Mr. Yi's comments are very contradictory as far as occupation of other's territory is concerned. Mr. Yi's assertion that Japan has been occupying Senkaku island illegally and his government will do everything to extricate it from the Japanese clutches. He also seems to abhor anyone to occupy other's land. China's recent veiled comments about Russia being in Crimea ( part of Ukrain) is a live example. However, Mr. Yi's government has been occupying thousands of miles of an Indian territory in the north since 1962, his government violated the sovereignty of Tibet and has taken over the whole country since 1959, and also the daily encroachment in the Arunachal Pradesh (part of India) of Chinese soldiers is of no less significance. These are just a few contradictory examples which do not run parallel to what Mr. Yi is attributing in this article. Ironically, Mr. Yi also is insinuating that China wants to de-nuclearize that part of the world whereas his government is extending all sorts of financial assistance to North Korea to develop nuclear weapons. He also talks about 'no confrontation' model of relationship with his neighbors to have a 'win-win' situation whereas his comments to extricate the Island from under Japanese authorities with all Chinese might insinuate something else, and he further says that there is no compromise on this issue - how ironical it is? So the question now in front of the whole world is how to read the mind and acts of Chinese authorities as far as their occupation of others' territory is concerned. This writer has been left with no other conclusion than to say that China picks and choses what is suiting their needs first irrespective of what the whole world thinks and says. Having 'no confrontation', 'win-win' situation, as well as non-occupation of 'others' territory are just the political slogans to fool the world. THE BALL IS IN THE COURT OF AN INTERNATIONAL FORUM TO JUDGE THE SINCERITY OF CHINESE DESIGNS.
