U.S Defence Secretary Leon Panetta says China-Japan "heading towards war."

About the islands...


Going to keep it short and simple. This is years in the making.

Basically after WWII Japan and the US signed the treaty of San Francisco in 1951 along with 48 other nations, but at the time china was in a civil war and we did not want to take sides so no representative from china was invited. So in 1952 the treaty of Taipei was signed by Japan and China, formalizing the treaty of San Francisco.


This gave up japans rights to Taiwan “Formosa” and the 64 Paracel islands. This was a big deal to China because when Chiang Kai-shek retreaded out of china with his army he made his capital on Taiwan. Taiwan is the “Republic of China”. Not to be confused with China itself “The people’s republic of China”.

China could have cared less about these three little islands at the time. They just wanted to legally crush the remainder of the exiled government of china who created Taiwan.

But in 1968 China discovered that there were huge oil deposits under these three tiny islands. China claims they discovered the oil and owned the island sense the 14th century and japan annexed the islands in 1895 and lost control of them when they surrendered after WWII. America claimed legal rights to the islands and signed them over to japan in 1972 and at the same time japan dissolved the treaty of Taipei!

China was hoping to just get the islands handed over to them.

Now it gets sticky, China agrees the islands are part of Taiwan, and Taiwan agrees with that also. But Japan has no treaty with Taiwan and does not recognize it as a sovereign nation so legally the islands are part of Okinawa prefecture. Now the family that sold the islands to the Japanese government on September 11 2012 has legally owned them sense the beginning the 20th century when they first built a factory on the little islands.

But china considers it a violation of their territorial sovereignty now that they claim Taiwan as their own.

yes.. more imperialism... now we're talking.. lol

China vs Japan... two of the biggest trading powerhouses on earth.

Not even Ben Bernanke and JP Morgan Chase can save the global economy from this one!

Naval expert here: Great video/awesome urgency music lol. Japan should raise the Yamato, more it on the islands and fire off a couple of 18 inch salvos and the Chinese will piss their pants

what benefit would china get from going to war with japan?

Japan wouldn't stand a snowball's chance in hell against China.

Apparently you don't know your history. China has been historically dominated by Japan. The Japanese are to the Asian race what the Germans and English are to the White race. The Chinese are like the French, they give up at the first sign of trouble. Japan's technology is just as advanced as China's. However, the Japanese people don't just give up and will fight to the last man.

Only since the 1900's. Historically Asia has been dominated by China, militarily as well as culturally. 40% of the Japanese language are written using Chinese characters, Zen Buddhism was founded in China and then exported to Japan and Chinese classics like the Three Kingdoms are as big in Japan as they are in China.

In the 1500's during the Imjin war, a war lasting 7 years, the Ming Dynasty of China drove out the Tokugawa Shogunate at the cost of widespread destruction in Korea. Total casualty rate was estimated at well over a million.

LOL!!! Learn your history, man. Japan has always overrun China.

You obviously have no idea about Asian history. I am a student of East Asian studies so I actually know what I am talking about.

I agree. Would love to see:

1. nuclear war
2. financial collapse
3. global civil unrest
4. wall street burned to the ground
5. DC burned to the ground
6. all bankers, puppets, and royals hung in the trees
7. aliens
8. mega tsunamis
9. super volcanoes
10. fukushima reactor 4 blow up
11. mass extinctions
12. asteroids & comets impact earth
13. jupiter ignition
14. peak oil
15. new madrid quake
16. california mega quake
17. earth crust displacement
18. nibiru
19. nano viruses
20. stuxnet go live
21. AND ISRAEL NUKED INTO A GLASS PARKING LOT

Indeed this game fucking sucks. No doom ever happens. It's all for control and fear. Major upgrades are needed in the next version.

Why is China so pissed off about these islands? I know they are near China ... but it seems like more than that ...

As I was saying...tptb are going to try and nuke America. This is all a giant false flag to send the ICBMs our way. We have to get WAY AHEAD OF THIS if we're going to stop it! Work as hard and as fast as you can to figure out the next step, to get the truth of the false flags to everyone you can.

Convince your friends, family, neighbors. I told mine about a month ago that tptb were going to nuke America, and make it look like another country did it, so they're taking it a little more seriously than just another bunch of daily normal news.

This is why a foreign-born, US-hating president is in the White House, so he would be ready to stand down while our faces melt off. DON'T LET IT HAPPEN!

There are brilliant minds here. And there are SO MANY MORE OF US than there are of them. We may be ants and they may be grasshoppers, but they'll never stand against our numbers and our resolve to not be pushed around and not be bagged, gagged, and tagged!

Finally, please pray. God hears our prayers, and we really need to make our needs known now. Pray for peace, pray for the healing of the illuminutties' minds. Keep your life as clean as possible. Make your relationships right, with God and with each other. And don't forget to breathe - in and out. All of this will come out right in the end, one way or another!

Can you imagine your next door neighbor walking over to you and say "hey bob did you know that tptb is going to nuke america" lol

Here in Australia, we depend very heavily on those two nations economically. Japan buys most of our coal and China buys most of our iron ore.

If those two nations go at each other's throats, we're put in a very difficult position (and not just economically).

As for the U.S, it faces the prospect of either having to abandon its defence/security pact with Japan or voluntarily start WW3 by default of joining Japan against China.

Interesting times huh?

Sure you are and I'm the Pope. I'll trust my college degrees and not your alternative view of history. Sorry.

there are so many potential fireworks around the earth its almost as if they are queueing up to fulfill 2012 prophecy.China has been flexing its muscles lately with Japan over the SENkaku islands, the Spratley islands,sending its vessels to the med etc.Personaly i cant see this one getting past the argument over the fence stage with some concilliation treaty but having said that Japan look belligerent and i wonder how far they arte willing to go in a tight poker game and for that amtter how far china are prepared to up the anti in a very very serious situation we arent talking about syria turkey friction here this is big team players and the consequenses would have to be global

THERE WILL BE NO JAPAN-CHINA WAR...

The Security Treaty Between the United States and Japan - 8 September 1951, and the more updated Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the United States and Japan, January 19, 1960, are still in full force and effect.

If anyone is interested I can tell you who is really behind stoking the Chinese fire, anyone interested in hearing the truth?

I don't know where you get this idea since Japan has spent most of their time cowering on their island and their culture has always been heavily influenced by China. As the earlier poster said Japan got its arse kicked by China-Korea in the 16th century and only in the very late 19th century and early 20th century did Japan gain the upperhand against China.

I got the idea from the history classes I took while I was in college. I'm not sure what history you're studying but I'll trust my college degrees before I trust some idiot on a conspiracy board.

Have you never heard of the Sino-Japanese Wars?

Japan has invaded China on multiple occasions.
