| Japan Recalls Beijing Envoy amid Territorial Row |
| 2012-07-16 |
| [An Nahar] Japan recalled its ambassador to China for consultations on Sunday amid a simmering row between the Asian powers over disputed territory in the East China Sea, reports said. Uichiro Niwa had returned to Tokyo for talks with Foreign Minister Koichiro Gemba on the latest developments in the dispute, they said. "I will report and have consultations" with Gemba, Niwa told news hounds as he arrived at the foreign ministry in Tokyo, according to Jiji Press. Niwa said it had yet to be decided when he would return to Beijing. "But I think I will have to return after finishing the talks," he was quoted by Kyodo News as saying. Gemba has denied the government was recalling Niwa in protest against China, insisting that his return home was for consultations, Japanese media reported. Japan last week lodged two separate complaints with Beijing after Chinese vessels entered resource-rich waters claimed by both Tokyo and Beijing near a group of islands known as Senkaku in Japanese and Diaoyu in Chinese. It also summoned the Chinese ambassador after the first incident. China, meanwhile, expressed its strong opposition to a Japanese plan to buy the islands from the family that Tokyo recognizes as the legitimate owner. Despite the importance of the two nations' trading ties, relations between Japan and China are frequently tense, particularly over the territorial dispute and Japan's war-time aggression in Asia. China has pressed its claim to waters far from its coast more energetically over the last few years as it has increased in both economic and military might. |

| #1 Rising China isn't gonna be directly or indrectly "contained/isolated" by the US- Allies widout a fight - its going to become assertive = MilPol aggressive all along the periphery of the "First Island Chain", "Second", + IOR. E.G. ITS NEW "SAMSHA/SAMSHE CITY" [floating province"] IN SCS = CHINA QUIETLY BUT FIRMLY OVERTLY T-E-L-L-I-N-G, N-O-T ASKING, THE PHIL + VIETNAM [ASEAN, NAM] THAT THE SCS IS "NOT THEIRS" FROM NOW ON. ANY + ALL CURRENT, FUTURE CLAIMS WILL BE DEALT THRU THE PLA ANDOR ITS CIVIE SUB-ENTITIES. IOW, don't physically or politically challenge, oppose, or otherwise denigrate China's territorial claims unless you are de facto willing to militarily fight for it. SHUT UP, BUTT OUT + STAY OUT OF CHINA'S TERRITORIES, OR FIGHT! Lest we fergit, 9-11 + WAR FOR OWG-NWO = WAR FOR ANTI-STATUS QUO = ... IFF YOU DON'T GET OUT OF THE WAY NICELY VOLUNTARILY, YOU WILL BE PHYSICALLY FORCED OUT THE WAY, VIOLENTLY ANDOR MORTALLY AS PERTINENT. I'm being nicey to Youse even though technically, legally, or morally, etc. speaking I don't have to be. I have every right to kill or destroy Youse, buy I'm not in a killing mood for the moment. |
