In recent years, playing the more important role on the international stage, China has been more likely to trigger a crisis with other countries in the ocean field.Currently, some progress on studies of the maritime crisis had aroused academics’ extensive concern. However, the study quantity is not sufficient and the content is not rich enough, especially the relevant case analysis. Based on the research results on the crisis management theory and theories on the crisis stage division, this thesis select the allision on the Diaoyu Island for the case, to expound on the maritime crisis management coping mechanisms of China.This thesis takes the allision on the Diaoyu Island, the classic case of maritime crisis between China and Japan as an example to carry out the study.

It reveal potential motive of both parties in this crisis.In addition, it conducts a performance analysis of the crisis management results of both parties in this crisis: Japan has attained its aim of cementing US-Japan alliance to besiege China, but the Democratic Party of Japan’s intention to win over popular will went counterproductive, failing to produce expected results; China’s response was not timely enough at the earlier stage of this crisis, but its series of measures at the mid-later stages were strong counterattacks on Japan. However, regarding Japan’s use of its own domestic law for this incident settlement, China did not make corresponding countermeasures, which would leave potential trouble on legal principle to future treatment of similar critical incidents.On the basis of case analysis, and draw on the experience from the crisis management coping mechanisms construction of America and Japan, this thesis conducts a summary and analysis of current construction situation and mode of Chinese maritime crisis management coping mechanisms and proposes the improvement suggestions so as to make up the shortcomings of current management system to some degree.
