Why do East Asian countries fight over miniscule bits of land?

The Chinese government likes to talk but is afraid of any of its people from taking action.It's more than willing to censor and block its people from pulling stunts like the recent landing on the islands.

But it can't prevent Hong Kongers from organizing such trips, and doubly doesn't like Hong Kongers who are political dissidents and professional protesters from pulling such stunts. As a result, today there are spontaneous anti-Japanese demonstrations in cities all across China. The Hong Kong activists were very shrewd, for now they've found a way to incite the Chinese people to spontaneously go to the streets and protest.

The Chinese government is now afraid, since they can't suppress anti-Japanese protests and can't let itself become accused of being too soft.
