This! Thank you and good night! The debate should be closed because Chiang didn't want the islands and Mainland China made no fuss until now.
Speaking of which, is there a Japanese response to those recent demonstrations in China? I must say there are times when I expect the Japanese people to have some anti-Chinese riots in front of the Chinese embassy about a number of things happening... just a matter of showing that Japanese people can play this game too.
