China had exercised valid jurisdiction over Diaoyu Dao for several centuries long before Japan’s so-called “discovery." In 1895, the Japanese government secretly incorporated the islands into its territory by using the advantages gained by the Sino-Japanese War. Japan claimed soveignty over Diaoyu Dao by considering it “terra nullius” (“land belonging to no one”) based on the “occupation” principle on international law. Japan’s such unlawful act is severely against principles of territorial acquisition in international law, which has no legal effect.Any unilateral step taken by Japan regarding Diaoyu Dao will not change the fact that it belongs to China. China remains dedicated to safeguarding and maintaining regional peace and order.The final , Justice triumphed over wickedness !!!!!!!!!
