Japan threatens action on China gas project
Sun, Jan 17 02:48 PM

Japan warned China on Sunday that it would take action if Beijing starts gas production in a disputed field in the East China Sea, Japan's Kyodo news agency reported.

Although the two countries reached a broad agreement in 2008 on principles intended to solve the dispute by jointly developing gas fields, progress has been slow and Japan has accused China of drilling for gas in violation of the agreement.

Japanese Foreign Minister Katsuya Okada indicated to his Chinese counterpart Yang Jiechi at a meeting in Tokyo on Sunday that Japan might also start its own development in the disputed area, if China moves ahead with its gas production at the site, Kyodo reported, citing a ministry source.

The two ministers had heated exchanges, with Yang saying Okada's stance as not acceptable, Kyodo also reported.

But the two also agreed on the need to continue frequent high-level dialogue, and Yang invited Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama to visit China for this year's World Expo in Shanghai while Okada also invited Chinese premier Wen Jiabao to visit Japan, Kyodo also reported.

Tokyo objects to Chinese development of the Chunxiao gas field in seas close to Japan's claimed boundary.

Estimated net known reserves in the disputed fields are a modest 92 million barrels of oil equivalent, but both countries have pursued the issue because there may be larger hidden reserves.

Disturbance in what economy? All that the Japanese wants is to separate from the joint project, how is this possibly going to hurt the economy?

Before 1945,

Japan stole our Taiwan, Manchuria, part of Mainland

Britain Raj stole our South Tibet
Britain directed so-called Tibet independence
Britain controlled HK

France stole our Islands in South China Sea



After 1945,

Japan still Japan

Britain Raj -> India

French Indo-China -> Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia
