Topic Reading-Vol.484-8/8/2013

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
China sails through 'first island chain'
It was of course reported in Japan too, that Chinese navy vessels passed through the Soya Strait and Miyako Strait in July but they weren’t linked as much as what China has announced.
They now believe that the so-called First Island Chained has been broken, which refers to the first major group of islands and the sea around them off the East Asian continental mainland, including the Japanese islands, Ryukyu Islands, China's Taiwan and the northern Philippines, so that they are now capable of sending and supporting its warships to fight in channels far from their mainland.
Enjoy reading and learning China’s views on maritime territory, naval aggression and national security against the U.S. and its allies.
