Anti-Japan Protests in China - In Focus - The Atlantic

Sep 17, 2012 |

A long-standing conf lict over the sovereignty of a group of eight t iny, uninhabited islands in the

East China Sea has resulted in dozens of anti-Japanese protests across China, some violent.The dispute came to a head after the Japanese government nationalized control of three of the largest islands earlier this mont h, purchasing them from a private Japanese family for morethan US$25 million. The island group is called Senkaku Islands by the Japanese, Diaoyu Islandsby the Chinese, Tiaoyutai Islands by Taiwanese, or t he Pinnacle Islands by English speakers.Beyond national pride, potentially large gas reserves and fishing rights have raised the stakes,and China is now moving to assert its claim to the islands, cont ain the demonstrations athome, and respond forcefully to what it sees as a major Japanese provocation.
