This book explores the historical relationship between China and
Japan, and how this has exacerbated their dispute over the Senkaku/
Diaoyu Islands in the East China Sea. There are three paradoxes in
the bilateral relationship - complex interdependence does not
preclude the possibility of open conflict; cool-headed assessments
are quickly being overtaken by nationalism and a proclivity for
irrational behaviour and lastly, both countries have invested so
much resources in claiming the islands, such that they have
neglected the costs of conflict. These paradoxes in turn stem from
two fundamental issues - differing interpretations of historical
issues and the intractability of China and Japan's positions on the
island dispute. It is argued that a festering dispute over the
islands - and even conflict - would undermine security in the Asia
Pacific and disrupt trade in the world's most economically vibrant
market. Therefore, it behoves China and Japan to work out
mutually-acceptable arrangements, not necessarily to make things
better, but at the least to keep relations from getting any worse.
It would be proposed, for example, that Japan accept the objective
reality that there is a dispute over the islands. Together with
other measures, such as a reduction of maritime activities around
the islands, would build the foundation for a long-term
rapprochement.
