Three Chinese warships completed a 17-day circuit around the Japanese archipelago on Wednesday, following a route similar to one taken by Russian warships earlier in June.
Two Chinese guided-missile destroyers and a replenishment oiler steamed through the Miyako Strait, between Okinawa and Miyako Island, around 11 p.m. Wednesday, Japan's Joint Staff said in a news release Thursday. The Joint Staff confirmed the same ships were spotted June 12 starting a journey that took them past Japan's largest islands.
A flotilla of seven Russian vessels began a similar journey June 15, of which five completed a circuit around Japan on June 21, Japan's Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi said at a news conference June 22. Both the Chinese and Russian vessels effectively circumnavigated the Japanese archipelago, he said.
"The fact that about 10 Russian and Chinese ships sail around Japan on the same route in a short period of time is a display of the military presence of both countries around Japan," Kishi said in the news conference.

Evidently they are the good guys and are going to lead the world back to Christianity and end it’s corruption, throw in North Korea and Iran and they all make quite a team. We better not step out of line.
I'll bet the flotilla was three cruisers and frigates and four tugs. One ship broke down and one of the tugs towed it back to port.

Yep! Heh-heh!
I read the Herman Wouk books (”The Winds of War” and “War and Remembrance”) several years ago. Very good novels.
The TV miniseries of “Winds of War” could have been good had the utterly talentless Ali McGraw not been in it. What a horrible acting performance. The producers must have realized that as they replaced her character with Jane Seymour for “War and Remembrance.”
I can’t.
I’m on Jenny Craig.
Ali McGraw!
This has got to be driving the Japanese people crazy.
Do they want a return of a warlike Japan?
Yeah. That one too.

I also read both of these books and thought they were excellent!
Another Biden success story?
How do you spell intimidation?
Japan may have no choice but to be ready for war—that or become a client state of China. The Chinese still remember what happened at Nanking.
Japan ought to do some laps around Taiwan to piss off Xi.
China might just be showing off how much Russian fuel they can burn toodling around Japan.
Meanwhile, Japan is imposing a price cap on Russian oil:

Thank you Jao Bai-din.
They circled Japan with a fast attack submarine following their ass the entire time ready to send them all to Davey Jones locker.
