The Diaoyu/Senkaku Islands

The Middle East seems to be in turmoil, Europe has its problem the currency crisis, but the number one topic in the newspapers here in China is the conflict with Japan over the Diaoyu Islands. The government-controlled China Daily runs an interesting article on the islands today, but for some reason I can’t get the online version to work in my hotel room. Anyhow, I post a link to it here.

Ironically, it’s easier to read the online version of Japan Times in my Beijing hotel. Here’s their latest article on what Japan called the Senkaku Islands.
