BEIJING, MAY 24 – Chinese and Russian military jets flew jointly over the Sea of Japan and the East China Sea, while the leaders of the Quad block – Japan, the US, India and Australia – met in Tokyo to discuss regional security. The Japanese Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi reported this, stating that Tokyo has expressed its “grave concerns” to the two countries. The Global Times, a Chinese tabloid, wrote that the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) sent more warships to the key straits near Japan (Tsushima and Miyako) “in response to US provocations and Japanese remarks.” (HANDLE).
