But the latest dispute with Japan--and the ensuing protests in China--has raised tensions to their highest level in years. Japan's agreement to buy some rocky islands, claimed by both countries, from their private Japanese owner prompted sometimes violent demonstrations in dozens of Chinese cities. On September 14th six unarmed Chinese patrol boats navigated briefly into Japanese-administered waters around the disputed rocks, which Japan calls the Senkaku islands and China calls the Diaoyus. Into this melodrama stepped the American defense secretary, Leon Panetta. He stopped in both countries, urged both sides to get along better and affirmed America's pledge of mutual defense with Japan--though an unnamed senior American military official stage-whispered to the Washington Post that America wouldn't go to war "over a rock". China, however, has chosen to take the matter of the islands rather more seriously. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
