Japan scrambles fighter jets to head off Chinese plane

China, still playing games.

There goes Japan again making a BIG DEAL defending a territory they stoled from China.

Remember this 2001 incident?

Now China is doing the same thing.

China, still playing games.

Japan is so naughty to play with Russia and China together!

This should be made into a sequal of the "Never ending story". Okay kids, lets share and play together..... don't fight over toys or hit each other. That was taught since kindergarten, still politicians don't learn.

Just nite that the Abe Government brought it upon themselves. For those who refuse to learn and recognize history and continue to insist that they did no wrong they deserve nothing less than a nuclear-damaged country.

China keeps pushing the envelope just to see just how far the rubber band will stretch before it breaks. Those dogs will not stop! They want an incident to cry foul, and then get what they have set out to get all this time. It is so apparent, it is almost funny. Those readers who keep making the same old repetitive Chinese crap about Japan pushing the Chinese, well I do not see Japan encroaching into Chinese airspace, or entering into their territorial waters! It is China who is the provocateur, and China who is bullying Japan as we’ll as several other Asian nations, and it is China who is the resource hungry state! Those who comment and condemn Japan are those who tuck their little red book under their pillows. In their minds it is China right or wrong, however, it is only in their minds! Anyone who writes the unleashing of atomic weaponry was what Japan deserved is like me saying I am glad that perhaps 90% of all Chinese live below the poverty level, and earn only 5 US dollars a month, that their cities are so polluted at time you cannot see your hand in front of your face, and upper respiratory disease are on the rise. That tainted food produced by the Chinese and for the Chinese are killing them, is I guess what I should be writing, let us hope it continues, pretty soon…No more Chinese! Japan is only showing what every sovereign nation must do, to ward off aggression, and the Chinese are clearly the aggressor!

And the PRC continues to test Japan's reaction, invasion coming and the end of the PRC.

Mr Fredrick Shapiro

Sir! According your post, I like to debate something about your information and statics.

China keeps pushing the envelope just to see just how far the rubber band will stretch before it breaks.

In fact that news is same old story. Since late 1960s, PRC and Taiwan ships have come and go as they please. Some planes might have already done it before. It was not a publicity and media interest until 2009. When you look at the map, that islets are extremely close to Taiwan. Closer to mainland PRC rather than mainland of Japan. Of course pro Japanese posters will argue it is closer to Okinawa chain Island. If we follow all the dots of Okinawa chain, it will reach to Hainan Island. Is Hainan also part of Okinawa? Okinawa by itself invaded and annexed by Japan in late 19th century. Okinawans themselves do not agree that islets is part of Japan. Japan is legally administrator like trustee waiting for the settlement of outcome. US does not admit that Japan is a legal owner. It has asked Japan to administer the islets in 1972 as care taker before the possible resolution from all parties.

Those dogs will not stop!

If the dogs from other side of the fence bark, it is sensible that other dogs will bark too. Japan is the one to provoke the issue for getting inflammation. As a administrator or care taker they have breached the trust of claimants. According the 1951 Taipei treaty with US witness, Taiwan has more moral high ground for claiming as sovereign.

I do not see Japan encroaching into Chinese airspace, or entering into their territorial waters!

Not may be PRC! However Japan has already intruded and stole the land and fishing rights from Taiwan.

Those who comment and condemn Japan are those who tuck their little red book under their pillows. In their minds it is China right or wrong, however, it is only in their minds!

It is extreme hatred post and nothing remote about the territory issue. Little red book was a symbol of destructive cultural revolution and distant history of capitalist PRC. Today PRC GDP is 7.5% and foreign reserve is 3.5 trillions. If 90 % of Chinese live in less than $ 5 a month, how can they survive for food, clothing and housing? Even Uganda one of the top 20 poorest nations on that earth earn more than $ 5 a month. They earn $1.25 a day. Exaggeration and fabrication statics.

Could you show me the link about that post? If someone who can not see their hand, how could they drive the car, plane and ship? How can they travel on the road?

I am glad that perhaps 90% of all Chinese live below the poverty level, and earn only 5 US dollars a month,

I am glad that PRC citizens touring the world with luxury cruises.PRC is no 1 tourism market for the world. How on earth they could afford to travel oversea if they earn less than $5 a month?

That tainted food produced by the Chinese and for the Chinese are killing them, is I guess what I should be writing, let us hope it continues, pretty soon…

PRC imported milk power from NZ and some Cans are tainted too. Contaminated food is everywhere not only in PRC.

No more Chinese! Japan is only showing what every sovereign nation must do, to ward off aggression, and the Chinese are clearly the aggressor!

In Yokohama, there are plenty of Chinese Japanese. PRC population 1.3 billion. Oversea Chinese Diaspora population 75 billions. Due to that demographic factor, it will be extremely hard for becoming the "no one left policy" of the entire population of Chinese race. Keep dreaming for possibility after millions and millions of years. Whatever Japanese authority is pretending as touch guys, Japan is a pacifist nation not for aggression according the article 9 of constitution. Changing constitution will take time and it will not happen overnight. Abe used to talk touch. However he has no gut to show with the action so far.
