The China State Post Bureau first
issues a 5,000-batch of single post card featuring Diaoyu Islands.
All the four pictures centred by the main island on the postal card
are shot by Diaoyu Islands defending activist Li Yiqiang in
early Jan. this year as he landed on the islands with another 19
activists.
The Diaoyu Islands, in the East China Sea between China
and Japan, have belonged to China since ancient times. The islands are 120
nautical miles northeast of Taiwan, 200 nautical miles west of the Chinese
mainland and 200 nautical miles east of Japan's southernmost island
Okinawa. [thebeijingnews]
