China and Russia's first-ever act makes Japan and South Korea nervous; Putin's attitude to Taiwan

On October 18th, 10 Chinese and Russian warships crossed the Tsugaru Strait between Honshu and Hokkaido. It's the first time Japan has seen Russian and Chinese warships crossing the Strait simultaneously. It has made Japan, and perhaps South Korea, nervous. "Japan's Maritime Self-Defence Force yesterday on October 18th confirmed that five Chinese naval ships and five Russian naval ships sailed the Tsugaru Strait moving east towards the Pacific Ocean." "It’s the first time for Chinese and Russian naval ships to sail the Tsugaru Strait together, as you (media) have pointed out. The Japanese government has a strong interest in the activities of Chinese and Russian naval ships around Japan, so we are closely monitoring."
