According to China News Service, a magnitude 5.6 earthquake occurred in Hokkaido, Japan a few days ago. It is reported that the epicenter is located off the southern coast of Hokkaido, with a depth of 50 kilometers. Hokkaido Urakawa Town and Hokami Town have a strong quake of magnitude 4. In addition, many places including Sapporo City, Hakodate City, Aomori Prefecture and Miyagi Prefecture have varying degrees of quake. The earthquake did not trigger a tsunami.

Due to the recent continuous large-scale earthquakes in the waters near Hokkaido, Japan, the Japan Meteorological Agency stated that strong earthquakes may occur in the Thousand Island Trench and called on local people to "make daily earthquake prevention preparations." According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, at around 4 a.m. local time on June 2, a magnitude 6.3 earthquake occurred in the Hokkaido Yokoshi Sea, and obvious shaking with a magnitude 4 was observed in many places in Hokkaido. The news also pointed out that on May 31, a magnitude 6 earthquake had just occurred in the Kushiro Sea, about 100 kilometers northeast of the Tokashi Sea. In addition, on the Pacific side of Hokkaido, the Urakawa earthquake on May 23 and the southern earthquake in the Tokaka region on May 26 were observed.
Before this, a magnitude 6.7 earthquake occurred in the waters near Kyushu Island, Japan. Local residents said, "The tremor is very strong and it is almost difficult to stand." The earthquake occurred. Ms. Le, a Chinese tourist who traveled to Kyushu for the first time, took her children to wash up. She felt that the whole house was trembling. Although the earthquake did not cause casualties, it caused many netizens to worry. In response to this, the Japanese Meteorological Agency's investigation results show that the possibility of a major earthquake in the South China Sea Trough has not increased. However, the Japan Meteorological Agency said that the probability of a major earthquake in the South China Sea Trough is expected to occur in the next 30 years is 70% to 80%, and still urges the public to remain vigilant and emphasizes that earthquakes may occur at any time.

The Japan Meteorological Agency said that large-scale earthquakes may occur around the Qiandao Trench at any time, and called on the people to strengthen daily prevention. The Chinese Embassy in Japan once again reminds compatriots in Japan, especially tourists coming to Japan, to pay attention to preventing earthquake disasters: strengthen their own safety precautions, timely understand and master earthquake self-rescue knowledge, and appropriately reserve emergency supplies such as drinking water, food, disaster prevention and emergency supplies. Actively consider "Overseas Citizen Registration" through the "Chinese Consular App" in advance. Confirm the information of shelter in advance so that you can enter the shelter to take refuge as soon as possible after an earthquake or other disaster occurs. After the disaster occurs, only in the shelter can we ensure food, rest and communication, and it will also facilitate the timely contact of Chinese citizens in Japan.
The prophecy of Japan's "July 5 Doomsday Earthquake" was passed wildly, calling on local people to be prepared for protection. This prediction has caused many foreign tourists to cancel flights. The Japan Broadcasting Association reported on June 2: The Japan Meteorological Agency stated that a strong earthquake may occur in the Qiandao Sea Hook. Recently, there have been continuous earthquakes near Hokkaido, which seems to be unrelated. However, the earthquake of the Qiandao Sea Hook may occur at any time and is a large-scale earthquake. If a large-scale earthquake occurs in the Qiandao Sea Hook, one-third of Japan's territory will disappear.

The South China Sea Trough of Japan is the border of the Philippine Sea Plate and the Eurasian continental plate. In the areas from Honshu to Kyushu, Japan, with the movement of the plate, Japan's crust sinks by about 1 cm every year. Once the plate movement intensifies, as the plate breaks, it will lose some of the coastal cities at the least, and at the worst, it will sink as the plates fall. In addition to the South China Sea Trough, another place that brings strong earthquakes is located in the Qiandao Trench in Hokkaido. As early as the major earthquake in Japan in March 2011, Japanese experts discovered that the earth's crust movement was getting more and more intense, and the marine plates moved about 8 cm to the mainland plate every year. The geological state of the Thousand Island Trench is similar to the situation of a major earthquake in the area in the 17th century. Once the accumulated energy is released, it is enough to trigger a strong earthquake of magnitude 9 or above, and the probability of occurrence in the next 30 years is about 40%.
