Deconstructing Japan’s Claim of Sovereignty over the
Diaoyu/Senkaku Islands. / : Ivy Lee and Fang Ming The Asia-Pacific
Journal, Vol 10, Issue 53, No. 1, December 31, 2012.
“The near universal conviction in Japan with which the
islands today are declared an ’integral part of Japan’s
territory‘ is remarkable for its disingenuousness. These are
islands unknown in Japan till the late 19th century (when they were
identified from British naval references), not declared Japanese
till 1895, not named till 1900, and that name not revealed publicly
until 1950."
