IV. Japan's Claim of Sovereignty over Diaoyu Dao is Totally Unfounded

Japan's decision to "nationalize" the islands is ridiculous.

日本决定“国有化”钓鱼岛是的荒谬可笑的。

The activists' island adventure on one of the disputed islets, known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China, lasted less than half an hour before they were arrested by Japanese police.

香港活动人士在其中一个岛屿上的“探险活动”仅持续了不到半小时，他们就被日本警方逮捕了。上述争议岛屿日本称为“尖阁列岛”（Senkaku），中国称为“钓鱼岛”。

Japan has finger in my Diaoyu Island question;

日本染指我钓鱼岛问题；

On Tuesday morning, China's Vice Foreign Minister, Zhang Zhijun, held a consultation with him on bilateral relations, with particular focus on the tensions over the Diaoyu Islands.

周二上午，我国外交部副部长张志军与Chikao Kawai就两国双边关系，特别是双方因钓鱼岛事件导致的紧张关系进行了磋商。

The United States illegally included Diaoyu Dao under its trusteeship

Chinese media meanwhile kept up calls for solidarity over the Senkaku.

与此同时，中国媒体继续呼吁在钓鱼岛问题上同仇敌忾。

The banks'decision was made after bilateral relations between China and Japan became strained, after the Japanese government announced its decision to "purchase" the Diaoyu Islands last month.

自上月日本宣布“购买”钓鱼岛事件后，导致中日关系紧张，数家中国大型银行决定不出席IMF年会。

As heightened tension became a feature of 2010, Japan was taken aback by what it felt was aggressive Chinese action over islands known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China.

紧张局势升级成为了2010年的一个特征，中国对日本称尖阁列岛（senkaku）中国称钓鱼岛的争议岛屿采取的攻击性举动令日本十分惊讶。

Any such clash would probably draw in the US, which has made it clear that the islands are covered by the US-Japan security treaty.

中日武装冲突很可能会把美国“拉下水”，因为美国已明确表示，钓鱼岛是《美日安保条约》（us-japan security treaty）的适用对象。

Beijing and Tokyo have clashed repeatedly in recent months over the Senkaku islands-which China calls the Diaoyu-in the East China Sea which Japan has administered since 1895.

在日本从1895年起管辖的东海尖阁诸岛（Senkaku islands）——中国称为“钓鱼岛及其附属岛屿”——问题上，中日两国在近几个月里多次发生争执。

China's patrol and law enforcement in waters off the Diaoyu Island is an exercise of its inherent rights.

中方在钓鱼岛海域巡航执法是行使本国固有权利。

Diaoyu Dao was returned to China after the Second World War

二战后钓鱼岛归还中国

China holds claim to the Japanese-controlled Senkaku islands in the East China Sea, known in Chinese as the Diaoyu.

中国声称拥有东中国海（East China Sea，中国称东海）钓鱼岛主权。该岛为日本所控，在日本叫尖阁列岛（Senkaku）。

The announcement of the new air zone could aggravate the already tense dispute with Japan over the islands in the East China Sea, known as the Senkaku in Japan and the Diaoyu in China.

划设防空识别区可能加剧中日之间围绕东海这个群岛本已十分紧张的争端。该群岛在日本被称为尖阁诸岛（Senkaku），在中国被称为钓鱼岛及其附属岛屿。

The Chinese government has issued a white paper on Diaoyu Islands Tuesday.

中国政府在周二时候发布钓鱼岛白皮书。

The SOA announcement details the exact longitude and latitude of the Diaoyu Island and 70 of its affiliated islets while publishing location maps, 3D effect graphs and sketch maps for the Diaoyu Islands.

国家海洋局声明了钓鱼岛详细精确的经纬度以及它的70个附属岛屿，同时发布了位置地图，3D效果图以及钓鱼岛的草绘地图。

China sent two maritime surveillance vessels close to the Japanese-controlled disputed Senkaku islands yesterday, writes Kathrin Hille.

中国昨天派遣两艘海监船驶近日本控制、但存在争议的尖阁诸岛（Senkaku Islands，中国称“钓鱼岛及其附属岛屿”）。
