China Rebukes Japan for Naming Diaoyu Island Its Own Way
Beijing, March 4 (KCNA) -- Hong Lei, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, at a press conference on Saturday rebuked Japan for naming the Diaoyu Island its own way.

The Japanese authorities made public the names of the Diaoyu Island and its surrounding islets which they made their own way on March 2, Hong said, expressing strong opposition to it.

It is illegal and invalid for the Japanese side to take unilateral measures on the Diaoyu Island and its surrounding islets, Hong stressed.
