Chinese State newspaper Global Times in its frontpage editorial Friday said military clash between rivals China and Japan is more likely to take place.
New Delhi, Jan 11/Nationalturk – In what may be not a good news for peaceniks, Chinese State newspaper Global Times in its frontpage editorial Friday said military clash between rivals China and Japan is more likely to take place.
“China and Japan may stand at a turning point that leads to confrontation over Diaoyu Islands. The resentment toward each other has come to the highest level since World War II. The Sino-Japanese relationship is looking dim,” Global Times frontpage editorial reads.
Both China and Japan have staked claim on Diaoyu Islands and both the nations say the island belongs to their territory.
The Chinese newspaper editorial says Japan has mistakenly estimated China’s strategic stance toward constant external provocations. “A year ago, Japanese politicians wouldn’t have thought that China would send fighter jets. Some Japanese believed China had to be restrained at any costs to ensure a peaceful period of strategic opportunities. But the fighter jets yesterday proved them wrong.”
How far Diaoyu crisis goes depends on Japan
It said how far the Diaoyu crisis goes depends on whether Japan is just putting on a show by intercepting China’s military aircraft or it really wants to confront China. “If it chooses the latter, then it is choosing a military clash.”
The newspaper said Chinese society is tired of simple verbal protests toward Japan. “The Chinese people hope the country will carry out actions against Japan’s provocations. China’s sending fighter jets to the islands reflects Chinese public opinion.”
“A military clash is more likely to take place between China and Japapn. We shouldn’t have the illusion that Japan will be deterred by our firm stance. We need to prepare for the worst,” it said.
Stating that China and Japan are likely to become long-term rivals or even enemies, the Global Times editors further reads, “Japan has become the vanguard of the US’ strategy which aims to contain China.”
“China should have the courage to face military confrontations with any rival when provoked. At the same time, we should remain cool-headed,” it added.

All asian people should remember the 2nd world war that the devastation, catastrophe, massacres how Japanese did to us , they should be rependent their history, this is the shame, evil act that happened in the history.
Japanese is the worst kind of people in the world,China no longer as weak as before, they should go to showdown with Japan to pay off the 2nd world war that 30 lifes been killed by them.
It will be a showdown for China to take the military action against Japan. In the past China had been bullied by Japan especially 2nd world war, we need them to pay-off 30 millions Chinese lifes that were killed, I don’t like Japanese, they are too arrogant and their mind all are pervert.
China must be stopped now. They are the most hated nation on earth. Japan will quickly turn their factories into hi-tech killing machines and with the Us, Canada, Australia, India, Vietnam, Philippines and just about everyone else, China is finished. Goodbye China, goodbye blood sucking greedy Chinks!!
India should help too as it has border conflict with China as well, and his interest in South East Asia is being threatened too.
