Russian and Chinese military activity around Japan increased in December. In late November, the air forces of Russia and China conducted joint flights over Japan's territory. These flights include Chinese and Russian bombers and fighters. China has also deployed its military vessels around Taiwan on a large scale. The security situation in East Asia is becoming increasingly tense as the year draws to a close.
[Statistical Data as of December 19]
Japan Coast Guard (JCG) daily updates the statistical data on the number of China Coast Guard vessels entering in the contiguous zone around the Senkaku Islands and intruding into Japanese territorial waters. The below is from the website of JCG.
