**日本媒体:日本政府将购买东海有争议岛屿**
日本政府已经同意购买东海的几个岛屿,这些岛屿是日本与中国领土争端的焦点。
日本媒体星期三报道说,日本政府将为这个岛链的三个主要岛屿向日本私人土地拥有者支付2600万美元。日本和中国分别将这些岛屿称为“尖阁列岛”和“钓鱼岛”。
这些基本无人居住的岛屿在日本的控制之下,但中国和台湾都宣称对这些岛屿拥有主权。长期以来,这些岛屿一直是导致中日两国关系紧张的因素。
** Reports: Japan to Buy Disputed East China Sea Islands**
Japan's government has agreed to buy a group of East China Sea islands at the center of a heated territorial dispute with China.
Japanese media reported Wednesday that the central government will pay private Japanese landowners $26 million for the three main islands in the chain, known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China.
The mostly uninhabited islands are controlled by Japan, but claimed by China and Taiwan. They sit on top of what are thought to be vast oil deposits and have a long history of straining relations between China and Japan.
