    You complain about Japan violating international laws, how is this different? Who is provoking hostility now? Who comes out as barbaric? China is abusive and manipulative, refusing to face international tribunals to settle the conflicts because they know that there is NO WAY their actions are fair.

      Your comment is entirely irrelavant to this post that just provides the information that lots of people are interested.

      I still allow it to be posted here as I know quite some people want to express their feelings but have not place to do so. I provide you with a forum here no matter whether your feeling is justified.

      However, I do not know what the “you” means in your comment, “Me”? I do not think I am your enemy.

      The blogger is not complaining about anything but merely providing a forum for discussion. As for China’s sovereignty over disputed islands, reefs; shoals, etc, we need to look into history and understand the discoveries and voyages of the ancient past as to why China is now a major claimant.
