Japan's right-wing risks

The disagreement between China and Japan over the Diaoyu Islands this week, reveals, yet again, that some in the island country are continually looking for opportunities to stir up trouble over the issue. By sending boats to fish in China's maritime territory, they attempt to demonstrate Japan's unfounded sovereignty claim and hurt the feelings of the Chinese people.

This time, the instigators in Japan will soon find out that they are making trouble for their own country.

According to Japanese media, about 10 fishing boats with members of right-wing groups on board left a local port on Sunday to operate in the waters off the Diaoyu Islands, which are in China's maritime territory.
