A Chinese Comment on the Senkaku/ Diaoyu dispute

My friend, fellow author and former star student at SOAS, Yu Ge, appeared recently on a French English-language news channel, France24, where he commented on the Senkaku/ Diaoyu dispute. His calm, reasoned approach is in contrast to the images of rabid nationalist demonstrators burning Japanese flags and calling for war that Western news media tend to focus on. As he pointed out, most of the comments on Chinese microblogging sites tend to be a lot less bellicose than some Western media would have us believe - and this goes for the Taiwan issue as well.
