m**c 发帖数: 7299 | 5 Senkaku islands dispute is quite simple.
1. Senkaku islands had belonged to no country until January 1895,
when Japan incorporated them.

2. China had recognized the Senkaku islands as Japanese territory until the
late 1960s, when a submarine oil field was found around them.

3. In 1971, China suddenly started claiming that the Senkaku islands
belong to China for the first time throughout its history.
(之前是美国托管,跟日本无关)
Conclusion: Senkaku islands are Japanese territory from all aspects.
===================================================================
5 Reasons Why the Senkaku Islands are not Chinese Territory
1. International Law (先执行处理二战的International Law).
"Island of Palmas Case" (1928), one of the most highly influential
precedents dealing with island territorial conflicts say as follows,
1) Firstly, title based on contiguity has no standing in international law.
2) Secondly, title by discovery is only an inchoate title.
3) Finally, if another sovereign begins to exercise continuous and actual
sovereignty, (and the arbitrator required that the claim had to be open and
public and with good title), and the discoverer does not contest this claim,
the claim by the sovereign that exercises authority is greater than a title
based on mere discovery.
The Senkaku Islands were incorporated into Japan in 1895 by "prior
occupation" of "terra nullius," but both PRC (People's Republic of China)
and ROC (Republic of China) had never protested against Japan's claim over
the Senkaku Islands until 1971 for 76 years. Instead they had recognized the
Islands as Japanese territory explicitly in their documents, newspapers,
textbooks and maps. International law gives them any legal title to claim
the Islands any longer.
2. The Senkaku islands were discovered first not by Chinese but by Ryukyuans
(Okinawan people).
It was only 23 times that Chinese investiture Missions sailed to the Ryukyu
Kingdom (Okinawa) in 507 years, while Ryukyuan Tributary Missions sailed to
China over 580 times in the same period via the Senkaku Islands.
3. There is no historical fact that China has exercised any "effective
control" on the Senkaku Islands.
China has claimed that the Senkaku islands had been Chinese territory "since
the Ming Dynasty." However, during the Ming Dynasty, even Taiwan was not a
part of China. Taiwan was incorporated into Qing in 1683 for the first time.
And all Chinese official documents written during the Qing Dynasty
regarding Taiwan say the north end of Taiwan was the present Hoping island
never Keelung. There is no historical fact that the Senkaku Islands were
incorporated into China ever.
4. The Japanese old map China quote often never admitted that the Senkaku
islands were Chinese territory.
China often quotes the Japanese old map, 「琉球三省並三十六島之図」(1786) by
林子平(Hayashi Shinei) to argue that the Senkaku Islands were colored in
the same color as mainland China, so Japanese at that time recognized that
the Senkaku islands were Chinese territory. However, in the same map, Taiwan
was colored with the different color from the mainland China despite the
fact that Taiwan was already incorporated in to Qing when the map was
published in Japan. And Hayashi Shihei was not a Japanese governmental
official, but a mere private citizen who was even arrested and punished by
the Tokugawa Shogunate. We can not think Japan's official view was reflected
in his map anyway.
5. There is no historical fact that Senkaku Islands had ever belonged to
China, so China cannot say that they were stolen from China. So the Cairo
Declaration has nothing to do with the Senkaku Islands.
Conclusion.
China has invaded and absorbed Tibet, East Turkestan, Inner Mongolia, and
Manchuria. China is going to swallow the Senkaku Islands, Okinawa and Taiwan
this time. The reestablishment of full-fledged Chinese Empire is their
ultimate objective. |
