Japan destroyer sails Taiwan Strait after China jet encounter
TOKYO (Kyodo) -- A Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force destroyer sailed through the Taiwan Strait last week, days after a Chinese fighter jet flew dangerously close to a Japanese patrol plane over the Pacific, diplomatic sources said Thursday. It was the third known passage through the waterway by an MSDF ship, with all occurring within the past year, apparently aimed at warning China, which continues to pressure Taiwan, the self-ruled democratic island it claims as its own. The Takanami entered the strait from the East China Sea on June 12 and spent more than 10 hours as it sailed toward the south, the sources said. After the transit, the destroyer headed to waters off the Philippines' main island of Luzon. The entire transit was tracked and monitored by the Chinese military, according to the sources. The Takanami conducted a joint maritime exercise with the Philippine Navy on Saturday in a South China Sea area the Southeast Asian country claims jurisdiction over, amid China's intensifying assertions in the waters. The Japanese government has typically refrained from sending MSDF vessels through the Taiwan Strait to avoid provoking China. But it has shifted its stance amid Beijing's growing assertiveness, joining ally the United States and others in asserting freedom of navigation in what they consider international waters. The latest transit came after Japan's Defense Ministry said that a Chinese J-15 fighter jet from the aircraft carrier Shandong approached as close as 45 meters to an MSDF P-3C surveillance plane over the high seas in the Pacific on June 7 and 8. The previous two transits took place in September last year and February this year. The Japanese government has not officially admitted to the activities.

Xi seeks Middle East cease-fire in phone call with Putin
KYODO NEWS - 3 hours ago - 22:08 | World, All Chinese President Xi Jinping called for a cease-fire amid Iran-Israel tensions during phone talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday, describing it as an "urgent priority," the Foreign Ministry said. Xi said the international community should make efforts to de-escalate the situation and that disputes should be resolved through negotiations rather than force, stressing the need to protect civilians, according to the Chinese ministry. In an apparent reference to the United States, Xi said "major powers that have a special influence on the parties involved in the conflict" should strive to cool down the situation, rather than the opposite, the ministry said. Putin expressed Moscow's readiness to mediate a possible settlement of the conflict, according to Russia's Tass news agency. Israel said last week that it had begun striking nuclear facilities and military targets in Iran, claiming that its regional archrival is nearing the acquisition of a nuclear weapon. The strike triggered retaliatory attacks from Tehran. Tensions in the region have been further fueled by speculation that U.S. President Donald Trump may join Israel in striking Iran. Xi specifically urged Israel to agree to a cease-fire as soon as possible to prevent further escalation, the Chinese ministry said.
