Three authors from the Institute of Japanese Studies, CICIR have analyzed geographical boundaries of the Ryukyu Islands from different perspectives to respond to Japan's view on this issue.
Recently some documents on the "Senkaku Islands" posted on the -Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs' official website were used to "prove" that "China views the Senkaku Islands (Diaoyu Islands) as part of Okinawa." One of the documents was an article published in the People's Daily back on January 8, 1953. The article's was headlined Okinawans Fight Against American Occupation? For the moment, let's delay discussion of this, but Japan's interpretation of this article has been taken out of context and is deceitful; let alone the preposterousness of citing an article in a newspaper as proof of a country's view on territorial sovereignty.
