The islands are known as Senkaku and Diaoyu, as called by Japan and China respectively. The game is called "Glorious Mission Online" where the players are to train soldiers to defend the island from Japanese invasion.

A press release of the game stated, "Players...will fight alongside Chinese armed forces and use weapons to tell the Japanese that 'Japan must return our stolen territory!'

Trailer posts seen are images of Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe who was portrayed as the enemy in the video game. The game is tagged as "Guard the Diaoyu Islands."

This called the attention in Japan as they still into the dispute of the territorial rights of the group of islands in East China Sea. For more than 40 years, Japan has been taking control of the island, but China insisted that they are the true owners of the islands. This was defended by the former in debating that the island was theirs after purchasing the islands from a private individual.

The dispute went further as both countries symbolic moves. Chinese authorities have pulled Japanese books out of the stores, and boycotted other items sold from the rival country. Another incident happened in which a toymaker in Japan has insulted some Chinese media as the toymaker introduced a toy boat with the words 'Operation Senkaku"

These obvious marks have shown ways of dispute, and it can only be stopped ones the two countries come into an agreement. While the two countries express their opinions with video games and toys, other countries see this may be a potential cause of diplomatic problems.
