Anniversary 'ruined' by illegal isles purchase
NEXT week's 40th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic ties between China and Japan has been ruined by Japan's illegal purchase of the Diaoyu Islands, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said yesterday.
"Previously, all concerned in China and Japan hoped that through this (anniversary) they could further advance relations between the two countries," ministry spokesman Hong Lei told a daily news briefing.
"But due to Japan's erroneous action of illegally buying the Diaoyu Islands, many plans have been ruined, and currently many activities have been affected. The culpability lies entirely with Japan."
When asked about current China-Japan economic and trade relations, Hong said that obviously economic ties had been affected.
Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda, who was re-elected ruling party leader and government chief yesterday, said Japan needed to act firmly but maintain calm in dealing with security challenges.
"Unfortunately there are concerns with regard to security and diplomatic issues. The important thing is to assert ourselves firmly from now on and make no concessions," Noda told ruling party lawmakers before the vote without specifically mentioning the islands.
"At the same time we will steer diplomatic policy calmly and with a comprehensive view, without provoking or responding to provocation."
