Japan And China in heated dispute over ownership of birdshit covered rock in pacific. - Polidicks

[B]Source[/B] [URL="http://edition.cnn.com/2010/BUSINESS/09/22/china.japan.island.dispute/"]http://edition.cnn.com/2010/BUSINESS/09/22/china.japan.island.dispute/[/URL] Something tells me that this goes beyond a mere border dispute, China is still very scarred by their occupation by their Japanese neighbors in WW2, this is China's opportunity to get their own back. Although Japan is having none of it. It seems to be getting worse by the day too, both seem to be adamant that its theirs. *UPDATE* In response to Japan's bitching, China has blocked it's export of valuable dirt and muck to Japan. They want the Japanese government to release a Chinese fisherman who apparently decided to take matters into his own hands and decided he would ram two Japanese military boats around the now legendary rock.

And then nothing happened.

We fix it by blowing it up!

[QUOTE=CertainDOOM;24975821]And then nothing happened.[/QUOTE] Yeah probably nothing will happen, although it is one of those things that just won't solve itself overnight. China and japan really wants that rock, not just for nationalistic reasons but for the sea around it for valuable gas reserves, Taiwan also have staked a claim, but who cares about them they have no political clout when it comes to China and Japan.

First they'll come for the rocks, Then they'll come for Hawaii. :v:

My mom still hates Japanese people Older generations are weird as hell

Well, the excrements of seabirds are really rich in P, and there arn't many sources of P besides seabird excrements to begin with, and thus there's very good money in it, so there's obviously gonna be crying about it.

spratly islands pt. 2

Japan is probably the most pacifist country on earth, I reckon they'll back down if china starts to shove it's military weight around

I'm pretty sure that Japan won't back down if China tries to muscle it's way through. Japan isn't one to start anything but I'm pretty sure they won't pussy out and not do anything to defend themselves.

Then Russia comes and no one has it.

pretty sure USA is going to have to intervene somehow, which is kinda stupid and imminent.

Japan should get the rock because they make naruto.

and Sushi

somebody should just airstrike the bloody thing so we don't have to argue over it.

[QUOTE=scurr;24979654]somebody should just airstrike the bloody thing so we don't have to argue over it.[/QUOTE] Airstrike millions of $$$... not gonna happen.

and later after years of claims the rock sunks because earth was sick of japan and china

Reminds me of Operation Flashpoint

And then out of nowhere, Taiwan joins in.

And then out of nowhere, North Korea Best Korea nukes the rock in a show of arrogance. Ten days later Japan and China are friends, NK is no more. :sigh: I wish.

[QUOTE=CertainDOOM;24975821]And then nothing happened.[/QUOTE] Brilliant.

[QUOTE=Best4bond;24975827]We fix it by blowing it up![/QUOTE] Or perhaps we can let North Korea do it so they can feel good about blowing up a rock and showing the world how tough they are.

I say we take the islands over for facepunch

[QUOTE=LordLoss;24977454]Japan is probably the most pacifist country on earth, I reckon they'll back down if china starts to shove it's military weight around[/QUOTE] Japan has the world's second highest military budget, likely spent on creating giant mechanical lizards that would rape the faces off of anything China threw at them.

And so begins the third world war.

China is testing how far they can go without the U.S. taking Japan's side now that Japan-American relations are at a low. The Japanese government is mostly playing it cool by telling people to do business as normal though, so it probably won't be long until America butts in.

This story keeps getting better and better.

Australia claims stake to shit covered rock, arguing that they have nowhere to put excess kangaroo. Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard states, "These effin' kangaroo are gettin' [unintelligible]-o, mate. Way too manny kangaroo up in hea." Ms. Gillard threatens to no longer invite China or Japan to the biannual "shrimp on tha' barbie," and to withhold their famous "Bloomin' Down Unda Onion Rings" from Outback Steakhouses across the planet if their claim is not recognized. A spokesperson for the American government has intervened on Australia's behalf, agreeing to transport the massive numbers of kangaroo to the shit covered rock in exchange for research rights into weaponizing the rock's shit.

Im gonna steal the rock to stop the stupid argurment and turn China into North Koreanism
