美国等国家与日本签订的片面媾和条约“旧金山和约”所规定的托管范围不涵盖钓鱼岛。美国擅自扩大托管范围,非法将中国领土钓鱼岛纳入其中,后将钓鱼岛“施政权”“归还”日本,都没有任何法律依据,在国际法上没有任何效力。对于美日上述非法行径,中国政府和人民历来是明确反对的。
五、中国为维护钓鱼岛主权进行坚决斗争
长期以来,中国为维护钓鱼岛的主权进行了坚决斗争。
Diaoyu Dao was not placed under the trusteeship established by the Treaty of San Francisco, which was signed between the United States and other countries with Japan and is partial in nature. The United States arbitrarily expanded the scope of trusteeship to include Diaoyu Dao, which is China's territory, and later "returned" the "power of administration" over Diaoyu Dao to Japan. This has no legal basis and is totally invalid according to international law. The government and people of China have always explicitly opposed such illegal acts of the United States and Japan.
V. China has Taken Resolute Measures to Safeguard its Sovereignty over Diaoyu Dao
China has, over the past years, taken resolute measures to safeguard its sovereignty over Diaoyu Dao.
中国通过外交途径强烈抗议和谴责美日私相授受钓鱼岛。1951年8月15日,旧金山会议召开前,中国政府声明:“对日和约的准备、拟制和签订,如果没有中华人民共和国的参加,无论其内容和结果如何,中央人民政府一概认为是非法的,因而也是无效的。”1951年9月18日,中国政府再次声明,强调“旧金山和约”是非法无效的,绝对不能承认。1971年,针对美、日两国国会先后批准“归还冲绳协定”的行为,中国外交部严正声明,钓鱼岛等岛屿自古以来就是中国领土不可分割的一部分。
针对日本侵犯中国钓鱼岛主权的非法行径,中国政府采取积极有力措施,通过发表外交声明、对日严正交涉和向联合国提交反对照会等举措表示抗议,郑重宣示中国的一贯主张和原则立场,坚决捍卫中国的领土主权和海洋权益,切实维护中国公民的人身和财产安全。
China has, through the diplomatic channel, strongly protested against and condemned the backroom deals between the United States and Japan over Diaoyu Dao. On August 15, 1951, before the San Francisco Conference, the Chinese government made a statement: "If the People's Republic of China is excluded from the preparation, formulation and signing of the peace treaty with Japan, it will, no matter what its content and outcome are, be regarded as illegal and therefore invalid by the central people's government." On September 18, 1951, the Chinese government issued another statement stressing that the Treaty of San Francisco is illegal and invalid and can under no circumstances be recognized. In 1971, responding to the ratifications of the Okinawa Reversion Agreement by the US Congress and Japanese Diet, the Chinese Foreign Ministry issued a stern statement which pointed out that the Diaoyu Dao Islands have been an indivisible part of the Chinese territory since ancient times.
In response to Japan's illegal violation of China's sovereignty over Diaoyu Dao, the Chinese government has taken active and forceful measures such as issuing diplomatic statements, making serious representations with Japan and submitting notes of protest to the United Nations, solemnly stating China's consistent proposition, principle and position, firmly upholding China's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, and earnestly protecting the safety of life and property of Chinese citizens.
