On January 21, 2013, The Washington Post published an article named Japan, China struggle to curb tensions which included the following evaluation of Chinese media reports regarding the Diaoyu Island conflict:

Judging by some of the commentary in the Chinese media, an outside observer might think war with Japan is imminent.

However, there are still many voices calling for cold-blooded proceedings in the matter:
In the U.S., which could see itself dragged into a conflict as Japan’s military ally, diplomacy has moved up a gear in recent days. Kurt Campbell, assistant secretary of state for east Asian and Pacific affairs, said on a visit to Tokyo last week: “We’ve made very clear our desire to see cooler heads prevail.”

Yesterday, January 28, i.e. just one day before Japan's prime minister Shinzo Abe offered a summit of national leaders from China and Japan to settle different positions, People's Daily / People's Network came with the following headline:

美大报劝安倍搁置钓岛争议 日自民党坚持不退让

[Important] American newspapers urge Abe to put aside the Diao[yu] island dispute. Japan's Democratic Party [however] persists and doesn't make concessions.
