Obama backs Japan over Diaoyu Islands
Print Edition
US President Barack Obama says America’s mutual security treaty with Japan applies to the Diaoyu Islands at the center of a dispute between China and Japan.
“The policy of the US is clear,” he wrote in response to questions in Japan’s Yomiuri newspaper before his arrival in Tokyo at the start of a four-country Asia tour yesterday.
The islands are “administered” by Japan, he wrote, and the US opposed any attempts to undermine Japan’s “administration of the islands.”
A Chinese government spokesman said China had indisputable sovereignty over the islands, and “the so-called Japan-US alliance” should not harm China’s territorial rights.
