The japanese side claimed to have protested to the authorities this year, but did not respond. In response, the media commented that japan's recent “verbal intimidation” was a “soft eating of tomatoes”, and that officials of the authorities were appallingly afraid of mere verbal intimidation, suggesting that cooperation with the mainland could be considered。
According to taiwan's chinese times, on 20 december, the japanese read and sell news claim that taiwan's fishing vessels are “cross-border fishing” in the sea off the diaoyu islands, and that there has been a significant increase in the “invasion” of the so-called “japan's territorial waters”, and that the japanese coast guard this year warned that 310 taiwan's fishing vessels, three times as many as the previous year, would be withdrawn from the sea, and that the japanese ministry of foreign affairs protested to the taiwan side。
In response, the chinese times published comments that japan had recently expressed a great deal of opinion about taiwan and that, in addition to this matter, japanese officials had earlier claimed to have informed the world trade organization (wto) of the adoption of a “referendum” of food imports from taiwan in the nuclear disaster area against japan。

However, as of 20 december, the authorities in japan had not responded to the japanese claim that the fishing vessel was “cross-border fishing”, and the reaction to the anti-nuclear “referendum” by the authorities “minister of weife” in chen said that if japan claimed “we may lose”。
Earlier, the authorities had shown similar behaviour with regard to japan. In march of this year, a fishing vessel from taiwan was sprayed and intercepted by a fishing vessel of the japanese fisheries agency in the “black water trench” off the coast of su/a, and its crew almost returned to japan. In response to the japanese side, the “representative” of the taiwan authorities, xie changting, stated that it was necessary to increase awareness of taiwan's fishermen and to minimize the use of such gunfire。
In response to taiwan's performance, the review in the china times found that the thai authorities were timid by mere words and were unable to defend their interests with taiwan's newest public opinion, “unhappily”。
With regard to japan's intimidation of taiwan, the comment was that it was “the soft eating of tomatoes” and bullying the weak. The article suggested that officials of the authorities should not be discouraged from dealing with the day, that cooperation with the mainland could be considered and that, at least, tokyo should respond with the most timid attitude towards cooperation with the mainland, so that japan would not “eat enough”。
In the case of the diaoyu islands, in addition to the so-called “protest” to the authorities, the japanese side has made other moves, such as the request earlier this year for high school students to join the island as an “inherent territory” of japan。
However, the spokesman for the chinese ministry of foreign affairs had been inquiring about the fact that the island of diaoyu and its dependent islands had been an integral part of china's territory since ancient times, and that china's determination and will to preserve the sovereignty of the territory were unwavering. No matter what the japanese say or do, it will change the fact that the diaoyu islands belong to china. “we solemnly urge the japanese to face history and reality in order to educate the younger generation in the right sense of history and avoid creating new disruptions to chinese-japanese relations.”
