China urges impartiality4 for U.S. newspaper on Diaoyu Islands
The Chinese government is calling on the Wall Street Journal to be impartial3 when it comes to the Diaoyu Islands dispute.
The comments come after the U.S. newspaper carried an editorial, calling on the Obama administration to to explicitly5 endorse6 Japan's claims to the disputed islands.
The comments in the WSJ's online section says Tokyo's alliance with Washington and its ties with Southeast Asia have been strengthened because of the tensions over the Diaoyu Islands.
Chinese foreign ministry has since responded, calling on the US government to stay neutral, given "it is not a party concerned in the dispute".
The Obama administration has long-held that it will not take sides over the issue.

Chinese Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli says the government is confident it will reach its economic and social development targets for the year.
But at the same time, Zhang Gaoli also says more needs to be done to create more sustainable development in the private sector9.
Zhang says this country's more-developed eastern regions should be playing a leading role in rebalancing the economy.
He says operations in this region of China need to eliminate excessive production capacity.
Zhang's comments come ahead of the Party's plenary session slated10 to be held here in Beijing this weekend.
The postponement15 to January 8th follows mass demonstrations16 outside the first hearings held on Monday.
Addressing the court, Morsi has told the session he's being put on trial by force and against his will.
Stating he is still the President, Morsi has described his ouster as a coup17, saying its a humiliation18 and a crime.
He's also demanded the courts to -quote- "try the coup leader."
While not naming him by name, it's believed Morsi is referring to military leader Abdel Fatah al-Sisi.
Morsi and 14 other members of the Muslim Brotherhood19 are accused of ordering the killing20 of protesters outside his presidental palace in December.
The demonstrations at that time were launched after Morsi issued a decree giving him sweeping21 political powers.
That move enraged22 secular23 elements of Egyptian society, and eventually created the backlash against his rule which led to Morsi being removed from power by the military in early July.
South Africa to encourage North Korea to return to six-party talks: DIRCO
A leading South African official is set to begin a diplomatic mission to North Korea with the aim of trying to convince the country to resume the long-stalled 6-party nuclear talks.
South Africa's deputy minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Ebrahim Ebrahim, is beginning his mission there today.
Ebrahim says the South African side wants to try to convince North Korea not to go ahead with the construction of nuclear weapons.
While South Africa is not involved in the 6-party talks, the country has maintained a solid relationship with North Korea since establishing diplomatic ties in 1998.
The 6-party talks have been stalled since 2008 after North Korea pulled out of the negotiations24 amid frustration25 over a new round of sanctions.
Indian authorities have launched a raid in the eastern state of Jharkhand to try to track down militants27 believed to be responsible for a recent string of bombings in a neighboring state.
Police raided a hotel in the state capital, discovering 9 different explosive devices.
The bombs are said to be similar to the ones used in neighboring Bihar last month which left 6-people dead.
However, local TV reports are suggesting the raid came as the result of the interogation of a pair of bombing suspects currently being held.
Indian authorities are pinning the blame for last month's attacks in Bihar on a faction29 of the Indian Mujahideen.
The blasts were meant to disrupt a political rally for the main opposition's Prime Ministerial candidate.
