US lagging Australia on West Philippine Sea stance, Japan warns Beijing will pay 'high cost'
"US congressman Joe Courtney to praise Australia's actions against the Chinese Communist Party. In glowing praise from the congressman, who is also a member of the Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee in Washington, Mr Courtney claimed the US must now follow in Australia's footsteps."
"Japan now follows the US to condemn Beijing's moves to claim sovereignty over large sections of international waters.
Usually, Japan is not as vocal as other nations about China's interests in the South China Sea, but the latest outburst from Tokyo as ignited fury from Beijing. Japanese Defence Minister Taro Kono said: "Anyone who is trying to change the status quo by force needs to be forced to pay a high cost." Mr Kono said China's building of fortified installations across the South China Sea is "destabilizing".
He added: "A free and open maritime order in the South China Sea is as important as any other place and what happens there will concern the international community"."
