British media: China and Russia against the US-Japan alliance and horizontal

　BBC website on November 3rd to comment, entitled "Japan, the Russo-Japanese territorial dispute with the U.S. strategic restructuring in East Asia." Article excerpts are as follows:

Recently, the Japanese government seems to result from territorial disputes with neighboring countries into being "north-south pincer" position, position the United States involved in East Asian neighbors through a series of disputes, and gradually strengthening its strategy to return to the western Pacific. Russia-Japan relations in the low selection angered Tokyo and its intention intriguing.

September collision near Diaoyu repercussions. They probably did not think at this time, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev boarded a long dispute between Japan and Russia, "the four northern islands" (the Russian island of Sakhalin, said the South) one of the "state after the island." Russia's leaders for the first time landing on the island, so that the territorial dispute between Japan and Russia sudden warming.

Immediately clear that the U.S. State Department to support its military ally, Japan. This is the Russo-Japanese dispute after the Cold War is rare.

At the same time, the Chinese government on Tuesday (November 2) rejected the U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton held on to the dispute over the Diaoyu Islands, American and Japanese tripartite dialogue.

In fact, China is the most sensitive bilateral dispute has been dragged into the multilateral mechanisms. Ms. Clinton made the United States in Hanoi in July is also concerned about Beijing and the neighboring countries of the South China Sea territory, territorial waters dispute, I hope through mediation, to ensure a peaceful settlement, to ensure smooth sailing. China has repeatedly fought back.

This time, Beijing also refers to "the United States repeatedly claimed that the US-Japan Security Treaty applies to the Diaoyu Islands, which is very wrong. The United States should immediately correct the error position."

The article said that China does not seem to expect the U.S. will make its good offices to intervene in the tentacles extend from the South China Sea to the East China Sea. But for the United States, may be a natural extension.

On the one hand the United States concerned about China's rise and influence in East and Southeast Asia, while Southeast Asia, some countries also remain vigilant on China's influence, I hope there is a counterbalance to external forces "and in" the great potential threat to neighboring countries .

The problem is, in this game, people did not seem too much attention to the former superpower Russia. The end of September the leaders of China and Russia signed a joint communique in Beijing, emphasized that "concerning national sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity of the core interests of the two countries support each other." And the end of September in China and Japan over the Diaoyu Islands is the most intense period of turmoil.

Now, President Medvedev set foot on this former Soviet soldiers in World War II when the "spoils of war" and claimed that several other future plans to board the island, is hardly a coincidence.

Some Chinese people believe this is the support to China on the Diaoyu Islands issue, and the Japanese are more worried about China and Russia join hands to form a strategic unfavorable situation in Japan.
