中日关系

对于中国东海上8个微小的无人居住的岛屿，中日之间长期存在的主权冲突已造成中国各地数十个城市的反日抗议活动，还有一些暴力。 争议来源于日本政府本月初准备把控制的三个最大的岛屿国有化，他们从一个私人的日本家庭用超过2500万美元购买。 岛群是由钓鱼岛及其附属岛屿组成，日本称为尖阁列岛，中国和台湾称为钓鱼台群岛，英语中叫品尼高群岛。 除了 民族自豪感之外，主要是这个地区潜在的巨大的天然气储量和捕鱼权的利害关系，中国的抗议游行是主张索回该岛屿，包含在家的示威游行，并对首要的日本挑衅做出强有力的回应。 A long-standing conflict over the sovereignty of a group of eight tiny, uninhabited islands in the East China Sea has resulted in dozens of anti-Japanese protests across China, some violent. The dispute came to a head after the Japanese government nationalized control of three of the largest islands earlier this month, purchasing them from a private Japanese family for more than US$25 million. The island group is called Senkaku Islands by the Japanese, Diaoyu Islands by the Chinese, Tiaoyutai Islands by Taiwanese, or the Pinnacle Islands by English speakers. Beyond national pride, potentially large gas reserves and fishing rights have raised the stakes, and China is now moving to assert its claim to the islands, contain the demonstrations at home, and respond forcefully to what it sees as a major Japanese provocation.? 36 photos （点击图片放大） An anti-Japan protester tears Japanese Rising Sun Flag during a rally outside the Japanese Consulate General in Hong Kong as they demanded that the Japanese government release Chinese activists arrested in Japan after landing on Uotsuri Island, one of the islands of Senkaku in Japanese and Diaoyu in Chinese.?(AP Photo/Kin Cheung) Uotsuri island, part of the disputed islands in the East China Sea, known as the Senkaku isles in Japan, Diaoyu islands in China, in the East China Sea, in this June 19, 2011 photo.
