Only if we can guarantee that the Lamas won't be back in power once they do. Tibet was a horrible place under their rule too.

However, with the recent mining sales, they have nearly bought it all anyway and shipped it back as copper, iron ore etc.

He won't be able to go that far....but I'm sure the Chinese will remember these little taunts when they retake their Japanese colony.

I recently posted a commentary by Han-Yi Shaw, a scholar from Taiwan, arguing that Japan in effect stole the Diaoyu/Senkaku islands from China in 1895 as the spoils of war. I invited Japanese scholars to make the opposing case, and I am happy to post a response from Takayuki Nishi, an Assistant Professor at the Global Regional Center of Shizuoka Prefectural University. As always, I welcome your comments and feedback. -- Nicholas Kristof
The People's Republic of China's claim that the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands are an "inherent territory" of China contradicts its own demands before 1970.

Along those lines, the Navajo reservation,already the largest in the US and larger than many US states and other countries(It's almost the size of South Korea), could be expanded to the original territory, which would probably triple it's size...
...but honestly, I'd just settle for making it the 52nd state so it actually shows up on maps

The Diaoyu/Senkaku Islands: A Japanese Scholar Responds

Interesting. Very interesting indeed.
Russell wrote:Though I think Japan has a strong case under International Law, I find this reply from Nishi severely lacking.
First of all, he is apparently unaware that the NYT is a court of public opinion, not the court of law. What a fornicating PR disaster.
Second, his response gives the impression that Japan's position is mainly based on a 1953 commie newspaper article, which makes his argument less convincing. He could have done better. This is a missed opportunity.

What's this '"one-plus-one" investment policy'?
