The Significance of the Diaoyutai/Senkaku Islands Dispute for Taiwan", I also frowned at the following:<br /><br />"In contrast, some declare that the islands belong to Japan: in the Treaty of Peace (1951), signed with China to return Taiwan, Japan did not relinquish its rights over the islands.

"Such a command in the hands of a Power like Japan is a menance to our commerce"<br /><br />Definitely China will not stop at Senkakus and maybe not even at Okinawa.<br /><br />More and more trash articles supporting China's claim<br /><br />http://www.japanfocus.org/-Lin-Man_houng/4121 Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
