NEW YORK |
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Japan has sovereignty over the islands at the heart of a dispute with China and therefore will not compromise on ownership, Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda said on Wednesday.
"They are an inherent part of our territory in light of history and also under international law," Noda said in reference to the Senkaku Islands.
"Therefore, there cannot be any compromise that represents a retreat from this position," he told a news conference in New York after attending the U.N. General Assembly.

You succeeded in something Adolf Hitler tried but failed in Japan–
promote the Asian Aryan racist theory among Japanese leaders to gobble up land from other Asian countries with the support of U.S.A. & through the twisting of the arms of U.S.A, now a half-hearted, half-willing Australia, by playing up a Chinese threat that was never there.
Hilary is better compared to Stalin, who succeeded by playing up the German threat to convince U.S.A. to cover up Soviet war crimes against the Poles & other Eastern European countries. For many years, Eastern Europeans were fools to consider Americans as pure-hearted liberators Only in recent years to multiple Eastern Europeans realize how they were sold out completely by FDR to Stalin because FDR bought into the threat of German being overriding, and all that BS. Hilary the traitor to world peace & justice; Hilary the master-manipulator against democratic principles — that will be your legacy, Hilary.
