BEIJING — Around 1,000 Chinese fishing boats are expected to arrive in waters near the Senkaku Islands claimed by China later Monday, the state-run China National Radio reported, in what may be Beijing's additional countermeasures over Japan's nationalization of the islets.

If a large number of Chinese vessels intrude into Japanese territorial waters around the Japanese-controlled islands in the East China Sea, it could trigger unexpected incidents such as clashes with Japan Coast Guard patrol ships, further escalating tensions between the two countries.

The radio station said in an online edition that Chinese fisheries authorities will monitor the fishing boats' activities near the uninhabited islets, which Beijing calls Diaoyu, via a marine observation satellite.

The 1,000 boats from coastal provinces such as Zhejiang and Fujian may be joined by six Chinese surveillance ships that have been staying in nearby waters since intruding into Japanese territorial waters near the islands Friday.

Meanwhile, anti-Japan protests continued in Beijing for the seventh straight day on Monday, but were much smaller than the mass demonstrations — some violent — that took place across China over the weekend.

As police tightened security around the Japanese Embassy, about 200 people on Monday marched on a street in front of the embassy, protesting the Japanese government's announcement on Tuesday last week that it put the islands under state control by signing a purchase contract with the owner of three of the islands, a Japanese individual.

Some of the protests on Saturday and Sunday involved vandalism, looting and arson targeting Japanese factories, stores and restaurants operating in the country.

Anti-Japan protests are likely to continue up to the 81st anniversary on Tuesday of the start of the 1931 Mukden Incident, also known as the Manchurian Incident, in which the Imperial Japanese Army blew up a Japanese railway in southern Manchuria to serve as a pretext for invading northeastern China.

Japan maintains the Senkaku Islands are an integral part of Japanese territory and that there are no territorial disputes between the two countries. Taiwan also claims sovereignty over the islands, which are known as Tiaoyutai to the Taiwanese.

The real bad guy in all of this is really the governor of Tokyo. He is bat $hit insane and a mega racist. The Japanese government bought the island to prevent him from buying it and putting cartoonish laser guns on it.
 
1,000 boats? That´s a lot.
How many patrol ships does Japan Coast Guard have around the islands? Anyone knows?
 
CCP is going to war with civilian boats as cannon fodder :taz:
It's a move to assert sovereignty, demonstrating that the boats are fishing within Chinese water. You don't think we have government ships and naval vessels nearby in case the Japanese try anything?
 
These two countries have history of conflict .. Expect the unexpected
 
And still chinese here say that they are not aggresive.. :disagree:

Japan too should take the aggressive stand and call the chinese 1000 ships == one Us aircraft carrier, for fishing.. Just to show that they fishing in the Japanese water.. Both side will be happy and war can be stopped with this step..

Japan started this whole crisis by making a move to "nationalize" the island, and yet we're aggressive for asserting sovereignty? You must think Nehru was super peaceful guy with his non-aggressive forward policy that got your *** whooped in 1962. If Japan hadn't made any move, Chinese government wouldn't be forced to act. We were quite happy to ignore that rock as long as the Japanese did the same.

Chinese CCP propaganda at its best, They got kicked out of these ISland by Japan and now they are trying these tactics. Looks like if CCP is allowed to do these kind things one day they will say South China sea belongs to them and every one should have CCP permission to navigate through it.
