Positive view: Diaoyu Island belongs to China.
Diaoyu Island is a part of China. There are pictures to prove it: Mo Bao, the only ancient celebrity on Diaoyu Island, has been recorded at all times and all over the world-Qian Qingyong's Six Chapters of a Floating Life, Volume V (* * * about 6,200 words). This is a book written by Qian Yong before 1840. It is an ancient calligraphy work. When Japanese collectors learned about it, they offered 6 million yuan to buy the book. Among them, the page "Introduction to the Enclaved Ryukyu Kingdom" records "Worship Heishuigou from afar, and then worship Tianhou Palace. Suddenly I saw Bai Yan as big as a gull, flying around Qiang, and the wind changed in the morning. On the morning of the 14th, I vaguely saw Aunt Mi Zhu enter the Ryukyu boundary. " In this passage, it is very clear that "I vaguely saw Gumi Mountain and entered the Ryukyu border". Obviously, the western territory of Ryukyu Kingdom started from Kumi Mountain (now Kumi Island in Okinawa). Taking Heishuigou as the dividing line between China (Qing court) and Ryukyu Kingdom is in line with historical facts. Diaoyutai Island is obviously within the territory of China and does not belong to Ryukyu. Professor Cai Genxiang, an expert on Six Chapters of a Floating Life, and the author of the last two annotations of Six Chapters of a Floating Life, a professor at Kaohsiung Normal University in Taiwan Province Province, told the reporter that the true records in the fifth chapter of Six Chapters of a Floating Life are enough to show the exchanges between China and Ryukyu in the Qing Dynasty, especially the direct exchanges between the two countries, which have extraordinary historical and political significance.
It is understood that Diaoyu Island is also called Diaoyutai and Diaoyu Island. One of the main reasons why Japan claims sovereignty over Diaoyu Island is that Japanese Koga Chenshiro discovered the island in 1884. This point is intended to claim that the Japanese are the discoverers of Diaoyu Island. On the page of "Introduction to the Enclaved Ryukyu Kingdom", lines 8 and 9 clearly read "On the 13th, I saw Diaoyutai, which looked like a pen." Looking up the above, it was May in the thirteenth year of Jiaqing (AD 1808), and the detailed statement was that "(author Shen Fu) saw the Diaoyutai, which looked like a pen." Here, Shen Fu recorded that the time of seeing Diaoyutai (Island) was 76 years earlier than that of Japanese Koga Chenshiro. Moreover, after investigation, the original Qian Yong in Qing Dynasty was copied in Daoguang for three years (AD 1823), and its preservation time was 6 1 year earlier than the so-called discovery of the Senkaku Islands (that is, the Diaoyutai Islands) in Japan. According to the principle of preemption in international law, China discovered Diaoyutai Island before Japan, which belongs to China.
Objection: Diaoyu Island belongs to Japan.
On September 24th, 2008, Lee Teng-hui, former leader of Taiwan Province Province, gave a speech in Japan. When he visited Okinawa, he publicly stated that "Diaoyu Island used to be Japan". In order to solve this fishing ground problem, Taiwan Province Province (the authorities) should consult with the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. At the luncheon attended by Governor Okinawa, he publicly stated that "Diaoyu Island was a Japanese territory during the Japanese occupation, and Taiwan Province Province was also a Japanese territory at that time, so many Japanese fishermen would go to Diaoyu Island to fish, and the fish was * * *."
Some netizens said: First of all, there is no legal relationship between Diaoyutai and Taiwan Province Province, and the Japanese did not buy Diaoyutai according to treaty of shimonoseki. The factual evidence existed in the signing process of treaty of shimonoseki. Japan included the Diaoyutai in its territory at the Japanese cabinet meeting in1June 895+1April1October, and only three months later (1June 895,1April 7) did it sign the treaty of shimonoseki with the Qing Dynasty in China. Obviously, there is no legal relationship between Taiwan Province Province and Diaoyutai. Otherwise, why did Japan separate Taiwan Province Province from Diaoyutai? More importantly, Diaoyutai is not an uninhabited island. Japanese Koga Shiro led the masses from 1895 to Diaoyutai for reclamation. By 1909, there were 90 * * 248 immigrants, and the scale of reclamation was not small. There are still the remains of the Koga family on the island.
China's history books also make it clear that China was once a part of Mongolia (Yuan Dynasty), so should China return the territory to Mongolia? The territory of China is constantly changing in China's ancient books. Which one shall prevail? If all countries in the world do this, Italy will declare that Britain, Germany and France are the inherent territory of Italy with the ancient books of the Roman Empire, and Greece will claim sovereignty to India and Persia with the ancient books of Alexander the Great. Is there such a ridiculous thing in the world? Besides, these ancient books in China are private travel notes, and some books can't even be verified by the real authors, so they have no legal effect at all.
16 15 when Japanese Murayama and others made a five-year expedition to Taiwan Province province, they were informed by Shang Ning, the Ryukyu country. He sent someone to tell China that Cheng Huang Xuan, then governor of Fujian, China, had broadcast this story in the forty-fourth year of Wanli (A.D. 16 16). He said in his recitation: (The chicken coop forced me to look east, only a few miles away from the flood season (Penghu). If the Japanese win this, they will benefit from collecting mountains from the East (referring to Taiwan Province Province) to strengthen their nests. ) The chicken coop is now Keelung, which should refer to the island of Taiwan Province Province at that time. The use of "chicken coop forcing me to look down on the East" in the recital is obviously to regard Taiwan Province Province as a foreign country, and even Taiwan Province Province is regarded as a foreign country by China, let alone a small country.
Japan's acquisition of Diaoyutai is entirely based on the "preemption of ownerless land" in international law; "Effective governance". 1879, Japan abandoned Ryukyu and established Okinawa prefecture. 1March, 879, compiled by Japanese Chinese bee Matsui, and the Complete Map of Great Japan published by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Japanese government included the Diaoyutai Islands in the Japanese territory.
These are the pros and cons of this question.
