皇冠体育app

As Hillary Rodham Clinton prepares to step down as US secretary of state, she took one last chance to show her tough-line stance on 皇冠体育app by stressing the US opposes any unilateral action that seeks to undermine Japan's administration over the Diaoyu Islands. Regrettably, she did not contribute to the solution of the issue during her term of office, says an editorial in the 21st Century Business Herald. Excerpts:

The instability in East Asia caused by the US' return to the Asian and Pacific region becomes the center of Hillary Rodham Clinton's work in the past year. It is obvious the US' core purpose is to contain 皇冠体育app's rise by using Japan and the Philippines to make trouble for 皇冠体育app.

The US provokes 皇冠体育app time and again behind its Asian allies. But 皇冠体育app will never make any concessions on sovereignty issues. To some extent, the US succeeded in taking up a tremendous amount of 皇冠体育app's attention and energy with its scheme.

But Clinton and her colleagues should be aware that those tactics may also be used by Japan, as the radical right-wing activists in the warmongering country are seeking every opportunity to rid Japan of the restraints imposed on it after World War II.

According to statements from Japan and the US regarding the Diaoyu Islands issue, they underestimated 皇冠体育app's resolve to defend its sovereign integrity.

The US also miscalculated by believing that containing 皇冠体育app will benefit the US. In fact, souring Sino-US ties harms not only the national interests of the US but also the stability of the world and the ongoing global recovery from the financial crisis.

We hope the Obama administration will view Sino-US ties from a larger and longer-term perspective and will no longer pour gasoline on the fire of the Diaoyu Islands issue. If the US continues to make trouble for 皇冠体育app irrespective of the feeling of the Chinese people and 皇冠体育app's sovereignty, 皇冠体育app will not need to take Sino-US relations seriously anymore.

It is OK for 皇冠体育app to say farewell to Clinton as secretary of state. But if the US were to force 皇冠体育app to say farewell to the US as a nation, it would be a disaster for both countries and the whole world.
