BEIJING, March 3 (Xinhuanet) -- CPPCC spokesman Lyu Xinhua talked about the Diaoyu Islands dispute with Japan. He warned that Japan would be responsible for the consequences, should there be any disturbance of normal Chinese law enforcement activities. Lyu said China will not recede on issues involving territorial sovereignty.

He said, "As a peace-loving country, China advocates settling international disputes peacefully through dialogue. China will not cause trouble, nor will it be afraid of trouble-makers. China is willing to get along peacefully with all countries including Japan. But we have our principles and baselines. We will never recede on issues related to China’s territorial sovereignty."

Lyu Xinhua said the Diaoyu Islands are an integral part of Chinese territory, and Japan doesn’t have the right to purchase Chinese territory in any form. He called on Japan to cease activities that harm Chinese sovereignty.

Lyu said Japan must face up to history and reflect on its mistakes, in order to ease concerns in several countries. And he urged Japanese leaders to stop making irresponsible remarks and make substantial efforts to improve bilateral relations.
