2012年9月10日，日本不顾中方一再严正交涉(strong representations)，宣

布“购买”及其附属的(affiliated)南小岛和北小岛，实施所谓“国有化”(\"nationalization\")。这是对中国领土主权(sovereignty)的严重侵犯(a gross violation)，是对13亿中国人民感情的严重伤害，是对历史事实和国际法理的严重践踏(seriously trample)。中国和人民对此表示坚决反对(opposition)和强烈(protest)。

及其附属岛屿自古以来就是中国的神圣领土，有史为凭、有法为据(This is supported by historical facts and jurisprudential evidence)。等岛屿是中国人最早发现、命名和利用的，中国渔民历来在这些岛屿及其附近海域从事生产活动(engage in production activities)。早在明朝，等岛屿就已经纳入中国海防管辖范围(be put under the jurisdiction of) ，是中国的附属岛屿。从来就不是什么“无主地”(\"terra nullius\")，中国是等岛屿无可争辩的(indisputable)主人。

外交部就问题发表的声明

Statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China

10 September 2012

2012年9月10日，日本不顾中方一再严正交涉，宣布“购买”及其附属的南小岛和北小岛，实施所谓“国有化”。这是对中国领土主权的严重侵犯，是对13亿中国人民感情的严重伤害，是对历史事实和国际法理的严重践踏。中国和人民对此表示坚决反对和强烈。

Regardless of repeated strong representations of the Chinese side, the Japanese government announced on 10 September 2012 the \"purchase\" of the Diaoyu Island and its affiliated Nan Xiaodao and Bei Xiaodao and the implementation of the so-called \"nationalization\" of the islands. This constitutes a gross violation of China's sovereignty over its own territory and is highly offensive to the 1.3 billion Chinese people. It seriously tramples on historical facts and international jurisprudence. The Chinese government and people express firm opposition to and strong protest against the Japanese move.

及其附属岛屿自古以来就是中国的神圣领土，有史为凭、有法为据。等岛屿是中国人最早发现、命名和利用的，中国渔民历来在这些岛屿及其附近海域从事生产活动。早在明朝，等岛屿就已经纳入中国海防管辖范围，是中国的附属岛屿。从来就不是什么“无主地”，中国是等岛屿无可争辩的主人。

The Diaoyu Island and its affiliated islands have been China's sacred territory since ancient times. This is supported by historical facts and jurisprudential evidence. The Diaoyu Islands were first discovered, named and exploited by the Chinese people. Chinese fishermen had long been engaged in production activities on these islands and in their adjacent waters. The Diaoyu Islands have been put under the jurisdiction of China's naval defense as affiliated islands of Taiwan, China since the Ming Dynasty. The Diaoyu Islands have never been \"terra nullius\". China is the indisputable owner of the Diaoyu Islands.
