【新唐人2014年01月04日讯】2014年新年第一天，一名中国大陆男子，试图搭乘热气球，登上钓鱼岛来“宣示主权”，不料功亏一篑，在飞近钓鱼岛上空时坠落大海，而后被日本船只救起。中共方面证实了这一事件，但只说这名男子是个“气球爱好者”。这戏剧性的一幕，引来外界的热烈讨论。
据媒体报导，这名大陆男子名叫许帅军，35岁，2014年元旦清晨7点，他从福建福清市出发，尝试单人驾驶热气球空降钓鱼岛。
当天下午2点26分左右，许帅军驾驶的热气球发生故障，在钓鱼岛以南33公里处堕海，他利用随身无线电器材向台湾发出紧急求救。台湾搜救中心接报后，随即派海巡署在航的“谋星舰”赶往搜救，但因距离较远，又向日本海上保安厅进行通报。
日本海上保安厅在接获台湾通报后，随即派出两艘巡逻船和直升机进行搜寻，于下午4点15分左右，在钓鱼岛主岛以南约22公里的海上，发现漂浮的热气球，并救起许帅军。
日本《共同社》引述海保厅的消息说，这名男子是一名在河北省工作的厨师。海保厅曾考虑以“违反日本入国管理难民法”予以拘捕，但是因为他堕海地点未明，因此决定移交给中国海警。
报导说，这名中国男子落海当天，中共方面有3艘海警船，在中、日连接的海域巡航。
中共外交部星期四晚些时候证实了这件事，但发言人秦刚形容许帅军只是个“热气球爱好者”，并说许帅军目前身体状况良好，但秦刚拒绝进一步评论。
大陆媒体也对这一消息进行了简略报导。有媒体报导说，许帅军曾在微博表示, 已经返回福建 。不过这条微博目前似乎已经被删除。他的个人微博账户上，自我介绍，他是：河北唐山人，“AX-7级热气球飞越渤海湾中国第一人。”
大陆网友对此展开热烈讨论。虽然有部分网友赞赏许帅军意图用热气球登岛，宣示“主权”的勇气，但大多网友都用嘲讽的语气发表评论。
认证为“财经网站蓝鲸财经记者内参网”的微博说：对此男竖大拇指，可小鲸还是快笑岔气儿了。
也有网友表示：这种情况下，是否不该让日本人救上来呢？
时事评论员蓝述：“我觉得这是一种非常可悲的现象。所有的这些人如果真正爱国的话，他们应该去恢复被中共破坏了的传统文化，应该做出努力去解体中共，把马列从中国的大地上驱逐出去。这才是真正的爱国。”
时事评论员蓝述表示，现代中国青年的爱国主义虚火，被中共煽动起来了，所以才会做出这种完全无用的努力。
蓝述：“钓鱼岛是个无人岛， 所以在处理钓鱼岛的问题上不存在人道的问题。中国大陆那么多的上访户、被镇压的、被城管（欺压）的、被强拆的、被强征土地的，这么多(不)人道的问题摆在那不去解决，跑到一个没人的岛上去， 完全是爱国主义的虚火。”
也有网友“曾经的7号”说，“你让政府情何以堪啊。”
去年九月，许帅军在微博上首次表示计划用热气球飞向钓鱼岛。他还表示，要“做个有态度的中国人。”
大陆网友秀才江湖：“大陆（中共）提到钓鱼岛是为了转移国内矛盾，激起一些被洗脑民众的爱国热情。只要生活幸福，归谁都一样的。如果归中国的话，钓鱼岛（将会）有城管、有劳教、有刑讯逼供。”
中共于去年（2013年）11月宣布了涵盖争议岛屿的“东海防空识别区”，要求所有外国飞机根据中方要求表明身份 。不过，日本以及美国和南韩都拒绝承认这一防空识别区。

Patriotism? Mainland Chinese Man Rescued From Sea by Japan
After Failed Diaoyu Island Landing.
On January 1, a man from Mainland China attempted
to land on the Diaoyu Islands (DYI) by hot air ballon.
His aim was to declare sovereignty over the islands.
But the hot air balloon crash landed in the sea off the coast
of DYI, and the man had to be rescued by a Japanese ship.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) confirmed the incident,
but stated only that the man was a “hot air balloon fan".
The dramatic incident has gained international attention.
It is reported that the Mainland Chinese man
is called Xu Shuaijun, and is 35 years old.
At 7am on January 1, he started his journey by
hot air balloon from Fuqing City, Fujian Province.
He made an attempt to land on DYI.
At 2.26pm that day, the balloon met with difficulties,
and landed in the sea 33 kilometers to the south of DYI.
Mr Xu sent out a rescue signal
to Taiwan, via a portable radio.
The Taiwanese Rescue Centre immediately
dispatched it’s in-service “Mouxing Ship" to rescue him.
Due to the distance it needed to travel, they also
informed the Japanese Sea Security Bureau (JSSB).
The JSSB then dispatched two patrol
ships and a helicopter to rescue the man.
At around 4.15pm, the Japanese
rescuers found the floating hot air balloon.
They successfully rescued Xu Shuaijun
at a location 22km to the south of DYI.
Japan Kyodo News Agency cited the news from JSSB.
The Chinese man is a chef, working in Hebei Province.
The JSSB considered arresting him, under violation
of laws for Japan Entry Administration & Refugees.
Due to the uncertainty of where he entered the sea,
he was subsequently transferred to Chinese Sea Police.
According to the news report, on the same day of the
incident, the CCP authorities had three sea police ships
patrolling the maritime border between China and Japan.
The CCP’s Foreign Affairs Ministry confirmed
the incident late on Thursday January 2.
The spokesman Qin Gang described
Xu Shuaijun as a “hot air balloon fan".
He stated that Mr Xu’s was in a good physical
condition, but refused to give further comments.
Mainland Chinese media also gave
a succinct report on the incident.
Some reports suggested that according to his Weibo
account, Xu Shuaijun had returned Fujian Province.
However, this Weibo message seems to be deleted.
According to the self-introduction on his personal Weibo
account, he is from Tangshan City, Hebei Province.
He also describes himself as the “first Chinese
person to fly over Bohai Bay in a AX-7 hot air balloon."
The incident became a hot topic for Mainland netizens.
Some netizens appreciated Xu Shuaijun’s actions
for attempting to landing on DYI by hot air balloon,
and thought him brave for declaring sovereignty.
Most netizens, however, reacted negatively to his actions.
One Weibo microblog said: Despite some peoples
praise for him, I still laughed at the incident.
Other netizens expressed: under such a circumstance,
shouldn’nt he not have allowed the Japanese to rescue him?
Lan Shu, Political commentator:
“I think this is a very sad phenomenon.
If all these people are really patriots, they should
recover the traditional culture destroyed by the CCP.
They should make efforts to disintegrate the
CCP and drive Marxism-Leninism out of China.
This is real patriotism."
Lan Shu further comments that modern Chinese
youth have misguided enthusiasm in the patriotism.
This is instigated by the CCP,
inspiring completely futile efforts.
Lan Shu: “DYI does not have any people living
there, so dealing with DYI is not a humanity issue.
There are just so many petitioners, suppressed
peoples, and those forced from their lands or homes.
There are so many human rights issues not yet resolved.
Then, there is an attempt to land on
DYI, which has no-one living on it.
This is a false patriotic fire."
One netizen questioned what sort of embarrassment
did this incident cause the Chinese regime?
Xu Shuaijun first expressed his plan to fly to DYI by hot
air balloon in September last year, via his Weibo account.
He said, he will “become a Chinese person with attitude."
Xiucai Jianghu, Mainland netizen: “When the CCP speaks
about DYI, it diverts attention away from domestic conflicts.
It incites patriotic enthusiasm in brainwashed people.
However, if Chinese people can live a happy
life, it does not matter who owns the DYI.
If China has the DYI, then there will
still be the same problems in China."
The CCP has declared it’s “Air Defense
Identification Area of the East Sea."
This is controversial, and requires all
foreign airplanes to identify themselves.
However, Japan, America and South Korea
refuse to accept such an Identification Area.
