Delta, Mu and other variants, only about half a year. Whether drug development can keep up with the speed of virus variants is also difficult to say.

Lin Xiaoxu added that immunoglobulin therapy is mainly aimed at people with immunodeficiency. It is difficult for these people to get enough antibodies by vaccinating to get protection through intravenous injection of immunoglobulin. He reminded that if this treatment plan passes clinical trials in the future, not all people will use the treatment for covid.

In recent years, the US government has been committed to promoting the international status of the Republic of China in response to the CCP’s threat of force against Taiwan. A few days ago, two U.S. congressmen called on the Biden administration to assist Taiwan in becoming a member of the United Nations. There are also reports that the Biden administration is seriously considering changing the name of the Taipei Representative Office in the United States to "Taiwan Representative Office."
The United Nations General Assembly will debut in New York on 14 September 2021. On 9 September, U.S. Republican Representatives Perry (Rep. Scott Perry, R-PA) and Tiffany (Rep. Tom Tiffany, R-WI) jointly sent a letter to the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Thomas Greenfield (Linda Thomas). -Greenfield), calling on the Biden administration to use the U.S. influence in the United Nations to ensure the promotion of Taiwan’s status and assist Taiwan in joining the United Nations.
In the letter, the two lawmakers asked Ambassador Thomas Greenfield to respond to Congress before 14 September 2021.
The joint letter disclosed on the official Twitter of Congressman Tiffany wrote that Taiwan’s economy ranks about 20 in the world and is the tenth largest trading partner of the United States. The United States recognizes Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria and other countries that support terrorism as members of the United Nations, but does not recognize Taiwan, which is against common sense.
The letter said, "We prefer Taiwan to replace the People's Republic of China in the United Nations", but for now, what the United States can and must do is "at least to ensure that Taiwan fully enjoys the rights, special treatments and responsibilities of a member of the United Nations. ".
On the 10th, Biden and Xi Jinping had the second call since February. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Communist Party of China declared in a related statement that Biden said during the phone call that "the United States has never intended to change the one-China policy."
However, on the day of the call, the “Financial Times” quoted multiple sources to report that the Biden administration is seriously considering Taiwan’s request to rename its Washington representative office from the “Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the United States” (Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office) to the "Taiwan Representative Office".
Two sources revealed that Kurt Campbell, the White House Coordinator for Indo-Pacific Affairs, supported the name change.
However, at the regular White House press conference that day, the spokesperson said that he had no knowledge of the matter.
According to the Financial Times, on 10 September 2021, high-level US and Taiwan officials also held face-to-face talks in Annapolis, the capital of Maryland, about 30 miles from Washington. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China Wu Zhaoxie attended this sensitive "Special Channel" meeting. This is also the first face-to-face meeting between the Biden administration and a senior Taiwan official.
The renaming of Taiwan's representative office in the United States also received a lot of support from the US Congress. In May 2021, cross-party congressmen introduced a bill calling for the "Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the United States" to be renamed the "Taiwan Representative Office in the United States."

On the 29th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between South Korea and China, the relationship is in crisis
On the 29th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between South Korea and China, the China Institute for Strategic Studies held a seminar in South Korea. Together they discussed the history of the establishment of diplomatic relations between South Korea and China and the existing problems.
On 8 September, a seminar was held at the 1928 Art Center in Jeongdong, Jung-gu, Seoul, with the theme of "Review and Prospect of the 29th Anniversary of the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations between South Korea and China".
In 1992, when South Korea and China established diplomatic relations, Kim Seok-woo, the director of the Korea Human Rights and Citizens’ Union, who was the Asian Director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, attended the seminar that day. Achievements wise,  what needs to be reflected is that South Korea failed to ensure its national interests to the utmost extent during the hasty establishment of diplomatic relations.
Kim Seok-woo, President of the Korea Human Rights and Citizens Union: "For example, for the Chinese Communists' participation in the Korean War and a formal apology to South Korea, there should be more intense negotiations, but none of them were achieved. It was just a summary of data retention and rapid establishment of diplomatic relations."
In order to establish diplomatic relations with the CCP, South Korea agreed to the CCP’s one-China proposal and unilaterally notified Taiwan to sever diplomatic relations. The most controversial issue was that the South Korean government at that time did not give Taiwan any time to prepare and buffer, including matters such as the transfer of the Taiwanese embassy, ​​the transition to the CCP without warning.
Cui Zhanggen, a researcher in charge of the China Institute for Strategic Studies, said, “One of the decisive reasons for South Korea’s unilateral notification of Taiwan’s severance of diplomatic relations is the handling of the problem by the Embassy at Myeongdong. If the transfer is not made, there will be no establishment of diplomatic relations."
Sung-hwan Cao, a professor at the Graduate School of Political Science at Gyeonggi University, stated that in the 29 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, the relationship between South Korea and China was in crisis. The conflict between the United States and China could not separate economics and politics. South Korea will be shocked.

Is the vaccination rate 100% unable to resist the Delta variant?

Since the outbreak of the epidemic, governments of various countries have been pinning their hopes on vaccinating the whole people to form herd immunity to control the epidemic. However, recently, the Japanese mainstream media "Sankei Shimbun" published an article stating that due to the transmission power of the Delta variant and the reduced vaccine effectiveness, even if everyone is vaccinated, herd immunity cannot be formed. Japan's Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare (ie, Minister of Health and Minister of Labor) Norihisa Tamura stated that vaccines alone cannot cope with the epidemic.
News (29)
Two major limitations of herd immunity
What is the concept of "herd immunity" which is widely mentioned?
To measure the infectious ability of a virus, an important value is the "R0 value". R0 is the basic number of infections, which refers to the average number of people who have been infected with the virus if no one has been infected or vaccinated.
When a person is infected with a virus or injected with a vaccine, they will produce antibodies and thus develop immunity. When the number of people in the group with antibodies reaches a certain percentage, the virus cannot continue to spread. This percentage is called the "herd immunity threshold".
In the past, when Alpha variants spread across the world, the scientific community generally believed that the herd immunity threshold for controlling Alpha variants was 70% to 80%. Anthony Fauci, the chief medical adviser of the White House, once stated that if 70% to 80% of people receive the new crown vaccine, there will be a chance to eliminate the epidemic.
But in fact, "herd immunity" itself is just an idealized concept. It has two prerequisites: one is to assume that the virus will not mutate; the other is to assume that most people have similar health conditions and lifestyles, and that they will produce sufficient amounts of antibodies to the virus after vaccination. Dr. Lin Xiaoxu, an American virology expert and former director of the U.S. Army Research Institute's Department of Virology, pointed out that in reality, neither of these assumptions hold true.
First of all, everyone's immunity is different, and different people produce different amounts of antibodies after being vaccinated. Especially people with weakened immunity may not even be able to produce antibodies.
But for the covi, the bigger challenge is the virus variant.
When the Delta variant (Covi72) began to appear and quickly gradually replaced the Alpha variant (Covi15), everything was different.

"Pandemic prevention model" Israel has become the most severely affected country in the world
Israel, regarded as the "world model of epidemic prevention", has seen a rapid rise in the epidemic curve since the Delta variant spread at the end of June. As of September 3, Israel has become the most severely affected country in the world for several consecutive days, with 1143 confirmed cases per 1 million people in a single day, surpassing the second Mongolia’s 1058 confirmed cases per million. At that time, 68% of people in Israel had received at least one dose of vaccine, and 63% had received two doses of vaccine. 
In the United States, where vaccination rates are among the highest, the rates of diagnosis and hospitalization are also rapidly rising.
According to the CDC report, in the mass infection incident in Massachusetts in July, 75% of the newly infected people with Covi72 were previously vaccinated, and 69% of adults in Massachusetts were fully vaccinated.
Immediately afterwards, an internal report of the CDC on 29 July pointed out for the first time that no matter whether the vaccine was vaccinated or not, after being infected with Covi72, the infectivity was equally strong. He also pointed out that "humanity's war against the covid virus has changed." 
Fortunately, the hospitalization rate and death rate of infected cases have decreased compared with the previous wave. "This represents that the vaccine (in terms of preventing severe illness) has played a role," Andrew Noymer, an epidemiologist at the University of California, Irvine, told the British Medical Journal (BMJ). But he said worriedly that since people who are vaccinated can still be infected and spread the new crown, then herd immunity has become a "mirage."
News (31)
The inoculation rate is 100% and it is difficult to resist the Delta variant
Japan's "Sankei Shimbun" published an article on September 5 stating that after the emergence of the Delta variant, herd immunity will not be achieved. The article further shows that if the Delta variant allows one patient to infect 5 people, and the protection of the vaccine drops to about 80%, then even if everyone is vaccinated, it will still not be able to prevent the spread of the virus.
The US CDC documents indicate that Covi72 can infect 5-9 people in a population.
On the other hand, the protective power of the new crown vaccine has also declined. A large study by the Mayo Clinic in the United States showed that the protective effects of Pfizer and Moderna vaccines in July were 42% and 76%, respectively; while the CDC report stated that in nursing homes, the effectiveness of mRNA vaccines against Covi72 decreased 53.1%.
Ellie Murray, an infectious disease scientist at Boston University, concluded to the New York Times that according to a study by the US CDC, at present, the overall protection of the two doses of vaccine is 55%, which is a protection against symptomatic infections. The power is 80%, and the protection against severe illness is 90%.
Today, the United States, the United Kingdom, Israel and many other countries are vigorously promoting the third dose of the vaccine. Salman Zarka, a covid virus expert at the Israeli Ministry of Health, said that people should "prepare for the fourth dose of vaccine."
Japan’s Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare (i.e., Minister of Health and Minister of Labor) Kenhisa Tamura confessed, “I don’t think vaccines alone can overcome the current situation.” It was clear that vaccines are no longer the trump card for epidemic prevention and should not rely on this measure blindly.
Lin Xiaoxu further pointed out that now it seems that people may have to start looking for other ways to defend against the covid virus.

The situation on the Diaoyutai Islands is escalating, China and Japan have their own opinions
On 10 September, there is news that the whole Japanese army will hold a large-scale military exercise. The 100,000 civilian self-defense members and the US Army stationed in Japan will conduct various field trainings in two and a half months. With the severe epidemic in Japan, Japan launched its largest military exercise in 28 years. Yesterday we said it was a "bright sword" under the persecution of the CCP.
Sure enough, we guessed it. Not long ago, China and Japan had a tense confrontation in the waters of the Diaoyutai Islands and almost opened fire. During this period, the Chinese Coast Guard warship directly collided with a Japanese ship. Both China and Japan have confirmed that this happened, but the statements of the two sides are different.
On 10 September, the official account of the Chinese Communist Party’s National Defense Times stated that “the situation on the Diaoyutai Islands is escalating! Japan initiated unprovoked provocations and the Chinese Coast Guard warship crashed into the tail of the Japanese patrol ship.”
The article stated that five fishing boats from the Yaeyama Fisheries Association of Japan's Ishigaki Island have recently appeared near the Diaoyutai Islands, with Japanese right-wing lawmakers and right-wing people on board. Attempted to take a speedboat into the waters of the Diaoyu Islands and implement landing operations. Afterwards, the Chinese side sent four coastal police boats to block the Japanese fishing boats outside the waters of the Diaoyutai Islands.
The report said that the matter was not over. Soon at least 12 patrol ships and gunboats of the Japanese Security Agency rushed over. The CCP battleship then started "dealing" with the Japanese ships, "not giving one step," during which "a maritime policeman directly ran into a Japanese patrol alternate ship."
The Chinese Communist Party’s official media reported that “It can be clearly seen from the picture that the Chinese (CCP) Coast Guard battleship hit a Japanese Coast Guard gunboat with a naval gun.”
However, the Japanese statement differs a lot from the report of the Chinese Communist Party's official media.
According to a report by Japan's "Yaeyama Daily" on 1 September 2021, the incident happened on 30 August. The five Yaeyama Fisheries Cooperative’s fishing boats "Dai Sakura", "Emi", "Rie", "Eighth Dasei" and "Zenko 2" departed from Ishigaki Island and were hit by 4 CCPs on the way to the Diaoyu Islands. Coastal police ship tracked and intercepted.
According to the Japanese Coast Guard’s announcement and fishermen’s testimony, when Japanese fishing boats started fishing near the Diaoyutai Islands, the CCP’s coast guard boat assumed a posture and flanked the fishing boats, forcing the Japanese fishing boats to evacuate. The Japanese Security Agency immediately sent a coast guard ship to the scene and confronted the CCP coast guard boat. In the process, a Japanese fishing boat was hit by the CCP coast guard boat.

The CCP’s ship collision releases hard talk "The Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895" risks to recurrence
Judging from the statements of both parties, both admitted that a Japanese ship was hit by a Chinese coast guard ship in the waters near the Diaoyu Islands, and both admitted that there was a tense confrontation between China and Japan.
It can be seen from the reports of the CCP’s official media that the CCP’s coast guard ship hit the Japanese ship "directly." The statement of "direct collision" clearly means that the CCP's coast guard ship did not take any evasive measures.
In addition, the Chinese Communist Party’s official media also emphasized that “China’s territorial issue is firmly supported by the Chinese people, and Japan will certainly fight back in spite of warnings.” He even issued a threat, "This time it hit a Japanese ship. Maybe it won't be that simple next time."
The CCP article also stated, "Through this incident, I believe that Japan also understands the strength of China (CCP), and the Chinese (CCP) Coast Guard is mighty!"
Judging from these phenomena and the CCP’s official media, it can be basically concluded that the collision of the CCP’s coast guard ship against the Japanese ship was a very malicious and deliberate collision. The purpose of this is to try to force Japan to retreat and then occupy the Diaoyu Islands.
Although not at the scene, I should be able to imagine how tense the situation would be at that time. Everyone, notice that both sides have used the word "confrontation." "Confrontation" means confrontation and contend, neither side shows weakness or stalemate.
We all know that when the two armies are facing each other, if their momentum is weak, it will be difficult to win. So you can imagine how tense the atmosphere was at that time. In that kind of tension, as long as the Japanese can't keep their breath, there may be a firefight. If there is an exchange of fire, it may be the second Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895.
Japan was a defeated country in World War II and could not have an army, only a self-defense force. However, the current international situation has changed dramatically. With the increase in disputes on the Diaoyutai Islands, the CCP has increasingly shown its bullying and hegemonic ambitions.
Therefore, Japan may have been forced out of the way before mobilizing all its troops to carry out large-scale military exercises. With the tiger and wolf teacher around him, he had to prepare for the worst. Once there is a conflict with the CCP, you can have the ability to protect the island.
Some people may doubt that Japan "protects the island". To be fair, even though the CCP has repeatedly claimed that "Diaoyutai Islands are Chinese territory", "is an inalienable part of Chinese territory" and so on. But in fact, as the Voice of America pointed out, the Diaoyutai Islands are indeed under Japanese administrative jurisdiction.
In addition, as early as the 1950s in the upper world, the then Prime Minister Zhou Enlai publicly admitted that the Diaoyutai Islands belonged to Japan. Moreover, the Chinese Communist Party’s official media "People’s Daily" published an editorial on March 26, 1958, stating that Zhou Enlai stated in the "Declaration on the Draft US-British Peace Treaty with Japan and the San Francisco Conference" on August 15, 1951: including the Ryukyu Islands and "These islands, including the Ogasawara Islands, have not been required to separate from Japan in any past international agreement."
The "Ryukyu Islands" mentioned in the article include the Diaoyutai Islands, also known as the Senkaku Islands in Japan.

U.S. research plans to correct the name to "Taiwan", the CCP's bottom line is challenged
Let's look at another matter. Biden has just finished the phone call with Xi Jinping, and both parties have expressed their desire to ensure that there is no conflict. In particular, the Chinese Communist Party said that Biden said on the phone that "the United States has no intention to change the one-China policy." But as soon as the voices of both sides fell, the CCP’s "bottom line" was challenged.
At the White House press conference yesterday (10th), a reporter asked "whether we are seriously considering changing the name of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the United States to Taiwan Representative Office". Spokesperson Psaki's reply was more tactful. She said that she must "check the matter" with the White House team. There is neither affirmation nor a denial.
However, the "Financial Times" cited multiple anonymous sources within the US government that Washington is "seriously considering" Taiwan's request in March 2021 to rename the "Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the United States" to "Taiwan Representative Office."
The article quoted two sources as saying that Campbell, the White House Coordinator for Indo-Pacific Affairs, supports the name change. One of them said that Taiwan’s request "was widely supported by the National Security Council and the Asian affairs officials of the State Council." However, it has not yet been finalized, and Biden will eventually be finalized by signing a presidential decree.
Don't underestimate a name change, which actually carries the meaning of sovereignty. Calling the "Taiwan Representative Office" means that Taiwan is a sovereign country, but the two sides have not yet established diplomatic relations. But the formal establishment of diplomatic relations is only one step away. It also means that the U.S. does not recognize the "One China Policy" as the CCP calls it, and is more like one China, one Taiwan, or one China and each table.
If Biden finally makes a final decision, the "Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the United States" will be officially renamed the "Taiwan Representative Office", which will undoubtedly be a major and substantial leap in the improvement of US-Taiwan relations. It is also the most symbolic progress between the United States and the Republic of China since the cessation of diplomatic relations between the United States and Taiwan in 1979.
Then there will be a good show, because once the name is officially changed, in the words of the CCP, it will be a major challenge to the CCP's "bottom line."
The CCP has always claimed that Taiwan is part of Chinese territory and does not allow Taiwan to use names with sovereign meanings in the world. Nor is it allowed for countries that have established diplomatic relations with the CCP to have any official contacts with Taiwan.
Everyone has seen that Lithuania, a small European country in the Baltic Sea, has reacted fiercely by allowing the Republic of China to establish a "Taiwan Representative Office." Not only the ambassador to Lithuania was recalled, but Lithuania was also retaliated economically.
So this is a very interesting question. When the "Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the United States" is officially renamed "Taiwan Representative Office", I really want to see how the CCP will react.
Of course, economic retaliation is unlikely. In the previous US-China trade war, the CCP’s economic bullets have basically been wiped out. The most important thing for us is to see if the CCP will continue its sanctions on Lithuania and recall the CCP’s ambassador to the United States. The CCP has never dared to do this to the United States. Let's see if it dares to do this time.
I guess it’s unlikely, because the CCP doesn’t want to sever diplomatic relations with the United States, let alone enter a state of war with the United States. And to recall the ambassador is to reduce diplomatic relations, and if the minister is not retained, it is to sever diplomatic relations. Two countries without diplomatic relations may enter a state of war at any time.
So I think the comments made by netizens earlier are very interesting. The bottom line of the CCP is likely to be "draw one more."

Responding to CCP threats, Japan signs agreement on exporting national defense equipment to Vietnam

On 11 September 2021, Japan and Vietnam sign an agreement allowing Japan to export Japanese-made defense equipment and equipment to this Southeast Asian country. The technology exports are meant to strengthen cooperation between Japan and Vietnam in response to the increasingly strong performance of the CCP in the waters of the region.
According to the Nikkei report, this agreement was signed by Japanese Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi after taking office last year when he visited Hanoi for the first time. After meeting with Vietnam’s Foreign Minister Pan Van Giang, Nobuo Kishi said at an online press conference that Japan will speed up negotiations with Vietnam on the sale of SDF warships.
As one of the main member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, Vietnam is the 11th country to sign such an agreement with Japan. At the same time, the CCP is emphasizing its sovereignty over the East China Sea and South China Sea.
A Vietnamese Ministry of National Defense official said that the agreement was reached in the context of "Vietnam is promoting the diversification of its defense equipment sources."
Vietnam has strong defense ties with Russia, and most of its military equipment relies on imports from Russia, including submarines and fighter jets. Because during the Cold War, it was part of the former communist group.
Nobuo Kishi stated that the agreement will "strengthen Japan's defense industry base and is expected to contribute to national security."
He also added that the two sides agreed to work together to establish a rules-based order and reiterated the importance of freedom of navigation and overflight and compliance with international law. This is undoubtedly an implicit counterattack against Beijing.
Vietnam and the CCP have territorial disputes over the sovereignty of the Nansha and Paracel Islands in the South China Sea, and accused the Beijing regime of militarizing outposts built on the islands.
During the meeting, Nobuo Kishi told Pan Van Giang that he hopes to send a message to the international community that he strongly opposes "any unilateral attempt to change the status quo" because the Chinese Communist regime claims that it has the Diaoyutai Islands actually occupied by Japan in the East China Sea (Japan). Name: The Senkaku Islands and the sovereignty of its affiliated islands.
Nobuo Kishi expressed his views on maintaining and strengthening the free and open Indo-Pacific region, and expressed concern about a law implemented by the Chinese Communist Party in February. The law allows the Chinese coast guard to use weapons against foreign ships that it believes to enter its waters illegally.
Nobuo Kishi said that he told Pan Van Giang, “The stability of the situation in Taiwan is vital to the security of Japan and the rest of the world.” At the same time, the two sides agreed to strengthen bilateral cooperation, such as allowing warships and warplanes of the Japanese Self-Defense Force to call at ports in Vietnam and cooperation in the field of cyber security.
He also stated that Japan will cooperate with Vietnam to achieve North Korea’s goal of "fully, verifiably and irreversibly dismantling all weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles of all ranges."
