Editor's Note:
Tensions over the Diaoyu Islands dispute have escalated since last week, when Japan detained Chinese activists landing on the islands. The activists were later released, but heated discussion continues in China. How should China face up to Japan's provocative actions? What can China do to seize more of an initiative in the complex geopolitical landscape of East Asia? Scholars from the mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan gave their thoughts at a symposium on safeguarding the Diaoyu Islands held by the Global Times Sunday.
