中国钓鱼岛岂容他人肆意“买卖”
Chinese People, Gov't Together on DiaoyuIslands今年9月10日，日本政府宣布“购买”钓鱼岛及其附属的南小岛和北小岛，实施所谓“国有化”。日本政府的这一行径是对中国领土主权的严重侵犯，中国政府和人民对此表示坚决反对和强烈抗议。
Angered by Japan's so-called "purchase" of some of the DiaoyuIslands, a Chinese territory, people in China of various walks of life have expressed support for theChinese government in introducing countermeasures.
Despite strong warnings and opposition voiced by top Chinese leaders, the Japanese governmenton Tuesday signed a contract with the Kurihara family, which Japan claims is the "private owner" ofthe Diaoyu Islands.
"Our tolerance should not be met with cruelty. And we should call stridently for the Diaoyu Islandsand must not allow any country to forcibly occupy our territory," said a netizen nicknamed "Dingxinran" in a webpost.
Some people also posted online a Japanese map drawn by the Japanese military in 1876 to provethat the Diaoyu Islands don't belong to Japan.
"As a member of the Chinese nation, I resolutely and unconditionally support the Chinesegovernment's stance and countermeasures that aim to safeguard national dignity andsovereignty," said another netizen.
Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi said on Monday that China urges Japan to immediately revoke itswrong decision to "buy" the Diaoyu Islands and stop all actions that undermine China's territorialsovereignty.
Otherwise, all consequences should be borne only by the Japanese side, according to Yang.
On the same day, the Chinese government announced the base points and baselines of theterritorial waters of Diaoyu Islands, a move that further demonstrates China's sovereignty.
China's oceanic authority has recently improved its monitoring over far-sea territory includingthe Diaoyu Islands.
Gao Hong, an expert on Japan studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told Xinhua inan interview on Tuesday that China can use all necessary means to monitor the islands regularly, conduct patrols and offer protection to fishermen.
