中国艦隊が日本周回　沖縄北上し東シナ海へ―防衛省

　防衛省統合幕僚監部は３０日、中国海軍の艦艇３隻が沖縄本島と宮古島の間を北に航行するのを確認したと発表した。１２日に対馬海峡を通過した後、約３週間かけ日本を１周した形になる。
　同省によると、３隻はレンハイ級駆逐艦などで、２９日夜から３０日にかけ同区間を通過し、太平洋から東シナ海に入った。
　３隻は対馬海峡から日本海に入り、津軽海峡や宗谷海峡を抜けて太平洋を房総沖へ航行。２１日に伊豆諸島を西進した後、沖縄南方で訓練をしていたとみられ、海上自衛隊が監視を続けていた。（2022/06/30-20:59）

Three Chinese naval ships have circumnavigated the Japanese archipelago over three weeks, the Japanese Defense Ministry's Joint Staff said Thursday.
   The ships, including a Renhai-class destroyer, were spotted sailing north between the southwestern islands of Okinawa and Miyako from Wednesday night to Thursday to enter the East China Sea from the Pacific.
   The three had entered the Sea of Japan after passing through the Tsushima Strait between the Kyushu southwestern island and the Korean Peninsula on June 12.
   They then traveled to the northern island of Hokkaido. One of them passed through the Tsugaru Strait between the Honshu and Hokkaido islands and the other two through the Soya Strait between Hokkaido and Russia's Sakhalin, before all three entered the Pacific.
   The three sailed south off the Pacific coast of Honshu to waters off the Boso Peninsula near Tokyo before being found traveling west near the Izu island chain June 21. Later, they are believed to have conducted drills off Okinawa Prefecture.
