Or do they mean that Taiwan is part of China.<br /><br />I didn't know Korea claimed it but I wouldn't be surprised. Some Koreans also claim Okinawa.<br />If US wasn't occupying Okinawa SK<br />would have taken it like they did Takeshima.<br /><br />Tokyo and Taipei have already agreed to prohibit recreational fishing within 12 nautical miles of Tiaoyutai or in the delineated no-fishing zone in which fishing boats from either Taiwan or Japan are prohibited from engaging.<br /><br />Tokyo should cancel that agreement and allow Japanese to fish in Japanese waters. Trying to be nice hasn't and won't work.<br /><br /><br />Japan should fire warning shots at boats/planes that intrude on its territory. All other countries would do that. Actually some would just blast you out of the air/ocean w/o warning.<br /><br />I'm still trying to understand why Japan compensated/apologized to the captain when he should have been in jail.<br /><br />It's good that I can find some sane and sensible reporting about Senkaku here on your blog.<br />I just wish Bill(Ampontan) was alive to post on this madness.<br /><br /><br />yankdownundernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-9619865182201598932013-01-26T00:11:40.108+08:002013-01-26T00:11:40.108+08:00Why does Taiwan have to make a choice?

The question is, though, is it worthwhile for Taiwan to join Team Japan rather than Team China on this issue?Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07850321476895977483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-21064947908936577332013-01-25T17:53:06.334+08:002013-01-25T17:53:06.334+08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Michael Turtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974403961870976346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-73442150716618817762013-01-25T17:52:35.384+08:002013-01-25T17:52:35.384+08:00It's on my blog and clearly shows the Chinese ...It's on my blog and clearly shows the Chinese ship deliberately ramming the Japanese.
