They do. There's even talks with the private owner of outright buying the islands. It's just the fucking Governor of Tokyo won't shut his trap. He's such an asshole. He constantly flaps his gums about how he's going to not let any Chinese vessels come remotely close and all sorts of shit. He even had the balls to tell them he'd give the Chinese back the dead baby panda and call it Senkaku.
But the Chinese won't stop with the idiocy. They trespassed on the islands a while ago and had some people arrested. They rioted at one point and had a few anti-Japanese rallies.
It's just pure idiocy and hate at this point.
It has a lot to do with money as well. There are supposedly large reserves of oil in that area as well as lots of potential for minerals and fishing.
Both sides may be acting like idiots but really China is acting absurd when it comes to "disputing" territory it doesn't have any right to own. Check out this map of waters China claims to own. They think they have rights to water literally right up against the coast line of countries Malaysia, Brunei and the Philippines and almost right up against the coast of Vietnam.
But then again the world has been letting China do shit like this for decades now so I guess I can't really blame them for thinking they can continue to get away with this type of behavior.

It wasn't random... I just didn't want to keep talking about my new job in case people were already thinking "STFU MAGIC"... I was cleaning the bathrooms at work and they use a bleach/water mixture. Didn't even think about being careful, and after I'm done cleaning I noticed my shirt was ruined... Even worse I noticed my beautiful converse shoes had bleach splotches all over them. I'm not a material objects kinda gal... But I'm still pretty sad about it.
Anticor is his avatar.China's not touching them, so they can't get mad. That's how it works.Quote:
