From Phantom Report
''Asahi Shimbun, one of Japan’s five major newspapers, has offered
evidence that the United States illegally handed over the disputed
Senkaku (Diaoyu or Diaoyutai) islands over to Japanese administration
along with Okinawa in 1972 by citing two declassified CIA reports,
according to Duowei News, an outlet operated by overseas Chinese.
The two reports, regarding natural resources beneath the
islands and the sovereignty dispute between China, Japan and Taiwan,
were completed before the signing of Okinawa Reversion Agreement on Jun.
17, 1971. Though the Republic of China on Taiwan was at the
time desperately trying to gain support from both the US and Japan to
keep its seat at the United Nations, it was more aggressive than the
People’s Republic of China to demand the return of the Diaoyutais, as
Taiwan refers to the islands. The report indicated that the armed forces
of the ROC might launch an amphibious assault against Japan if the
sovereignty of the disputed islands was turned over to Tokyo.''
