Japan’s strained relationship dates with its neighbors back long before the start of the Second War. In addition to accusations that Japan whitewashes history and doesn’t show signs of remorse over its past military aggression, there’s the matter of competing claims on a group of islands in the resource rich East China Sea.
Japan calls them Senkaku. China says they’re the Diaoyu and belong to them. This territorial conflict is one conversation taking place in Asia… now.
Joining me once again on the program via Skype is Suhith Sitarthan, a strategic analyst who has worked for the top think tanks in the Netherlands and Australia.
You heard from Suhith in the podcast, now I want to hear from you. Who do you think has the better claim? Are the islands an inherent part of Japan or should have they been returned to China as part of the Potsdam Proclamation?
