Most of the naval encounters in the Spratlys have so far involved encounters between Chinese patrol boats and Filipino and Vietnamese fishing boats or oil exploration vessels. Two years ago a Chinese fishing boat was intercepted by the Japanese Coast Guard for operating in Japanese territorial waters around the Senkakus. The arrest of the Chinese captain led to a major diplomatic spat between the two powers. China allegedly stopped shipping rare-earth minerals, an important component for electronics manufacturing, for two months after the incident.

I am just asking him to provide support for his claim, son. There are numerous historical evidence of its Chinese claim of the island, son, already mentioned by others, son. The geographical evidence is yet another supporting evidence, son.

Right, that's why they didn't have a beef with not having it for 80 years, until the resource research, right?
Or the fact they turned down the offer to have it after the war, right? Face it, the PRC didn't give a damn about those pile of rocks until OMG OILZ. CAN I HAZ NOW.

PRC disregarded the Treaty of San Francisco post Chinese Civil War - so why are they ruling that the ToSF's indication was right when they hadn't rescinded the Treaty of Shimonoseki in print with Japan, only merely disregarding it?

Let me put it this way for you. The Chinese and the Japanese has a score to settle that dates back to the first Sino-Japan war, and there is only one way to settle it. I have no more time to waste on you and your shitty attitude. |

And I'm also aware how the PRC isn't giving Taiwan its justified independence. China's MINE MINE MINE attitude isn't exactly winning international sympathies, man. I can undedrstand defending Chinese heritage, but I can't fathom why you keep defending the PRC. There's very little you could possibly be proud of, and China deserves better.

Oh dear. Let's move on shall we folks? We don't need to bring the territorial dispute to the "News Stories" thread!
So here's a new angle to the Libya story -- 10 Libyan security personnel were also killed trying to defend the U.S. embassy http://news.ph.msn.com/top-stories/u...storms-embassy |

To be honest, no one really owns those "islands". They're just uninhabited rocks. The Japanese don't own them, and the Chinese don't own them.
Does the earth give a shit about a piece of paper in some courthouse somewhere? Next we'll have people arguing over who owns the Moon. "The US was there first!" and all kinds of idiocy. |

I remember people claiming SELLING Mars lands. Humans. Sheesh. Unfortuantely, as long as there are valuable resorces, humans will fight over it. Even if it's by a piece of paper stating some silly idea of ownership. If it was up to me, we'd put all the heads from the world together, fund R&D for nuclear fusion, and say goodbye to that evil black goo we keep killing ourselves over for.

Here is an interesting thing to see though : The People's Republic is proclaimed in 1949, so by 1953, there is already a legitimate and recognised government. Plus that the news are controlled by the CCP, so why did they publish this?

2. They were administered as part of the United States Civil Administration of the Ryukyu Islands. 3. Hardly anyone ever thought of those islands unlike Ryukyu until papers of potential resources came about, when the Okinawa Trough argument was formed. Basically, the idea that Senkaku belongs specifically to the Taiwan Island group is a modern concept which was formed after resources came into play. Quote:

Furthermore, if Japan and China has a score to settle, then Korea has even a bigger score to settle with China, stretching from the cultural genocide it committed in Manchuria under the crackpot theories of Sun and the deliberate extension of the Korean division. For that matter, what about the score that Vietnam has to settle with the constant oppression China did? Basically, your line of argument is based on a "shittier" (your original usage) attitude which brushes away all the wrongs China as a whole committed upon its neighbors, while focusing only on what Japan did to China. That kind of biased attitude is no different from the other extreme views that cause grief to people in this world. |
