2012年9月11日，日本首相野田佳彥宣佈，將長期具有主權爭議的釣魚臺列嶼「國有化」，徹底打破釣魚臺列嶼主權模糊的現狀。此舉引發海峽兩岸強烈的反應；大陸內部更掀起前所未有的反日示威，打砸日本商店、拒買日本商品。日相野田佳彥為什麼這麼做？國際社會都十分驚愕，不管理由是什麼，日本「國有化」釣魚臺列嶼主權的舉動，日本政客個人也許短暫獲利，但長遠來看；日本人民未必佔到什麼便宜，甚至日本還有可能成為輸家。

China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan are very consternation, no matter what is the reason, Japan "nationalization" of the sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands, It may short-term profit Yoshihiko Noda, but in the long term; Japan, the country may not become for what is cheap, and even Japan, the country may also be a loser.
