captain be put through the Japanese judicial system。 Suddenly; the
judicial system didn't matter。 He'd be freed。 And; even though days
earlier; Japan had strongly stated that the islands were theirs; and there
was nothing to discuss with China over the matter。
While both countries have known for some time that the balance of power in
Asia is changing (more to China; less to Japan); neither country has quite
known where it stands until right now; right here: in September 2010。
Some might argue that Japan didn't quite back off; and the fact is it
still does hold de facto control of the Diaoyu/Senkaku Islands; and that
it did hold the Chinese captain for almost two weeks while China looked on
helplessly。 But it is very difficult to look at the situation today and
think: 〃Wow; Japan really walked away the winner here。〃
So China's won this battle 。。。 right? If by winning; we mean the hero's
wele given the boat's captain and the nationwide celebratory fervour;
yes; China got its way。 This has been great domestically; a boon for the
munist Party。
But you wonder what the rest of the countries in Asia are thinking。
Not only did China get its way; everyone else saw it; and saw how it was
done; too。 You can't imagine Vietnam; with its own territorial dispute
with China; feeling any safer。 Or the rest of ASEAN (Association of South
East Asian Nations)。 Or South Korea。 Or the people of Japan; as they watch
their leaders capitulate。
Suddenly; everyone desires a referee in all this。 Suddenly; everyone
wouldn't mind too much if the United States were around more often。 China
might have gotten its way this time; but perhaps at the cost of a more
vigilant America。

纽约时报社论:China forced Japan to back down but still did itself no favor。
Editorial
China; Japan and the Sea
Published: September 24; 2010
China and Japan have wisely stepped back from a confrontation in the East
China Sea。 The incident showed the alarming potential for territorial
disputes to quickly escalate and why the players need to work a lot harder
to resolve peting claims。
We don’t know who was at fault when a Chinese fishing trawler collided two
weeks ago with two Japanese patrol boats in waters near islands that are
claimed by both sides (plus Taiwan) and controlled by Japan。
Japan returned the trawler to China and released the crew but detained the
captain and threatened to prosecute him for obstructing officials from
performing their duties after he rammed the patrol boats。 China then cut
diplomatic munications; detained four Japanese nationals and suspended
exports of rare earth minerals that Japan needs for hybrid cars; guided
missiles and wind turbines。 With tensions rising; Japan finally freed the
captain; and; on Saturday; he headed home。
The ownership of the islands — in waters rich with fish and oil and
natural gas deposits — has been disputed for decades。 China’s claims have
bee increasingly shrill in recent months; Beijing has even started
calling the South China Sea; where Vietnam and the two Koreas also have
claims; a “core national interest。” In the diplomatic world; those are
fighting words。
China forced Japan to back down but still did itself no favor。 Its
bullying behavior will only make its neighbors even more anxious about
Beijing’s intentions。 There are also questions about Tokyo’s motives。
Japanese coast guard officers often board Chinese fishing vessels found in
waters claimed by Tokyo to send a message and then send them on their way
without incident。 The collision this time seems more serious; largely
because Chinese warships are also increasingly crossing into Japanese
waters。 The scars in China over Japan’s long and brutal occupation have
not healed。 But the two countries have tried to work together to rein in
North Korea’s nuclear program。 The United States; which has a strong
alliance with Tokyo; also is rightly eager to encourage China to bee a
more responsible regional player。
The Obama administration has offered to “facilitate” talks that would
ensure freedom of navigation and encourage all states to settle their
claims peacefully。 That won’t solve the territorial disputes; but it
should make confrontations less likely。 The time to act is now。

台湾《中国时报》:日媒砲轟政府外交失敗 助長中國氣焰
美施壓 日鬆手 向中屈服 日媒砲轟政府外交失敗 助長中國氣焰
2010…09…26 【記者慶正/綜合報導】
日本決定釋放中國漁船船長詹其雄,引起日本國內震驚,25日掀起輿論批評狂潮。各大媒體紛紛以「外交失敗」、「屈辱外交」等砲轟日本政府,認為這次向中方屈服,將助長中國的氣焰。在野自民黨更直指事件令日本丟臉。
中評社報導,雖然日本政府稱釋放詹其雄是司法決定,但日本《產經新聞》指出,24日上午,內閣官房長官仙谷由人在首相府召集閣僚開會,透露稍後宣布釋詹其雄。仙谷還對法務相直接說,他們收到指示而作出這個決定。當天下午,沖繩那霸地方檢察廳就宣布釋放詹其雄。
種下千年屈辱禍根
《產經新聞》社論以「釋放中國船長把日本貶低到甚麼程度」為標睿稳葆尫糯L,為日本外交種下了千年的屈辱禍根。報導披露,事件變得峰迴路轉,背後與美國施壓有關,事前連政府內閣部分成員及執政民主黨高層都不知情,因而引起黨內不滿。
其決定因素,是因為美國國務卿希拉蕊身邊的消息人士表示,美方希望日方在24日前解決問睿!
美國《紐約時報》指出,日本檢方是在北京24日報導四名日本公民因為拍攝軍事設施遭到逮捕之後迅速做出決定的。日本政府在呼籲保持冷靜的同時,曾經堅定地表示過,將訴諸本國法律來處理這名船長。
《紐約時報》表示,日本國內針對中國的情緒近年來變得越來越不友好,對於一直存在爭議的釣魚島,日方對行駛過近的船隻一貫採取驅趕策略。
《產經新聞》說,日本政府認為中國因事件變得強硬,可能單方面開發枺4簳杂蜌馓铮彩菦Q定放人的原因之一。

安倍晉三:極愚蠢
自民黨總裁谷垣禎一,對日本政府有關地檢單獨決定釋放的說明提出強烈伲伞G白悦顸h首相安倍晉三形容這是「極愚蠢的決定」,顯示日本政壇向中國的壓力屈服。連執政黨、國民新黨政策眨闀L龜井亞紀子,也伲珊团u認為「損害了國家利益」。
《讀賣新聞》25日在社論要求枺┱驀褡鞒鋈娼忉專瑏K繼續堅持對釣魚島的主權。《朝日新聞》在社論中稱,釋放詹其雄是菅直人政權輕率的外交導致要作出苦澀的政治決定,將會令外界以為日本面對壓力時,只懂退縮。
社論指出「這個政治決定給了中國施加壓力就能令日本屈服的印象,而且今後就有必須抹去這個印象的必要」。
