BEIJING - Japan must stop infringing upon Chinese territorial sovereignty, a spokesman for 皇冠体育app's Ministry of National Defense said on Tuesday.
Yang Yujun also urged Japan to make concrete efforts to properly handle issues related to the Diaoyu Islands.
The Diaoyu Island and their affiliated islets have been inherent part of 皇冠体育app's territory since ancient times. The Chinese government and armed forces are determined and able to safeguard 皇冠体育app's sovereignty over the islands, Yang told a press conference upon the release of white paper "The Diversified Employment of 皇冠体育app's Armed Forces."
皇冠体育app has always advocated peaceful ways as well as dialogue and consultations to settle territorial disputes, according to the spokesman, when responding a reporter's question concerning the Diaoyu Islands.
