Q: Japan showed to its Diet the video on the collision between the Chinese fishing boat and Japanese patrol vessels in the waters off the Diaoyu Island. How do you comment?

A: The Diaoyu Island and its affiliated islands have been China's inherent territory since ancient times. The patrol vessels of the Japan Coast Guard disturbed, drove away, intercepted, surrounded and held the Chinese fishing boat, which is illegal in itself and severely infringes upon China's territorial sovereignty and the just rights and interests of the Chinese fishermen. The so-called video cannot change the fact or cover the unlawfulness of the Japanese action.
