Waste of time for a summit with China! China never sticks to any agreement!

For a nation with a rich history, rich culture and significant contributions to human civilization, the current CCP government destroys this image and generates an impression of dishonesty, intimidation and deceit. What a shame!

Important to note that Taiwan has every right to protect itself from the regional bully across the strait!!

China isn't looking for war, war isn't good for China, China thrives on peace so that global trade can thrive..

What???

I think you better take your dreamy pink tinted glasses off and see reality. China is the world's economic bully!!

Japan found a way to discard old fleet assets.

No, just another irritant for the Chinese pirates!!

Be prepared Japan. January is a long way off before the "test cruise" starts.

Watch out now for those intrusive Chinese ships coming in to do their own research, then claiming the seas as their own and finally installing Chinese structures in the area.

As always, Beijing is always changing the narrative to suit itself. One of the reasons why it doesn't get much respect worldwide.

Yes, continue to feed your domestic audience your lies and the distorted truth!!

More war propaganda from the American Propaganda fake news agency.

More IGNORANCE from the truth as can be explained in the last sentence of the article.

Beijing's claim has much merit under international law. Not only over the strait but the adjoining island too.

Tokyo needs to start respecting this provable reality if it wants respect.

China never follows international law, it just makes up nonsense and claims everything under "historical rights".

I think there is more respect for Japan than China in the world.

Putin as a mediator??

Give me a break!! Yeah, when pigs fly!!

An unbiased report would state that this is an act of aggression by Japan.

Yeah, but from your past comments, it's only aggression.

You reap what you sow!!

Again?

But it's transparency!! The information is told to the public.

Compared to the country that stole technology from Japan and Germany and patented it as it's own.

Well it's hard for this POTUS to hang around when everyone can't stand him. Then showboating that only he could talk to Putin (not that anyone really cares).

What has he achieved since he came into office? Only mayhem and chaos!!

The ICE circus happening back in the US wouldn't be the same without the clown.

Basically, Trump couldn't face up to Zelensky with the other summit members in the room and push his 'Russia should be in this summit' narrative.

He just flew home, with his tail between his legs and achieved nothing, as usual.

China churns out warships like biscuits at a British tea party. The numbers don’t lie: China’s shipyards are booming.

Yeah, but China is known to churn out junk!!

Complaints often center on issues of quality, maintenance, and technological compatibility. Countries that have purchased Chinese equipment have reported difficulties in obtaining spare parts, and a lack of adequate support. 

Malfunctions, breakdowns, and even accidents, like the crashes of K-8W jets purchased by Venezuela. 

The Bangladesh military expressed concerns about the quality of Chinese-made weapons and the lack of after support. 

The RAND Corporation's report cited examples of faulty fighter jets sold to Nigeria and Myanmar. 

Pakistan encountered malfunctions with Chinese equipment, leading to increased costs and delays. 

The military in Myanmar found radar on JF-17 aircraft to be poorly accurate, and the aircraft itself lacking key features.

It would be a good idea to have clear guidelines that apply to China, Japan and the US operating in this area.

Pointless really, China wouldn't follow these guidelines and would make up some excuse as usual. Look at what is happening in the South China Seas, China has several disputes with countries in the region.

China won't even agree to a Code of Conduct with ASEAN!!

Usual "dragging it's feet" approach by China!!

The usual behavior of Chinese pirates and of course never taking responsibility for their actions!!

Keep embarrassing yourself China!!

Chinese pirates acting up again!! Not improving their image in the world's eyes!!

The Osaka Metro has some amusing manner posters too!

Their latest poster is keeping up with the times, especially with all the tourists and their suitcases.

The guy is a clown!

He has obviously lost the plot. He can't even make up his mind on what he is going to do!!

Only those with small minds and full of jealously about Japan's achievements would criticize this news!! Your home country may be older but unfortunately it doesn't have the respect it wants!!

China insisting on food safety protocols before letting foreign seafood swim onto dinner plates is terribly inconvenient. One might think they’re trying to protect their citizens or something equally egregious.

The nerve of China—making sure citizens aren’t served seafood with a side of isotopes.

China and Food Safety?? What a joke? Anybody with common sense knows these two things never go together. The joke is on the Chinese government, the Chinese who come to Japan continue to frequent the numerous seafood restaurants and ignore the trash talk of their own government.

The seafood being served with a side of isotopes, that's being done already to the Chinese citizens by their own government. Just allow the IAEA to test the waters around the numerous Chinese Nuclear Plants to confirm it!!

Exactly!!

Also, stop the empty promises!!

How is the progress with the seafood exports? China still dragging it's feet!!

When the importing starts, I will believe it!!

Otherwise, it's mere empty promises from the middle kingdom!!

There's a reason why still not easy to find rice being labeled as Fukushima despite Fukushima is among places where rice are being produced.

More fake news as usual!! As Wallace stated, check online!!

I visited the US Pavilion last week. There were 2 lines at 11:15am, attend the event in English (15 min wait), attend the event in Japanese (80 min wait). The video showing Americans eating American food was interesting, when apple pie and hot dogs were shown, surprisingly the room smelled like apple pie or a strong scent of vanilla.

In a larger room, it was visually stimulating standing under a space rocket and doing a countdown and then. . . . . (you have to go see it).

There is no limit to the idiocy of the clown in the White House❗

I was surprised to find them in Nara last Autumn while hiking one of Japan's oldest hiking trails "Yamanobe-no-michi". A local farmer had feijoas on display for sale at his trail-side store. Six for ¥200. The size was between an egg and a kiwi. They tasted like a mixture of a pineapple and guava. They were delicious and I'm looking forward to trying them again around November.

China do no harm so far.

China is causing major environmental problems around the world.

The specific details of how he violated the law in the country remain unknown.

He has had to wait over 3 years to be indicted by a Kangaroo Court!!

No details or evidence!

No access for the public!

This will be the last training for the next 5 years since Lee Jae Myung is scheduled to swear in on June 3rd and all exchanges stop at that point.

Usually ignore your predictions as they are always wrong. The last presidential election, you predicted that Lee would win by a landslide which he didn't.

You have no idea if Lee will cancel the bilateral defense cooperation.

Continue pulling on straws!!

China as usual has no shame! If you want respect, you have to show respect!

As Isabelle mentioned, everything was done lawfully on the Japanese side. It's just the belligerent bully in Asia that is causing problems for many countries around the world.
