Chinese State newspaper Global Times in its frontpage editorial Friday said military clash between rivals China and Japan is more likely to take place.<\/h1>\n

New Delhi, Jan 11\/Nationalturk – In what may be not a good news for peaceniks, Chinese State newspaper Global Times in its frontpage editorial Friday said military clash between rivals China and Japan is more likely to take place.<\/p>\n

\u201cChina and Japan may stand at a turning point that leads to confrontation over Diaoyu Islands. The resentment toward each other has come to the highest level since World War II. The Sino-Japanese relationship is looking dim,\u201d Global Times frontpage editorial reads.<\/p>\n

Both China and Japan have staked claim on Diaoyu Islands and both the nations say the island belongs to their territory.<\/p>\n

The Chinese newspaper editorial says Japan has mistakenly estimated China’s strategic stance toward constant external provocations. \u201cA year ago, Japanese politicians wouldn’t have thought that China would send fighter jets. Some Japanese believed China had to be restrained at any costs to ensure a peaceful period of strategic opportunities. But the fighter jets yesterday proved them wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0How far \u00a0Diaoyu crisis goes depends on \u00a0Japan<\/h2>\n

It said how far the Diaoyu crisis goes depends on whether Japan is just putting on a show by intercepting China’s military aircraft or it really wants to confront China. \u201cIf it chooses the latter, then it is choosing a military clash.\u201d<\/p>\n

The newspaper said Chinese society is tired of simple verbal protests toward Japan. \u201cThe Chinese people hope the country will carry out actions against Japan’s provocations. China’s sending fighter jets to the islands reflects Chinese public opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA military clash is more likely to take place between China and Japapn. We shouldn’t have the illusion that Japan will be deterred by our firm stance. We need to prepare for the worst,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

Stating that China and Japan are likely to become long-term rivals or even enemies, the Global Times editors further reads, \u201cJapan has become the vanguard of the US’ strategy which aims to contain China.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cChina should have the courage to face military confrontations with any rival when provoked. At the same time, we should remain cool-headed,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n
