Dear Colleagues,
Kyodo news service reported on 31 December that the ROC cabinet had
approved a territorial sea law that explicitly includes the disputed Tiaoyu
(Diaoyu/Senkaku) and Nansha (Spratly) islands among its claimed
territories. The law is to be approved by the legislature (Legislative
Yuan).
I have been unable to locate other reports or the text of the new law. I
could not find the law on the Republic of China web site. Does anyone know
where the text might be located.
Wishing you all a very Happy New Year during this second-to-last year of
the current millennium (assuming one uses the western calendar)!
Dan Dzurek
