多名日本右翼分子非法登钓鱼岛

The Japanese flag flies on the disputed island in the East China Sea, just days after Japan arrested Chinese activists for landing on the island, a Japanese flotilla decided to do the same. Around nine activists from a group of more than 100 swam ashore and waved the Japanese flag. The island chain is the heart of a long-standing territorial roar between Tokyo and Beijing. Nona Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China, the area sits near potentially lucrative gas reserves. The Tipeta landing has raised tensions between Japan and China where rallying nationalist sentiment.

I was hoping that someone with a real sense of Japanese spirit and courage would go and land and raise the flag. I just feel they've done a good job.

After arriving back at their boats, the nine activists were questioned by Japanese Customs. The government had denied the group's permission to land. China had also urged the action be stopped. The dispute is one of many dogging diplomatic ties between Asian nations roaring over rival territorial claims.
