US plays with fire over islands

Beijing on Monday blasted US lawmakers' legislation amendment that would reaffirm Washington's military support to Japan in the heated territorial row over China's Diaoyu Islands.

Observers warned that the US Senate's signal of support for Japan will further fuel Tokyo's confrontational attitude toward Beijing in the territorial fray, which has hurt Sino-Japanese ties in the past few months, and that the danger of the crisis spiraling out of control is mounting.

The amendment ¯ attached to the US National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 and passed last week ¯ said that while the US "takes no position" on the sovereignty of the islands, it "acknowledges the administration of Japan" over the islands.

It added that "unilateral actions of a third party" would not affect its position.
