China released standard names and descriptions of the Diaoyu Island (钓鱼岛) and its affiliated isles on March 3, 2012, according to sources with the State Oceanic Administration (SOA).
The island is named as "Diaoyu Island", with its Chinese pronunciation reading "Diao yu Dao". It is described as an island "about 356 kilometers from the city of Wenzhou, 385 kilometers from the city of Fuzhou and 190 kilometers from the city of Keelung."
China has also released names of Diaoyu's 70 affiliated islands, the names in pinyin and description of locations.
The Diaoyu Island and other related isles have been part of inherent Chinese territory since ancient times, and China has indisputable sovereignty over them, said Hong Lei, spokesman of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a written statement.
"I would like to reiterate that any unilateral action taken by the Japanese side about the Diaoyu Island and its affiliated isles is illegal and invalid," Hong said, "No matter what names Japan has given to the isles affiliated to the Diaoyu Island, it will not change the fact that these islands belong to China".
The spokesperson suggested those who want to know the Diaoyu Islands' standard names should visit websites of the State Council, the SOA and the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
