On August 21, 2012, Global Times published an article regarding the Diaoyu Islands dispute between China and Japan, titled “Luo Yuan: Make the Diaoyu Islands a Target Range and Launch a People’s War on the Sea.” Luo Yuan is deputy secretary general of the China Society of Military Science and one of the most "hawkish" generals in China.
In the article, Luo recommended, “China should make a big deal of the Diaoyu Islands issue. We should clarify our national maritime strategy; establish a National Oceanic Commission; fight a guerrilla war on the sea; launch a people’s war on the sea; engage in group collaboration to protect the Diaoyu Islands; and keep the Japanese exhausted.”
