Why Japanese Government didn't send NAVY to that area yet? Communist China will occupy Senkaku Islands soon and later Okinawa will be Communist target. If PM Noda doesn't want to full confrontation with Communist China and then he should resign now. Let someone who really wants to protect Japanese sovereign territory to take over his position. When you face with Communist it's like a facing with Yakuza. They don’t care you’re peaceful person or not but they only interesting in bully and robbing. Now Communist China has 10 surveillance ships and 1000 fishing boats are coming. How many Nippon no Cost Guards are there now? You can’t apology later what you did. It’s not too late to send Navy ships now. A few Coast guard ships can’t stop 1010 Communist ships. Communist China has built new City on one of Philippine Islands this year. Now Senkaku Islands are in their sight.

No, Japanese Navy in the area will escalate things further, and any mishap involving Chinese casualties will be considered pretext for war which is want China is looking for. Don't call their bluff, remain calm. If 1000 ships cause damage to any Japanese assets, they will be considered the scum that they really are. As if they aren't already...

Communist Chinese, Russia and South Korea Government are intimidating Japan because of Japanese weak military power. They don’t respect Japanese sovereign territories at all. They refused to go via International Court‘s judiciary to sorting out dispute because they know what kind of result will be came out at International court. Japanese politicians and peoples must realize about current situation with neighboring countries. You want to live in peacefully but others don’t. What will you do bad guy comes to you? You have to prepare for to protect yourself. Strong military power needed for to protect sovereign land and territory of Japan and Japanese peoples. Developing Nuclear weapon for to protect nation from aggression by rouge state like Communist China and North Korea is inevitable situation for Japan. Japan has surrounded by hostile country like North Korea, Communist China, South Korea and Russia. No one will guarantee these rouge countries will not attack Japan one day. Japanese Government must prepare for it even if Japanese peoples are against it. UN is useless. UN couldn't sort out even Palestine crisis even though it has been half century now. Japan has to stand up its own feet but not with someone else help.

Japan should send an ice breaker to that area and ram all chinese boats.

They want to fish, that's for sure, hence the name. They just want to make a living, keep fishing, which they have been doing for hundreds of years, hence the islands have been in their maps for hundreds of years, that's why they didn't know they need any treaty or permit to fish there, such requests did come to sight very recently, say after 1895. You can only claim terra nullius when the terra is genuinely nullius, otherwise it's called an invasion. Chinese doesn't like war but never fail to defend. Stop saying the communist government whatsoever, you are stepping on a piece of beautiful jade of all Chinese people( from Mongolian to Japanese/Chinese, from Taipei to Houston).

An example: My shujin is Japanese, I'm swimming in East China Sea, an American came by boat took me to a chapel in Vegas and got "married", next day we settled in San Francisco, this marriage is void. My owner is still my husband, whatever tricks the late comer by sea made, it's not binding. What? Last resort to ICJ? No, thank you, I much prefer to go for honeymoon in Barcelona with my Japanese husband.

Relaxed? Ready for a deal? Then sit down and have a cup of tea, don't want to see any Americans at the table though.

Time for Japan to get rid of article 9 arm up and really scare the hell out of the paper tiger.

But if this goes down now the paper tiger known as China will sink faster than a rock.

Japanese coast guard should do as Russian do: shoot one or two chinese ships.

0 ( +2 / -2 )

Order them to stop, turn around and get out of Japanese territorial waters - if they refuse shoot and disable the boat, then board and impound.

That has been the protocol for centuries.

Sounds nice and simple. Do you know where your nearest air-raid shelter is?

Doesn't China have nuclear weapons and doesn't Japan have obsolete (leaking) nuclear reactors?

The US-Japan allaince was a rubbish is proven in here when China maritime survellience vessles is sailing representing the authority of PRC administration of the islets! Only people with naives mental might consider it is a shield against China! The 1000 Chinese vessels is coming within days! It was a pity the Japanese government is still hugging their 'myth'! I am sorry to see the dispute couldnt be solved in a 'gentlemen's way'!

" Order them to stop, turn around and get out of Japanese territorial waters - if they refuse shoot and disable the boat, then board and impound. "

Yes, but it is a tall order to board 1000 of those boats, filled with aggressive fisherman. Just look at the trouble even one of those guys gave them last year (when the government initially did not want to show the video).

But in principle I agree, the only way to stop a bully is to stand up to him, and China´s communist government is clearly the bully here.

If Japan has nuclear weapons and then Communist Chinese Government will not care to attack Japan. That's why North Korea and Iran are dying for Nuclear weapons. Only Nuclear weapons will keep war at bay in future.
