SDHF Newsletter No.49: Not a single basis for China’s Claim over Senkaku Islands

SDHF Newsletter No.49: Not a single basis for China’s Claim over Senkaku Islands

October 30, 2012

As is well-known, China had never claimed sovereignty over the Senkaku Islands
until 1968, when the United Nations Economic Commission for Asia and the Far
East published its survey findings, which noted the possible existence of huge
resources below the seabed surrounding the Senkaku Islands.

Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi, in his address made at the United
Nations General Assembly on September 27, 2012, reiterated that Japan “stole”
the Islands.

This, however, is a sheer lie, without any basis at all in historical fact and
international law. This is fully verified by a paper below, which has been
uploaded to our Website.

* The Senklaku Islands Constitute an Intrinsic Part of Japan

Now its Chinese language version is now available.

众所皆知, 在1968年, 联合国远东经济委员会(ECAFE)发表尖阁海域埋藏着巨大资源的
可能性之前, 中国从来没有主张过拥有尖阁的领有权。

然而现在的中国不仅厚着脸皮公然主张尖阁的领有权, 外交部长杨洁篪甚至在联合国
总会(2012年9月27日) 的演讲中一再强调「日本窃取了尖阁」。

这样的说词完全没有史实和国际法可作依据, 简直是「一派胡言」。以下是登载于
「史实向世界传播之会」的网站上, 针对中国所捏造的谎言提出整体性论证的论文。

尖阁诸岛是日本固有的领土
