Following the Japanese government's announcement on the so-called "nationalization" of the Diaoyu Islands, China's civil patrol ships Tuesday reached the waters around the islands to start patrolling and showing China's sovereignty over these islands.

The patrolling, which is a slap in the face to Japan's plot to "nationalize" the Diaoyu Islands, demonstrates the Chinese government's firm and unshakable determination to safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity.[Read More]
