“We must get ready militarily,” said Maj. Gen. Luo Yuan. “When necessary, we should designate the Diaoyudao area as a military exercise zone, or missile test zone.
“The next step should be taken when our strategic strength has accumulated enough to take the islands once and for all.”
“Japan is using the Diaoyudao issue as an excuse to serially provoke China,” insisted another army strategist, Maj. Gen. Peng Guangqian.
"We should unite all the righteous anti-fascism forces worldwide to deal Japan a blunt blow for its challenge to international justice,” said Gen. Peng, evoking rhetoric similar to that used more than half a century ago.
Air Force Maj. Gen. Qiao Liang said the Diaoyudao spat between China and Japan is a U.S. plot to keep China buried in regional conflicts with neighbors so it will lose its current strategic opportunity for development.
Vice Adm. Zhao Yingfu, formerly the commissar to the South Sea Fleet, urged a multipronged struggle against Japan.
He laid out a three-stage maritime strategy on the Senkakus: China first sends fishing vessels to the Senkakus, followed by China’s maritime surveillance and maritime safety vessels, and then naval vessels should get into the area quickly.
“We are not afraid of firing shots,” the admiral said.
In an odd twist, the most prominent name mentioned in China regarding the recent wave of anti-Japanese protests is a Japanese porn star who may prove to be the most significant bridge between the two Asian nations in their increasingly tense bilateral relations.
She is Sora Aoi, a 28-year-old idol of fans of adult films, known in Asia as the “Pink Film,” or AV.
In a country obsessed with pornography, many Chinese know Miss Aoi better than they know any other Japanese, past or present. Her name became as eye-catching as “kill-all-Japanese” banners carried in last week’s demonstrations across China.
