石垣市の尖閣調査「挑発行為」　中国

　【北京時事】中国外務省の林剣副報道局長は２９日の記者会見で、沖縄県石垣市が尖閣諸島で実施した海洋調査について「日本側の挑発行為に対し、外交ルートを通じて厳正な申し入れを行った」と反発した。その上で、「あらゆる挑発と、一方的に事態をエスカレートさせるやり方を直ちに停止」するよう求めた。
　林氏は「釣魚島（尖閣諸島の中国名）とその付属の島々は中国固有の領土だ」と主張。「引き続き必要な措置を取り、国家の領土主権を断固守る」と表明した。（2024/04/29-18:58）

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian on Monday slammed a marine survey conducted by a Japanese city around the Japanese-administered Senkaku Islands as an act of provocation.
   Speaking at a press conference, the spokesman demanded the Japanese side stop all provocations and unilateral moves to escalate the situation. He said China has lodged serious representations to Japan through diplomatic channels over its infringements and provocations.
   The city government of Ishigaki in Okinawa Prefecture, southernmost Japan, conducted its third marine survey around the Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea from Thursday to Saturday. The group of uninhabited islands are claimed by China, where they are known as Diaoyu.
   Lin said that the Diaoyu and nearby islands are part of China's inherent territory and that China will take necessary measures to decisively protect its territorial sovereignty.
