【新唐人2012年10月10日訊】日本「國有化釣魚島」引起中方抗議，反日遊行也在多個中國城市爆發，小小的釣魚島激起了軒然大波。香港資深媒體人程翔發表文章評論說，中共曾有四次解決釣魚島主權爭端的機會，但都錯過了。接下來，請和本臺記者一起去了解他是怎麼說的：
程翔在文章中指出：釣魚島主權不能再擱置下去！他表示，北京方面應該進一步迫使日本打消侵佔釣魚島的野心，否則釣魚島恐怕將永遠失去。
香港資深媒體人程翔：「如果日本不去採取一些實際擁有釣魚島的做法，也許釣魚島永遠都是一個小事情，因為現在日本採取具體的作法，要把釣魚島實際拿到手，如果是這樣子，如果中共還是在以大局為重的話，那就不對了。最起碼要跟日本達成一個共識，就說釣魚島的主權還是有爭議的。」
程翔說，假如有一天釣魚島真的丟了，那麼百分百的責任是在中共，因為在過去四十年來，中共曾經有四次錯失解決釣魚島主權爭端的機會。
這四次的時間點分別為，1971年，美國剛宣佈把釣魚島連同琉球交給日本的時候。第二次是1972年，中日建交時。第三次是1978年，中日交換和約時。第四次是1996年，香港保釣人士陳毓祥犧牲在釣魚島水域時。
而「山東大學」退休教授孫文廣表示，過去歷史上，中共當局一再拉攏日本對抗美、蘇，因此，對釣魚島問題表現軟弱。
「山東大學」退休教授孫文廣：「在這樣的思想上，它（中共）覺得釣魚島的問題，不要影響它的大局，它（中共）當時表現的態度，就是對釣魚島的問題很軟弱的，當時它（中共）還是階級鬥爭為綱，要打擊帝國主義，要打擊蘇聯社會帝國主義，那麼就要團結日本，所以要拉攏它（日本）。」
中、日展開邦交正常化談判當時，中共總理周恩來明確表示：「釣魚島的問題沒有必要涉及，它與恢復邦交相比算不了甚麼問題。」而且，鄧小平時代，中共急於獲得日本經援，對釣魚島，鄧小平親自提出「擱置爭端，留給後人。」如果釣魚島屬於中國，那麼在過去中日建交和中美建交時，中共當局為何只字不提？孫文廣認為，現在中共態度強硬起來，可能還有其他原因。
孫文廣：「一個是國內矛盾、經濟問題，還有很多人對當局的不滿，對它的無能、貪腐的不滿，另外就是薄熙來的案件，那麼在這個情況下，有一部分人他可能想轉移一下視線，就多討論國際問題，多討論釣魚島，那麼很多人可能就不會太注重國內的事情。」
程翔的文章指出，1971年6月，日、美簽訂《沖繩歸還協定》，沖繩歸還日本，釣魚島也被捆綁在這個協定裏。1971年12月中共除了發表聲明外，沒有拿出甚麼實際行動來捍衛釣魚島主權，反而在全球保釣運動蓬勃時期，派出很多人，分別到香港和美國，「傳達」中央關於「保釣要降溫」的指示。
1972年中日建交，建交談判過程中，日本主動提出戰爭賠償以及釣魚島問題。中共在沒有徵詢全國人民意見的情況下，擅自宣佈放棄對日索償。
有分析指出，如果釣魚島是屬於中國的，那麼中共當局就是賣國賊，因為當年它就把釣魚島給賣了，相反，如果釣魚島不屬於中國，中共當局也沒有賣國的問題，那麼現在中共說釣魚島屬於中國，那就是在欺騙民眾。因此，釣魚島問題實際只有一個，那就是：中共究竟是個騙子！？還是一個賣國賊！？

CCP missed four opportunities to reclaim the Diaoyu Islands
The nationalization of the Diaoyu (Senkaku) Islands by Japan caused a firestorm,
sparking protest from China and several anti-Japanese demonstrations in a number of mainland cities. Ching Cheong, a senior journalist in Hong Kong,
published an article stating that the CCP had four chances to solve the sovereignty dispute over the Diaoyu Islands, but they dropped the ball. Let’s see the report.
Ching Cheong pointed out in his article that the sovereignty issue regarding the Diaoyu Islands cannot be shelved. He said Beijing has to force Japan further and dispel the ambitions to occupy the Diaoyu (Senkaku) Islands.
Ching Cheong: “Perhaps the Diaoyu Islands would‘ve been a minor issue if Japan did not take physical possession of the islands. However, Japan now uses concrete methods to gain the Diaoyu Islands, and it would be wrong if CCP still focuses on a broader interest. The CCP should reach a consensus with Japan at least. The sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands is still controversial.”
Ching Cheong remarked that the CCP should take 100% responsibility if one day the Diaoyu Islands are really gone, because the CCP missed four opportunities to get the Diaoyu Islands back over the past 40 years.
The first of the the aforementioned four times was in 1971 when the United States had just announced that the Diaoyu Islands were given to Japan with the Ryukyu and the second was 1972 when China built Sino-Japanese diplomatic relations. The third was in 1978, when China and Japan exchanged peaceful contracts, and the last is 1996, when David Chan, a pro-democracy Diaoyu activist from Hong Kong drowned in the Diaoyu Islands waters.
Sun Wenguang, a retired professor from Shandong University said the CCP authorities repeatedly won over Japan to fight against the United States and the Soviet Union in the past history. Therefore, they are weak on the Diaoyu Islands issue.
Sun Wenguang: “Ideologically, the CCP feels that the Diaoyu Islands issue should not affect the overall situation, and the attitude of the CCP was weak towards the Diaoyu Islands at that time. The CCP focused on class struggles, and they wanted to fight against imperialism, to fight against the Soviet social-imperialism, so they had to unite with Japan.”
When China and Japan started negotiations to normalize diplomatic relations, the CCP Premier Zhou Enlai expressed clearly, “There is no need to discuss the Diaoyu Islands issue, and it is nothing compared with the resumption of diplomatic relations.” In the Deng Xiaoping era, the CCP was eager to get Japan’s economic aid. Therefore, Deng Xiaoping personally wrote a policy about
the Diaoyu Islands consisting of shelving disputes and leaving to future generations.
If the Diaoyu Islands belong to China, why have the CCP authorities not mentioned anything when they established diplomatic relations with Japan and USA? Sun Wenguang thought, there may be other reasons for the CCP to take a tough stance now.
Sun Wenguang: “One is the internal contradictions, economic problems, as well as many dissatisfactions regarding the incompetence and corruption of CCP.
Some people may shift the line of sight by discussing international issues due to the Bo Xilai event.”
Ching Cheong pointed out in his article from June 1971, that Japan and the United States signed the agreement on returning Okinawa – Okinawa was returned to Japan and the Diaoyu Islands was also bundled in with this agreement. The CCP merely issued a statement in December 1971 without coming up with any real action to defend the sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands. Instead, the CCP sent many people to Hong Kong and the United States during the booming period of the global campaign on the Diaoyu Islands to convey the instructions of the CCP Central Committee on lowering the temperature.
In 1972, China and Japan established diplomatic relations. Japan offered a proposal on war reparations as well as the Diaoyu Islands issue during the negotiation, but the CCP announced to drop the reparations from Japan without consulting the views of the National People.
Some analysts pointed out if the Diaoyu Islands belong to China, then the CCP authorities must be traitors, because they sold the Diaoyu Islands. On the contrary, if the Diaoyu Islands do not belong to China, then the CCP authorities do not have the traitorous problem, but CCP must deceive the public as it said that the Diaoyu Islands belong to China. Therefore, Diaoyu Islands issue raises one issue,is the CCP a liar or a traitor?
