As a reminder sir, UNCLOS is a UN agreement governing our behavior in the sea. It states that you have 12 miles of sea from your border and 200 miles of sea for your exclusive economic zone. Or maybe you do not know that China is also a signatory to said Treaty. That is the very reason you do not want to participate in the international arbitration. It is a pity that the chinese are given the wrong information and are fed with information that would turn them against their Asian brothers. I will not be surprise if after years your com. gov't. will tell you that you are the chosen raise and must rule on the world.

Lex Ona • 8 years ago

Im not condoning Argentina's act but if the Chinese honor the UNCLOS of which the communist chinese government is a signatory, it will not happen. The Com. Gov't. of China signs and signs document and do not honor it. There was once a Gov't. in our country that has so many shortcomings. We deal with it, we answered it with people power. Just hoping that China will realize that they are a billion strong, and a couple of million communist won't stand a chance. Hoping that our Chinese brothers in Asia will someday see the light.

Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) called on Abe’s government to firmly ask China for the prompt resumption of talks on the drilling issue, as well as to consider taking the case to an international arbitration court.

“If China shrugs off the request, some action must be taken,” Yoshiaki Harada, head of an LDP panel on resources development in the East China Sea.

"some action must be taken"

An action of Force, is what China needs, for it's unilateral development, despite a 2008 agreement to maintain cooperation on resources development in the area, where no official border between them has been drawn.

Japan is full of ghost towns as its depopulation accelerates. Its population will be halved in a generation.

Japan and China should fought over Australia, Canada, Alaska, US, Palestine,
S America, New Zealand, Hawaii, Polynesia Islands, Falkland Islands, Greenland, .......Instead they are fighting each other. Both, but especially
Japan now, respect white people because white people have shown they can kill foreign races so well.

Reaper • 8 years ago

China kills PLENTY as well, except they prefer to kill THEIR OWN PEOPLE. Its sad that you fought for your own oppression. Your people are pathetic, cowards who are too afraid to fight for freedom. Instead you a commie govt to control everything you hear on tv and in movies. Blacks are better th?an Chinese, at least they wanted and fought for freedom

Shooi Dan Tom • 8 years ago

We are learning to kill other people from white people so get off the cross.

UNCLOS clearly states there can be overlapping jurisdictions which must be negotiated BETWEEN THE STATES. Both China and the Japan are required to work it out themselves. Neither the UN, nor the Hague has jursidiction to determine territorial limits in overlapping jurisdictions.

Japan can only resolve the problem through diplomatic relations because its constitution forbids military intervention.

Szechenyi... deputy director of at CSIS, lays out the resources dispute in strong detail... omiting a few salient points after declaring "no talks" since 2010:

Jan. 21, 2015 (Xinhua) -- China's Foreign Ministry confirmed the third round of high-level consultations on maritime affairs between China and Japan on Wednesday. The talks, held between officials from both countries' foreign ministries, defense ministries and other maritime affairs departments, are being held in Japan and will last three days, said Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying at a daily press briefing.

On November 4, 2015, in Kuala Lumpur, the Japanese and Chinese defense ministers met to discuss maritime cooperation.

Negotiations over a maritime communication mechanism have been long-running and are proceeding on multiple tracks. There is the Japan-China Maritime Communications Mechanism (JCMCM), the Maritime Search and Rescue Cooperation Agreement (SAR Agreement), and the High-Level Consultation on Maritime Affairs (High-Level Consultations). Each proposed agreement has a slightly different purpose: the JCMCM is primarily a defense arrangement, the SAR Agreement a civilian arrangement, and the High-Level Consultation a forum to bring together a myriad of stakeholders in a whole-of-government effort. Each agreement has been proceeding – on again, off again – on its own schedule.

I agree with this smart column. Thanks for contributing.
But of course Japan now prepares for an information & intelligence warfare and psychological warfare and even the start of the warfare against China's invasion.

philippinefailblog.com • 8 years ago

funny, it is your country that invaded, attempted to invade, and tried to harass China in history for several times. Don't you forget that.

MalaysianExpat • 8 years ago

Yuan Dynasty attempted once and actually invaded Japan once. Japan invaded China once.

So the score is kind of 1.5 to 1 (China: Japan).

wei • 8 years ago

If you check the time line, the Mongol still at war with Song dynasty when they start to invade Japan.

MalaysianExpat • 8 years ago

That's Southern Song which was on the verge of collapse during the invasion.

The old Northern Song was under the control of the Mongols after the defeated the Jin.

wei • 8 years ago

per your standard, should we said that India pillage, conquor, and rule 1/4 the world during 1900s (it more ture compare with your statement since British rule 100% India, and the indian join the British military out of their own free will, while the Mongol don't offer such choice.).

get the history straight. Buddy. Yuan Dynasty attempted to invade Japan. True! But they are Mongolians!

Second, Japan attempted to invade China during Ming Dynasty (where in Chinese history book they are called Japanese pirates who harassed China); then Qing Dynasty, Japan succeeded in invading China along with the other Western powers.

Then World War II.

MalaysianExpat • 8 years ago

You get the history right.

The armies sent by the Mongolian to invade Japan is made up of the Chinese soldiers from the coastal provinces. May be that's why they were defeated by the Japanese. The Mongolian should have done it themselves.

The so called 'wokou' is actually mostly Chinese with some Japanese and Korean among them. Do you know that who is Zheng Zhilong? He is a typical wokou.

You can argue that Toyotomi Hideyoshi attempted to invade China via Korea but he never made it to China.

So 1.5:1.5, even score.

wei • 8 years ago

"The Mongolian should have done it themselves." Did anyone from Mogolian republic win any international swimming contest or show off their seahorse riding skill?

disqusdamnuserid • 8 years ago

wow.
foolish commentators never cease to amaze me when they don't do a basic research before spewing on the forum.
Yuan failed to invade due to typhoon impeding complete landing and invasion of Japan.

MalaysianExpat • 8 years ago

Ya, blame it on the weather, not once but twice.

Please do more research (I mean proper reseach) before embarassing yourself here.

The first invasion force was decisively defeated by the Japanese at the Battle of Torikai-Gata. The typhoon hit them when they tried to escape back to China.

The second invasion force was blocked from landing by well prepared Japanese coastal defense (a series of battles known as Battle of Koan). The invasion force had to stay put in their fleet when the typhoon hit them. They couldn't secure a beach head (despite trying at multiple landing points).

Amphitious assault is always a very difficult task especially if your enemies knew where you would be landing. Take it as a lesson and a reminder to the Fengchin in PRC who think they can invade Taiwan.

yeah. right. The armies were comprised of Chinese indeed. But who did the brain work???????? In a court room, the mastermind will be punished more severely than the accomplice. Tell me if it is wrong.

You blame the Chinese people who were ruled by Mongolians???????? Are you kidding me? It is either you die or I die situation. When the Mongolians placed their swords on the neck of each Chinese soldier and their family. You had better act.

P.S. I am also aware that in history, some Chinese exploited the opportunity of those wokou. Indeed, they impersonated Japanese pirates. But why did that happen in the first place? The Japanese provided a perfect chance for some rebellious Chinese who simply exploited the chance of being a Japanese pirate. In a different perspective, it also proved that the Japanese harassed China in history.

It is funny that people in Japan has this mindset of "the pot calling the kettle black". Seriously, back in Tang Dynasty, China did not even need invade Japan and the Japanese came to learn Chinese characters. That is why you will find some Japanese characters appear to be exactly the same as the Chinese traditional characters. Did we even try to invade them back during the period.

We would rather mind our own business. I will have no problem with you calling Chinese people cowards as they dare not to fight against their ruling class. What is the point when you can earn some bread???? The Chinese only rise up against the ruling class or invaders when they are so cruel and ruthless that the Chinese commoners can barely make a living.

If the Eight Western Powers invaded China and never looted anything, I am sure that now I would be probably speaking English only or Japanese only. It is too bad that they failed to do so. They invaded, looted, raped, and killed so much that we cannot withstand such brutality and ruthlessness. When people reach this point, they will arm themselves and fight.

MalaysianExpat • 8 years ago

So PRC or China is only made up of Chinese? THe Mongolian and the Manchurian are not part of Chinese? Very han chauvinist of you.

That's not impersonation of Japanese. Wokou has always been a mixed race of Chinese, Japanese and Korean with the Chinese making up the biggest numbers. These are essentially soldiers or their descendants who lost in the power play in the China, Japan and Korea

Strictly speaking, the eight western powers didn't invade PRC. They formed a relief force to rescue their merchants and ambassadors who were pinned down in Peking by the Boxer mobs backed by Qing Government. It is self defense.

If Vietnam or Philippines starts to imprison all the PRC Citizens and killed or threaten to kill all of them, don't you think PRC should send a expeditionary force to rescue them?

what is the phrase again?? Double standard

MalaysianExpat • 8 years ago

You said it, not me but I think pretty good description of PRC.

pretty good description of you sir. not me. You and your anti-Chinese sentiments carry the double standards. I am simply applying this back to you.

MalaysianExpat • 8 years ago

I am not anti-Chinese.

Of course to people with heart of glass (and that include many PR Chinese), it is convenient to label messenger of any inconvenient truth as anti-Chinese.

no i dont think so. Cuz PRC never does anything about it. Remember the Indonesian Incident that kills those Chinese descendants????

You just want to twist all my words. Funny. When Mongolians invaded Japan, blame the Chinese. When the Mongolians want independence, blame the Chinese. People like you will never feel satisfied about what China does, did, and will do.

Clearly, when you want to argue that China is evil, the Mongolians invaded Japan, blame the Chinese, as the Chinese listened and took actions;

When you want Mongolians to gain independence, blame the Chinese Han, as the Chinese barbarically ruled the Mongolians.

Which one is it??? Mongolians or Chinese????? You gotta be kidding me. If you recognize that the Chinese armies led by Mongolians were part of China, what is the point of requesting "Free Inner Mongolia????"

If you are asking "Free Inner Mongolia", then what is the point of accusing the Chinese of invading Japan???????

Both arguments suit you only when it serves your purposes.

MalaysianExpat • 8 years ago

If you insist that Yuan and Qing Dynasty are not Chinese, why are you claiming Yuan's and Qing's territories like inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, TIbet, Manchuria as Chinese territories?
