• 2015 February 1, Sumio (草賀純男) Kusaka, “Japan and Its Territorial Claims”, in The New York Times‎^[4], archived from the original on 03 March 2015, Opinion Letters‎^[5]:

The article’s suggestion that resources might be the reason behind Japan’s claim ignores the fact that it was China that suddenly began to make its territorial claims on the Senkaku Islands in the 1970s, only after a United Nations report indicated the potential existence of oil reserves in the area. Until then, China had not contested Japan’s sovereignty for over 70 years.
