Hilarious stuff. Promoting free passage through international waters is promoting peace.

China getting it's knickers in a twist!!
So it's not okay for Japan to pass through the international waters of the Taiwan Strait but it's okay for China to enter the territorial waters of Japan around the Senkaku Islands.
Japan doesn't even protest when the Chinese navy routinely passes through the international waters of the Miyako Strait since 2020.
If China wants respect, it has to earn it!!

Normal, China is looking at trump inaction and take advantage as much as possible. Where will it end?

The Taiwan Strait is 70 nmi at the thinnest point. 12mile limit on each side means there are at least 46 nmi of international waters for any ships/aircraft to pass legally. That's Russian, Chinese, Taiwanese, Japanese, US, Australian, UK, Brazilian, Cuban and all the other countries that want to pass through there can do so by international treaty. Private vessels or military - doesn't matter.
China signed The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) the treaty in 1982. The CCP celebrated the 40th year of this treaty in 2022. So, China is being inconsistent every time they complain about almost anything in the Strait. Seems childish to the rest of the world.

Japanese ships are sitting ducks for PLA DF-17 missiles. China could easily destroy Japan's whole navy within a few days if it wanted to.
