Japan PM Abe warns China of force over islands landing
Chinese and Japanese surveillance ships are monitoring
each other closely
BBC
Tuesday, April 23, 2013
Japan would respond with force if any attempt is made to
land on disputed islands, PM Shinzo Abe has warned.
His comments came as eight Chinese government ships
sailed near East China Sea islands that both nations
claim.
A flotilla of 10 fishing boats carrying Japanese
activists was also reported to be in the area, as well as
the Japanese coastguard.
Mr Abe was speaking in parliament hours after dozens of
lawmakers visited a controversial war-linked shrine.
A total of 168 lawmakers paid their respects at the
Yasukuni Shrine, which commemorates Japan's war dead,
including war criminals, in a move likely to anger
regional neighbours who say the shrine is a reminder of
Japan's military past.
'Deal strongly'
The warning from the J
apanese prime minister was the most explicit to China
since Mr Abe took power in December, the BBC's Rupert
Wingfield-Hayes reports from Tokyo.
Asked in parliament what he would do if Chinese ships
tried to land on the disputed islands, Mr Abe said they
would be expelled by force.
Analysis
By Rupert Wingfield-Hayes
BBC News, Tokyo
The video pictures coming in from the islands today are
quite dramatic.
There are more ships than I have ever seen before during
one of these encounters - at least eight Chinese ships
and an equal number of Japanese coastguard cutters.
Sailing alongside, dwarfed by the larger ships, are 10
fishing boats flying the Japanese flag and carrying
right-wing Japanese nationalists from a group called
Gambare Nippon.
It is the sort of situation that could quite easily get
out of hand if, for example, the Japanese nationalists
try to land on the islands, or if the Chinese ships try
to board one of the Japanese fishing vessels.
China is now taking the position that its ships are there
protecting "Chinese" territory, and consequently have the
right to board any "foreign" vessels.
That may be why Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has
decided to be more emphatic in his warning to China,
making it explicit that if any of the Chinese vessels
attempt to land on Japanese soil, they will be repelled
with force.
He is laying down a clear line over which he hopes the
Chinese know they would be unwise to cross.
"Since it has become the Abe government, we have made
sure that if there is an instance where there is an
intrusion into our territory or it seems that there could
be landing on the islands then we will deal will it
strongly," he said.
The warning came as eight Chinese ships sailed around the
islands - called Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China.
The Japanese coast guard said it was the highest number
of Chinese boats in the area since Tokyo nationalised
part of the island chain in September 2012.
China said its ships had been monitoring Japanese
vessels. The State Oceanic Administration issued a
statement saying three of its ships had "found" several
Japanese ships around the islands and "immediately
ordered another five ships in the East China Sea to meet
the three ships".
Ten Japanese boats carrying around 80 activists arrived
in the area early on Tuesday, Reuters news agency
reported, monitored by Japanese Coast Guard vessels.
Public broadcaster NHK said the boats were carrying
"regional lawmakers and members of the foreign media".
Japan's top government spokesman said the "intrusion into
territorial waters" was "extremely regrettable". Japan
also summoned the Chinese ambassador to protest, reports
said.
The territorial row has been rumbling for years but was
reignited last year when Japan bought three of the
islands from their private Japanese owner.
China claims the island chain, which is controlled by
Japan. Taiwan also claims the islands, which offer rich
fishing grounds and lie in a strategically important
area.
Visits to Yasukuni Shrine by lawmakers anger Japan's
neighbours
The dispute has led to serious diplomatic tension between
China and Japan, most recently in January when Japan said
a Chinese frigate locked weapons-controlling radar on one
of its navy ships near the islands - something China
disputes.
'Backlash'
The visit to the Yasukuni Shrine on Tuesday by lawmakers
marking the spring festival is also likely to hit ties
between Beijing and Tokyo.
Two cabinet ministers, including Deputy Prime Minister
Taro Aso, visited the shrine on Sunday. Prime Minister
Shinzo Abe did not visit but made a ritual offering.
South Korea subsequently cancelled a proposed visit by
its foreign minister, while China lodged "solemn
representations" in response to the ministers' visit.
"Only when Japan faces up to its aggressive past can it
embrace the future and develop friendly relations with
its Asian neighbours," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua
Chunying said on Monday.
But Japanese lawmaker Hidehisa Otsujji said it was
"natural" for "lawmakers to worship at a shrine for
people who died for the nation".
"Every nation does this. I don't understand why we get a
backlash," he said.
