China assessed Russia's reaction to Japan's provocation near the Diaoyu Islands

Russia stood up for China after Japan's provocation near the Diaoyu Islands. This was reported on March 22 by the Chinese edition of Sohu.

A few days ago, a Japanese fishing vessel approached the islands, and the coast guard intervened. Journalists regarded this as a provocation against the background of a meeting between Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and Trump.

"Russia behaved harshly. MiG-31 fighters with Kinzhal hypersonic missiles were lifted into the air and sent to patrol the Sea of Japan," the authors of the material said.

It is specified that this step was regarded as a response to Tokyo's provocations.
