A wall of text does not strengthen your position. Please refute my claims that China ceded this land as Japanese until 1970, when resources were found. Thanks.

The only ones who want America out of the Pacific are the Chinese and fools. Take a look at the map of Chinese claims to their territorial waters and if that doesn't open your eyes you are willfully blind.
Here's a link even.

Here is evidence relating to the islands ownership. This is evidence coming directly from CHINA. Not Japan or the US. Respond to this actual EVIDENCE. I know you won't since you cant.
In the 1920's, Chinese Consul Feng Mien wrote a letter which the Japanese have on display that list the Senkaku islands as being part of the Empire of Japan.
1953, The People's Daily (communist part controlled paper so it's official) states the islands are Japanese.
In 1965, The Grand Atlas of the World Vol. 1 (Chinese) lists the Senkaku islands as being Japanese.
In 1969 the official PRC map lists Senkaku as being Japanese.

Recently Lee Teng-hui, the former President of Republic of China stated the Senkaku islands were Japanese (which is what his whole generation grew up believing).

Where Israel is right now used to be called something else and owned by other people didnt it? But they owned it from the start right?
So if jews own Israel, then the Chinese own the islands and it also means that Argentina owns the las malvinas or whatever they are called. Blame Israel.
And do you really think China even cares? China is just showing the US that they no longer care what America says and they are pretty much telling America to shut up and mind its business. How cool is that?

China is beyond outclassed militarily in this region by the U.S. Navy. Add to this the ability of the USAF to strike anytime anywhere and it makes China appear to be just Bitching about Energy.
China is well aware that should it take any military action agaist Japan the U.S. is obligated to defend Japan. China is also aware that it could not even come close to winning such a battle.
It makes one wonder just exactly what they are up to.

China is not exactly outclassed military wise. The chines womens army has more soldiers enlisted than the entire US population, and that is only their womens army.

Outnumbered and outclassed are two different things. What exactly will those huge numbers of women soldiers do against US forces? Are they going to grow wings and fly into the air and catch missiles? Shoot laser beams out of their eyes to attack our Navy?

Ok.. ^You got me there and are finally right about something.
You've missed the point that in the grand scheme, the islands do not matter one zip if China decides to completely stop listening to Allied rhetoric and that is what is going to happen if they continue on their current path of war.
When this whole diplomatic foreign relation facade crumbles as soon as allies make the wrong move they are B-lining straight toward, those islands will be Chinese territory in a matter of minutes and you can say it's not fair all you want, but those islands are going to be nothing more than a token joke piece.

umm, no. I think airplanes will do, growing wings will take to long. And lasers I don´t think will do either, I think more like missiles, ordinary missiles, not laser missiles either. The fact is, the US has been going around the world showing their army´s strenght now for about 70-80 years or so almost non-stop. we have a pretty clear picture of what the US army is capable of. But China hasn´t done that, we have no idea what they have in store for the world if a global conflict would errupt. We wouldn´t know if they outclassed the US for example in tech. Just think of it ok, we don´t know. It is still a verry closed country and they could very well have developed tech that surpass the US and also in number of airplanes, ships etc etc. Numbers in manpower they already have, so why wouldn´t they also have outnumbered the US in airplanes, ships, subs etc. Just because you say no it doesn´t make it a fact. And what I say is not a fact either, but it is a possibility. Don´t say stuff for a fact when you can´t possibly be knowing it for a fact.

How do they cripple the US? Tell me some of these many ways. What will they do when their entire import/export economy is shut down from our naval blockades?
