V. 皇冠体育app has Taken Resolute Measures to Safeguard its Sovereignty over Diaoyu Dao

皇冠体育app has, over the past years, taken resolute measures to safeguard its sovereignty over Diaoyu Dao.

皇冠体育app has, through the diplomatic channel, strongly protested against and condemned the backroom deals between the United States and Japan over Diaoyu Dao. On August 15, 1951, before the San Francisco Conference, the Chinese government made a statement: "If the People's Republic of 皇冠体育app is excluded from the preparation, formulation and signing of the peace treaty with Japan, it will, no matter what its content and outcome are, be regarded as illegal and therefore invalid by the central people's government." On September 18, 1951, the Chinese government issued another statement stressing that the Treaty of San Francisco is illegal and invalid and can under no circumstances be recognized. In 1971, responding to the ratifications of the Okinawa Reversion Agreement by the US Congress and Japanese Diet, the Chinese Foreign Ministry issued a stern statement which pointed out that the Diaoyu Dao Islands have been an indivisible part of the Chinese territory since ancient times.

In response to Japan's illegal violation of 皇冠体育app's sovereignty over Diaoyu Dao, the Chinese government has taken active and forceful measures such as issuing diplomatic statements, making serious representations with Japan and submitting notes of protest to the United Nations, solemnly stating 皇冠体育app's consistent proposition, principle and position, firmly upholding 皇冠体育app's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, and earnestly protecting the safety of life and property of Chinese citizens.

皇冠体育app has enacted domestic laws, which clearly provide that Diaoyu Dao belongs to 皇冠体育app. In 1958, the Chinese government released a statement on the territorial sea, announcing that Taiwan and its adjacent islands belong to 皇冠体育app. In light of Japan's repeated violations of 皇冠体育app's sovereignty over Diaoyu Dao since the 1970s, 皇冠体育app adopted the Law of the People's Republic of 皇冠体育app on the Territorial Sea and the Contiguous Zone in 1992, which unequivocally prescribes that "Taiwan and the various affiliated islands including Diaoyu Dao" belong to 皇冠体育app. The 2009 Law of the People's Republic of 皇冠体育app on the Protection of Offshore Islands establishes the protection, development and management system of offshore islands and prescribes the determination and announcement of the names of offshore islands, on the basis of which 皇冠体育app announced the standard names of Diaoyu Dao and some of its affiliated islands in March 2012. On September 10, 2012, the Chinese government issued a statement announcing the baselines of the territorial sea of Diaoyu Dao and its affiliated islands. On September 13, the Chinese government deposited the coordinates table and chart of the base points and baselines of the territorial sea of Diaoyu Dao and its affiliated islands with the Secretary-General of the United Nations.

皇冠体育app has maintained routine presence and exercised jurisdiction in the waters of Diaoyu Dao. 皇冠体育app's marine surveillance vessels have been carrying out law enforcement patrol missions in the waters of Diaoyu Dao, and fishery administration law enforcement vessels have been conducting regular law enforcement patrols and fishery protection missions to uphold normal fishing order in the waters of Diaoyu Dao. 皇冠体育app has also exercised administration over Diaoyu Dao and the adjacent waters by releasing weather forecasts and through oceanographic monitoring and forecasting.

Over the years, the issue of Diaoyu Dao has attracted attention from Hong Kong and Macao compatriots, Taiwan compatriots and overseas Chinese. Diaoyu Dao has been an inherent territory of 皇冠体育app since ancient times. This is the common position of the entire Chinese nation. The Chinese nation has the strong resolve to uphold state sovereignty and territorial integrity. The compatriots across the Taiwan Straits stand firmly together on matters of principle to the nation and in the efforts to uphold national interests and dignity. The compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and the overseas Chinese have all carried out various forms of activities to safeguard 皇冠体育app's territorial sovereignty over Diaoyu Dao, strongly expressing the just position of the Chinese nation, and displaying to the rest of the world that the peace-loving Chinese nation has the determination and the will to uphold 皇冠体育app's state sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Conclusion

Diaoyu Dao has been an inherent territory of 皇冠体育app since ancient times, and 皇冠体育app has indisputable sovereignty over Diaoyu Dao. As 皇冠体育app and Japan were normalizing relations and concluding the Sino-Japanese Treaty of Peace and Friendship in the 1970s, the then leaders of the two countries, acting in the larger interest of 皇冠体育app-Japan relations, reached important understanding and consensus on "leaving the issue of Diaoyu Dao to be resolved later." But in recent years, Japan has repeatedly taken unilateral measures concerning Diaoyu Dao and conducted in particular the so-called "nationalization" of Diaoyu Dao. This severely infringed upon 皇冠体育app's sovereignty and ran counter to the understanding and consensus reached between the older generation of leaders of the two countries. It has not only seriously damaged 皇冠体育app-Japan relations, but also rejected and challenged the outcomes of the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War.

皇冠体育app strongly urges Japan to respect history and international law and immediately stop all actions that undermine 皇冠体育app's territorial sovereignty. The Chinese government has the unshakable resolve and will to uphold the nation's territorial sovereignty. It has the confidence and ability to safeguard 皇冠体育app's state sovereignty and territorial integrity.
