Japan, the United States, and South Korea held the “Freedom Blade” joint military exercise in the East China Sea on the 7th, which will continue until the 11th. Related developments have sparked protests from Japanese civil society groups. Japan's Jiji Press quoted information from the Joint General Staff and Supervision Department of Japan's Ministry of Defense as saying that in this joint military exercise, in addition to Japan sending the Aegis “Atago” and P-1 patrol aircraft, the three countries will also use equipment such as ships and fighter jets. Joint military exercises will be carried out around various fields such as naval and air warfare, space, and networks, and promote the expansion of integrated air defense and anti-missile cooperation. According to the Japan Broadcasting Association, this is the fourth time that the three countries have held a “Freedom Slayer” joint military exercise. The scale of the joint military exercises between the US and South Korea was reduced last month, and the three countries hope to reconfirm their cooperative relationship through this military exercise. The military exercise sparked opposition from the Japanese public. On the evening of the 7th, a Japanese civil society group organized a protest in front of the Ministry of Defense in Tokyo. The group issued a statement saying that such military exercises “will push military tension in East Asia to the limit and are extremely dangerous actions”; they must oppose related actions and jointly build peace in East Asia.
