China Federation for Defending the Diaoyu Islands
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
China Federation for Defending the Diaoyu Islands (Simplified Chinese: 中国民间保卫钓鱼台联合会; Traditional Chinese: 中國民間保衛釣魚台聯合會; pinyin: Zhōngguó Mīnjiān Băowèi Diàoyútái Liánhéhùi) is a non-governmental organisation which maintains that Diaoyu Islands are a part of Chinese territory. The territorial right to Diaoyu Islands is disputed between the People's Republic of China, the Republic of China, and Japan. Japan calls the territory the Senkaku Islands and currently has control over the islands.
In the early morning of March 24, 2004, seven activists from this group landed on Diaoyu Islands, and in the afternoon, were subsequently detained by the Japanese coast guard. The incident gave the territorial dispute renewed media attention and worsened Sino-Japanese relations.
