二、日本竊取釣魚島
II. Japan Grabbed Diaoyu Dao from China
日本在明治維新以后加快對(duì)外侵略擴(kuò)張。1879年，日本吞并琉球并改稱沖繩縣。此后不久，日本便密謀侵占釣魚島，并于甲午戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)末期將釣魚島秘密“編入”版圖。隨后，日本又迫使中國(guó)簽訂不平等的《馬關(guān)條約》，割讓臺(tái)灣全島及包括釣魚島在內(nèi)的所有附屬各島嶼。
Japan accelerated its invasion and external expansion after the Meiji Restoration. Japan seized Ryukyu in 1879 and changed its name to Okinawa Prefecture. Soon after that, Japan began to act covertly to invade and occupy Diaoyu Dao and secretly "included" Diaoyu Dao in its territory at the end of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. Japan then forced China to sign the unequal Treaty of Shimonoseki and cede to Japan the island of Formosa (Taiwan), together with Diaoyu Dao and all other islands appertaining or belonging to the said island of Formosa.
(一)日本密謀竊取釣魚島
1. Japan's covert moves to seize Diaoyu Dao
1884年，有日本人聲稱首次登上釣魚島，發(fā)現(xiàn)該島為“無(wú)人島”。日本政府隨即對(duì)釣魚島開展秘密調(diào)查，并試圖侵占。日本上述圖謀引起中國(guó)的警覺。1885年9月6日(清光緒十一年七月二十八日)《申報(bào)》登載消息：“臺(tái)灣東北邊之海島，近有日本人懸日旗于其上，大有占據(jù)之勢(shì)。”由于顧忌中國(guó)的反應(yīng)，日本政府未敢輕舉妄動(dòng)。
In 1884, a Japanese man claimed that he first landed on Diaoyu Dao and found the island to be uninhabited. The Japanese government then dispatched secret facts-finding missions to Diaoyu Dao and attempted to invade and occupy the island. The above-mentioned plots by Japan triggered China's alert. On September 6, 1885 (the 28th day of the 7th month in the 11th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty), the Chinese newspaper Shen-pao (Shanghai News) reported: "Recently, Japanese flags have been seen on the islands northeast to Taiwan, revealing Japan's intention to occupy these islands." But the Japanese government did not dare to take any further action for fear of reaction from China.
