Tensions concerning territorial disputes between China and Japan over the Diaoyu Islands have surged to a new high Wednesday, as Japanese authorities flagrantly arrested five activists from Hong Kong who had landed on one of the islands.
The Japanese side has staged a series of acts to "buy" China's Diaoyu Islands, but the country should be wary that its farcical ambitions may seriously damage China-Japan ties.
Analysts said Tokyo's political stance toward China's Diaoyu Islands will cast a shadow over relations between China and Japan.
Japan was urged to abandon its outdated foreign policy of leaning on the West and accept China as a key partner as important as the US.
