Gan Yu's statement sounds more like a threat than a call for peace. This behavior isn't acceptable!

The Chinese government is trying to distract from internal issues by creating external conflicts.

China needs to stop manufacturing territorial disputes. The Diaoyu Islands belong to Japan!

Fishermen should never be considered a threat. This shows China's overreach in international waters.
