US film shows Diaoyu Islands belongs to China

The documentary titled, "Diaoyu Islands, The Truth" is made by Hollywood writer and director Chris D. Nebe, and produced by Monarex Hollywood Corporation. It is one of twelve documentaries in the director’s "Mysterious China" series, which introduce Chinese history, culture and current developments to the world.

The 40-minute film informed people that the Diaoyu Islands have been Chinese territory since ancient times, and Imperial Japan annexed them from China in 1895 after the First Sino-Japanese War. The Director holds the view that "the Diaoyu Islands conflict goes from the so-called administrative rights of the United States." After the Second World War, instead of returning the islands to China, the United States claimed ’administrative rights.’ In 1971, the US gave the islands to Japan, ignoring China’s claim.

A Chinese scholar has published 19th century Japanese government official documents related to the islands. They suggest Japan clearly knew the Diaoyu Islands were China’s when the Japanese staked claim to them in 1895.

Zhao Yingjun downloaded the documents from the Japanese National Archives website.

One of the documents was submitted by an Okinawa magistrate to the Japanese Interior Minister in 1885. The investigation paper clearly suggests the Diaoyu Islands belonged to China’s Qing Dynasty government.

Another document from the same year shows some Japanese officials warning the government not to stake claim on the Diaoyu Islands for fear of the Qing Government.

Dr. Zhao Yingjun, Beijing Normal University Law School, said, "These two Japanese documents clearly indicate that before 1895, the Japanese government recognized that the Diaoyu Islands belonged to China. "

However, 10 years later, after the 1894 China-Japan War, Japan made the decision to stake its claim to the Islands.

The Japanese government argued that they were no man’s land before January 14, 1895. Anyone who occupied them first could claim sovereignty over them.

Dr. Zhao said, "It’s because at that time, after the war, China didn’t have the strength to fight Japan. So when Japan made the Islands its territory, it was theft. "

Dr. Zhao adds that, this evidence shows that, Japan’s claim that the Diaoyu Islands were no man’s land is untenable.

Therefore, its claim of sovereignty over the islands through occupation has always been illegal.

All these claim and counter claim are worthless without a military to back up your claim.

Japan to build military site near disputed islands

Japan has begun construction work on a military radar station near a string of islands that is at the centre of a territorial dispute with China.

Correspondents say the move will anger Beijing as it may allow Japan to expand surveillance near the Chinese mainland.

The new base - on Yonaguni island - is located just 150km (90 miles) from the Japanese-held Senkaku island group, claimed by China as the Diaoyu islands.

About 150 personnel are due to be deployed on Yonaguni within two years.

During a ceremony to mark the start of project, Japanese Defence Minister Itsunori Onodera suggested his country's military presence could be extended to other islands in the region.

"This is the first deployment since the US returned Okinawa [in 1972] and calls for us to be more on guard are growing," Mr Onodera told reporters.

"I want to build an operation able to properly defend islands that are part of Japan's territory."

Tensions between Japan and China rose last year, after Beijing imposed an Air Defence Identification Zone above disputed islands in the East China Sea - including the Senkakus.

The move was also condemned by the US.

Several countries claim competing sovereignty over islands, reefs and shoals in the South China Sea.

Thanks sweetheart !

The Yomiuri Shimbun An atlas published by the Chinese government in 1969 identifies the Senkaku Islands by their Japanese name, new evidence that the group of islands in Okinawa Prefecture is inherently Japanese territory, the Foreign Ministry said Monday.

The ministry has posted the maps in a section featuring the Senkaku Islands on its website.

The map is part of an atlas published in 1969 by the then Chinese State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping, the equivalent of the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan. In addition to referring to the overall group of islands as the “Senkaku Islands” in Japanese characters, the name of Uotsuri Island, the westernmost island in the group, is also written in Japanese characters.

Yoshiaki Harada, a Liberal Democratic Party member of the House of Representatives, obtained the atlas from a former Foreign Ministry bureaucrat and showed it as evidence during his interpellation at the lower house Budget Committee meeting on Feb. 23.

Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida responded to Harada’s question by saying: “This is valuable data. By utilizing various data, we must continue to strategically send our message abroad.”

The Chinese government began claiming the Senkaku Islands in 1971 after the then U.N. Economic Commission for Asia and the Far East — presently the U.N. Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific — released a report in May 1969 that said oil reserves may exist in the islands’ seabed.

At that point, Beijing began calling the group of islands “Diaoyu.”

“China had changed its name for the islands since it started claiming sovereignty over them. This indicates that China regarded the islands as belonging to Japan back then, and will serve as corroborating evidence to Japan’s assertions,” said a senior foreign ministry official.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman: 1969 map proves Diaoyu Islands belong to China
English.news.cn | 2015-03-19 14:31:31 | Editor: An Lu

BEIJING, March 19 (Xinhua) -- The 1969 map posted on the Japanese Foreign Ministry website can only prove that the Diaoyu Islands are an integral part of China and that Japan invaded China's Taiwan and stole the Diaoyu Islands, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hong Lei said on Wednesday.

Hong pointed out that the Diaoyu Islands and its affiliated waters are extended beyond the sheet line of the map in the form of 'border break', serving as powerful evidence that the Diaoyu Islands are a part of China.

Accentuating that China is the first country to discover the Diaoyu Islands and has long-term effective administration over the area, Hong also explained that the change to name of the Diaoyu Islands on relevant maps was due to Japanese occupation of Taiwan and its affiliated islands after the Sino-Japanese war in 1894.

"After the Second World War, the Diaoyu Dao was given back to China following relevant international legal instrument. Be it Japan's colonial rule or its repercussions on map-drawing, nothing can change the fact that the Diaoyu Dao belongs to China," Hong said.


Another scam is busted
Thank you Hong Lei

Chinese named it as Senkaku? In their printed map. And call it by Diaoyu in press conference?
