9、andsIslands07-09-2012 18:20 BJTBEIJING, July 9 (Xinhua) - Here comes a new episode in Japans farcical ambitions to “buy“ the “Senkaku Islands,“ or Chinas Diaoyu Islands.This time, the Japanese government seems ready to take the place of Tokyo Governor Shintaro Ishihara and play a leading role in the
10、 drama, which will undoubtedly harm Sino-Japanese relations further.Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda told reporters on Saturday that hes considering “nationalizing“ part of the islands to strengthen Japans “control“ over them.The Japanese governments following suit with Ishihara, who initiated
11、 the farce in April, is no more than playing with fire regarding the sensitive issue of territorial disputes between China and Japan.Indisputable historical and jurisprudential evidence shows that “the Diaoyu Islands and their affiliated islets have been inherent parts of Chinese territory since anc

The Chinese government will continue to take necessary measures to resolutely safeguard its sovereignty,“ Liu pointed out.Disregardi

15、the passage of a tax hike bill to bolster the sluggish economy.The Japanese governments proposal to “buy“ the Diaoyu Islands at such a time will not only cater to the rising right-wing forces and help create “evidence“ for the countrys “control“ over the islands, but also serves to transfer the peop

On the contrary, the move will only do harm to bilateral ties as well as regional stability, and ultimately to Japans own interests.The importance of bilateral relations between China and Japan has been acknowledged by all parties. As Noda said during his visit to China at the end of last year, enha
