“It belongs to China” – The Senkaku Problem is a full-page
advertisement in Western newspapers
[Washington – Kentaro Nakajima] China’s English-language
newspaper China Daily published a
full-page advertisement on the 28th in main newspapers such as the
Washington Post and New York Times with the headline “Diaoyu Islands [the Chinese name for Senkaku] Belong to China.”
The advertisement said that the Senkaku Islands have been
China’s territory since time immemorial, and that there has been no margin to
contest the sovereignty China has been endowed with; the Chinese government
expanded this assertion by saying, “‘Nationalization’ according to Japan
infringes on China’s sovereignty, and negates the effects of the Second
Sino-Japanese War [1937-1945—tr.].”
