China rejects any representations assuming Diaoyu Islands as
Japan's territory
China won't accept any representations from the Japanese side assuming that the Diaoyu Islands are Japan's territory, Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Jiang Yu said at a regular press conference in Beijing Tuesday.
"The Diaoyu and surrounding islands have been Chinese territory since ancient times, and China owns indisputable sovereignty over them," Jiang said.
She made the remarks when commenting on the investigative activities of some Chinese ships in the areas recently.
