Chinese government releases statement on disputed island, sends ships to islands.

Damn, the Chinese don't sound like they will fuck around any longer. It should be noted from the statement, that the Chinese want peace with Japan but not at the expense of its own territory.

I wonder how this will go down.

it's all about the gas resources on those island..
but i don't think china will react with force

Both countries are in the midst of energy crises so it could be a powder keg.

Thanks for the pin...

could get ugly yes, i posted this yesterday

Thread: Japan to buy disputed islands, China angrily warn of "serious consequences"

Quick on the uptake, I got my source from breakingnews, I thought they were fast.

I guess we will just have to wait for Japans response.

Just found that:

China sends ships in islands row with Japan

not sure if it's about the same island

sorry for posting so often,

i read in german news now that the ships already arrived there and that it's about the same islands, they just call them differently in china and japan!

Absolutely nothing to apologize for my friend, thanks for the info! This just got interesting.

chinas news agency said the goal of sending those ships is to "ensure Sovereignty of the country"

Cayce said there could be a 3rd world war before the earth changes take place... China vs Japan could be a good start

They did this with the Philippines, if my memory serves me correct. I don't how Japan, a much stronger nation, will react.

HA pure BS, this is traditional Chinese opera.

yes, china said "we are prepared and ready for escalation" with the Philipines and there was a dangerous situation were chinese and philipine ships had a "stand off"

Kinda reminds me of the game

Operation flashpoint dragon rising. the ficional island of Skira.

only this time it was China vs Russia. And America as ally to Russia.


Trigger to WW3?.....

okey then what do you think china will do?
nothing? just let japan take those islands?

Viva CHINA! And chinese girls are hot, haiary and wet!! Japenese were the worst even compared to nazis.

It's not their territory.

Always thought this area was tied in with Taiwan.

Paraphrasing for them.

Western media picking up on it now.

Japan signs "islands-buying" contract amid China's strong protests

China urges Japan to immediately revoke its wrong decision and stop all actions that undermine China's territorial sovereignty. Otherwise, all consequences should be borne only by the Japanese side, Yang said.

Probably send some students to protest sorta things, Japan has occupied the island for a long time, they didn't do anything back then. Now the island suddenly became an issue, it's nothing but a nationalism campaign, grown up people won't buy into this. If Japan send warship to the zone,Chinese govermen can do noting about it but bitching...

hm but you know that china send two patrol ships?
don't you think that just a little misstake could start a conflict?

Japan shouldn't underestimate severity of Diaoyu Islands issue

The Japanese government has gone further on the Diaoyu Islands issue with a decision to "purchase" part of the islands. The move is extremely dangerous, and Japan has to fully understand the severity of its wrongdoing

Yeah, those ships just for show to me, Let'see anyway, my oppion is both Chinese and Japanese goverment will do anything to cool down the situation,you see they never send real military warship to the zone. When the tensions worn off things would go back to normal as usual.

i hope it will!
