Japan will be responsible for the consequences for any "friction" resulting from its disturbance of China's normal law enforcement activities around the Diaoyu Islands, a Chinese official said yesterday.
"Japan must take all consequences should any friction (with China) take place, because Japan insists on wrong deeds on the Diaoyu Islands issue, even using vessels and planes of Japan's Self-Defense Forces to disturb normal law enforcement by China's vessels and planes," Lyu Xinhua said.
Lyu, spokesman for the annual session of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), said China, as a peace-loving country, will not cause any troubles, "nor will it be afraid of any trouble-makers."
"China is willing to get along peacefully with all countries including Japan, but we have our principles and baselines," Lyu said in Beijing.
He said China has not changed its stance to develop Sino-Japan relationship under the principles signed up to by the countries.
However, "we will never recede on issues related with China's territorial sovereignty," he said.
He urged Japanese leaders to stop making irresponsible remarks and make substantial efforts in improving the relations between the two countries.
"What is important is that Japan must stop any activities that do harm to China's sovereignty over territory," Lyu said.
Lyu said the Diaoyu Islands are China's inherent territory and the Japanese side has no rights to "trade" China's territory.
