China called the region a new Japanese law on the use of the army abroad to the region

China declared a threat to the region the law adopted in Japan, which allows the use of the troops of the country's self -defense forces outside the national territory.

In connection with the adoption of the law, the Japanese military receive the right to act abroad for the first time since 1945, when Japan has surrendered as a result of defeat in the Second World War. In Tokyo, serious history lessons should remember, the Minister of Defense of China said shortly after voting in the parliament of Japan.

In recent months, the tension in relations between China and Japan intensifies against the background of a territorial dispute for a group of islands, the Russian Air Force service recalls.

Many Japanese adhere to the provisions of the pacifist post -war constitution of the country, which prohibited the use of self -defense forces created in 1954.

The initiator of the new law, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, explained that it is necessary in order to be able to answer new challenges, in particular to the threat from China.

In Japan itself, the decision was preceded by more than 200 hours of political debate, and the vote was postponed for several hours due to opposition protests, which tried to prevent the adoption of the law.

Between China and Japan there is a territorial dispute around the belonging of the islands of Senkaku (Diaoyudao). This group of uninhabited islands is under the control of the Japanese, but the PRC considers them its own unlawfully occupied territories after World War II. As expected, under the seabed around the islands, large volumes of natural gas and oil are lying.

The territorial dispute around the islands worsened in mid -2012, when the Japanese government announced the nationalization of Senkaku, having bought them from the family of owners. After that, massive anti -Sapon demonstrations, accompanied by pogroms, were held in the PRC.
