Reviewing Hiroshi Ohnichi's "Some Thinking of the Sovereignty Disputes over the Diaoyu Islands"

Hiroshi Ohnichi, a famous Japanese expert in economic diplomacy, is one of the representatives in this regard.

He expresses his views on the bilateral issue in a quite objective way. The authors of this essay present their comments on Hiroshi Ohnichi ' s article.
