Recent developments in the Diaoyu Islands dispute have stoked jingoistic rhetoric in print and online, but netizens think someone has gone too far. Verified Weibo user @sunshineGaoyang, who identifies himself as the Editor-in-Chief of the CPPCC Journal: Cross-Strait Economic Cooperation Weekly and a “Taiwan expert” wrote a venomous anti-U.S. and anti-Japan post today. (Whether genuine or through a technical sleight of hand, this post already has about 1700 comments.)
sunshineGaoyang: I just heard the delightful news that the U.S. ambassador to Libya was killed. I hope this kind of attack on U.S. officials sweeps the globe! We can aim higher, too, like the U.S. president, the secretary of state, vice secretary of state and all department heads! Let’s move a united front against Japan and the U.S.!
阳光高杨：【刚才欣闻美国驻利比亚大使遇难，希望这样的针对美国官员袭击尽快席卷全球！还可以将袭击目标往上抬高些，比如美国总统、国务卿、副国务卿，以及各部长！】让全世界反美反日的人民行动起来！
