From what I have read, they look more like they should have been given back to the Chinese by the Americans after the war.

Japan is getting a bit provocative over them.

Not good news, the Chinese will not want to back down (lose face)

Now the Spratley's, they are a different story - China should back off those!

1298391 2012-09-02 11:56:00 Wasn't aware of this dispute Digby but I believe China is pouring concrete and attaching iron to one of the rocks in the Spratleys. It's below sea-level at high tide but funnily enough appears to be growing higher... Winston001 (3612)

I will agree with you to a certain extent but China worries me more than the Japs at the moment.
Google earth couldn't find the disputed island under either name.

It is interesting to learn a bit about Far East histoty.

Japan and China and Korea have been fighting one another on and off for a long time.
