If
you thought it was complicated when "only" China and Japan were
disputing the recent escalation in property rights over who owns those
three particular rock in the East China Sea, to be henceforth called the
Senkaku Islands for simplicity's sake because things are about to get
far more confusing, here comes
Taiwan,
aka the Republic of China, not to be confused with the People's
Republic of China for the simple reason that the latter officially
asserts itself to be the sole legal representation of China and actively
claims Taiwan to be under its sovereignty, denying the status and
existence of ROC as a sovereign state (yet one which benefits from US
backing), to also stake its claim over the disputed Senkaku Islands. It
has done so in a very confusing manner: by replicating what it thinks
China did some days ago when an "armada" of 1000 fishing boats set sail
in an unknown direction and which the trigger happy media immediately
assumed was in direction Senkaku. It subsequently turned out that this
was not the case and as
we reported,
"China's fishing season stops every year in June-September in the East
China Sea, where the islands are located. This year, the ban was lifted
on Sunday." In short the (PR)China fishing boat amrada was not headed
toward the Senkakus. Taiwan however did not get the memo, and as NKH
reports, "
several dozen Taiwanese fishing boats have set sail for the disputed Senkaku islands in the East China Sea, to claim access to their fishing grounds."
