Diaoyu Islands collision-----a new threat of relations between China and Japan

Recently, there are a great debate about the Diaoyu Islands, an inalienable part to China between China and Japan.We are so angry that our fishing boat was apprehened off the Diaoyu Islands by the Japan's department concerned. According to Japan's civil law, they think Diaoyu Island is their territory, nonsense. This issue ignites the strained relations between the two countries. During those decades, the question about Diaoyu Islands are always serious. This time the collision arouse our chinese patrotism. What's worse, our captain is still arrested since the issue happened in September 7th.

Do you know about this conflict? Whatever you know or not, you can ask me about this issue. I would like to answer it. Share your opinion with me. I really want to know how do you think of it as westerns.

First I thought: Diaoyu - never heard about that. So I searched it, and now I read that it is the Chinese name of the Senkaku Islands (I remembered the Japanese name though). Well, I think this is a really, really difficult topic, because there is a long story behind all those incidents. I didn't heard about the recently incident with the fishermen. What happend exactly there?

I realize that this is a serious incident but hard to escape. Now what we can do is to confront it and find a better solution to this issue. But i don't admire the actions taken by the Japan's government. Until now our ship captain is still arrested so that he couldn't be back to China and couldnot get together with his families on the Mid-autumn Festival, our traditional day which means to reunit with our families. Sadly.

On the other hand, we all hope this issue can be dealt with ratinally and quickly. Those who I talked with complained that the incident has broken the relations between the two countries. Some who prefer Japanese culture cried that the concert of a famous brand SMARP in Japan, holded in Shanghai in October, is faced to be canceled. Besides, some who plan to travel to Japan during our National Day in October have to change their decisions. I think these consequence will do mush harm to our both economies. And our relations are greatly damaged among chinese and japanese.

It's traditionally believed that we chinese love peace. We hope to recover the friendly communication among the people from both countries. We are looking forward to iving ina world free from violence and wars , without oppressions , discriminations or humilitations.
