In Chinese worldview, the ownership of the Senkaku (Diaoyu)
island and its territorial boundaries belong to China.
Recently, in the United Nation General Assembly, the Prime
Minister of Japan, Yoshihiko Noda, made an official announcement strongly
protecting the current Chinese political position of the Island and securing
Japanese territorial right.
In response, the Chinese government made a counter-announcement,
through Chinese Foreign ministry spokes man. China claims that the Japanese government
is highly distorting the history, the inhumane crime committed in World War 2
to many neighboring nations, and tries to violate the settlement of peace,
justice and security of worldwide established in post World War 2. In addition,
they mentioned the content of Cairo Declaration, the post war international agreement, which
demands Japan to return all territories it usurped during WWII.
Despite all the efforts and
attempt of Japan, China’s attitude towards the Island seems
never been changed; they want the sovereignty of the land and they will defend
it no matter what it costs.
Hi Julia~ nice blog!
ReplyDeleteI really like your argument and I think you have chosen a good topic because right now the poor relationship between China and Japan has caused a very big issue.What I already know is that island blongs to China since 1534.
Also I liked your layout very much, except I think your point of view is not very clear. Which side are you supporting at? China or Japan? I think it would be good idea if you have a clear point of view.
Looking forward to your argument ^v^
I didn't put the clear point of my argument on my blog yet but I will be supporting China :)
DeleteThis is very topical at the moment. Obviously this has been going on for some time, why do you think this issue has suddenly surfaced again, right now? What has triggered off the anger? There have also been protests in Korea in relation to this issue - how does Korea fit into the picture? What is your stance on the argument? Very big topic - deadline looming...
ReplyDeleteHey u changed your topic julia, & I'm glad that your supporting China. Also in Tension&nationalism part, u wrote about Korea having dispute with Japan aswell. I think many people realise All of this is not doing any good to the relationship between the Japan and its neighbouring countries. + on the news i heard japan is soon to have an election, so i hope that could be the turning point for the situation/dispute.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually on China's side on this, Japan really needs to return what they stole. But then again, England might as well return Falkland to Argentina.
ReplyDeleteactually, I wouldn't say "stole", I would say occupied. Stole is too strong for a word.
