or an OpEd at its worst. It just copied word by word from the Tokyo
govenment source, without ever bohered to check the source. If it checked
the Washington declassified document, dated June 7, 1971, Beijing and Taipei
had voice the territorial disputes starting December 1970. Knowing the
deficiency in the Island ownership, US returned administrative right only (
but withheld the status of sovereignty) of the islets to Japan in 1972. The
peacful East China Sea in the past 40+ years was shattered by the unilateral
actions by Japan to have breached its agreement with Beijing to shelve the
dispute, and the "nationalization" of the Islands by the Tokyo government -
against the advice of the US. (Ref: Japan's Kyodo News Agency, published
April 9, 2013, Interview with former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Kurt
Campbell) In the past 40+ years, we have seen 105 military operations by the
US armed forces (including Vietnam, Panama, Iraq, Afghanistan). How many
violent conflicts can you name that involved China's forces? Not even 10% of
that of USA. And Washington Post is stil calling China expansionist? Give
me a break, and Chico please take a look in the mirro
