I think , the U.S. is the backbone of Japan , as the keen maker in the Japan-China disputed islands and Japan-Korea disputed islands .
The Japan ,Korea and Phillippines are the longtime allies of the U.S. . The real intent of the U.S is to stir up trouble between China and its Neighbors .
I want to ask the Asian countries to raise the Asia Value and find a peaceful mean solution .
The group sailed from Hong Kong to islands known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China. Some jumped from their boat and swam to one island.
The authorities are considering deporting the group, Japanese and Chinese media reports said.
China has called for the activists' immediate and unconditional release.
There are 14 in the group, some of whom are believed to be journalists and crew members.
Five activists who landed on one of the islands with flags have arrived in Naha in Okinawa and the other seven are expected to be transferred later in the day, Japanese media reports said.
The United States has urged the two nations to resolve the conflict peacefully.
"Any kinds of provocations are not helpful in that regard," said State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland.
'Solemn representations'
The group set sail on Sunday. Japanese coastguard vessels surrounded the boat as it approached, but seven of the activists jumped overboard and swam to one of the islands.
Five were arrested on shore. Two swimmers returned to the boat and were later arrested along with the rest of the group for "alleged illegal entry".
It is the first time non-Japanese nationals have landed on the disputed islands since 2004.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Osamu Fujimura said Japan had lodged a diplomatic protest with China and in Hong Kong.
The Chinese foreign ministry also ''lodged solemn representations'' with Japan and demanded the groups' safe return, Xinhua said.
Tensions between China and Japan have been rumbling in recent months over the islands in the East China Sea.
Taiwan also claims the islands, which are controlled by Japan and form part of Okinawa prefecture.
