Well you can't see Takeshima from Ulleung Do unless you climb to the peak and have a 500mm lens on a clear day.
Don't think they had those in 1905.

What a thoughtless statement. Kindly think things over and try again, starting with how Germans and Japanese teach their young about their conducts in wartime, and conclude with the fact most Germans are ashamed of their Nazi forefathers, while the Japanese glorify their war criminals.

Abe continues to talk out both sides of his mouth and wants a "leadership summit" at the upcoming APEC meeting. China already made it plain sovereignty negotiations can only proceed if Japan backs off its "no dispute" stance, Abe's call for a summit is more for political cover than anything else.
China initiative and opportunity to become one of the founding members of a new AIIB. Some of the 4 trillion reserves can be put to work, generating more economic development across Asia. This somewhat will spread China soft power and other nations around Asia can have alternative to obtain funds to develop and protect themselves in terms of crisis or capital flight. The one time US banker, China now might want to have its own institution that it may lead. Invitation sent to Japan, but looks like Japan not joining...

Actually, no.
Ulleung Do has a height of 984 meters. The highest features on the Dokdo is 169 meters.
Some rough calculations show that visual line of sight from 984 meters is 112 kilometers.
The distance between Dokdo-Ulleung Do is 87 kilometers. Given how large the islands are (from north to south, the West Island is about 300 meters across), you can easily make them out on a clear day from that elevation.
Up and coming developing nations can have more sources of funding, building up huge infrastructures projects, developing railways, transportation corridor of goods, generating more economic activities and growth and jobs. Who knows, Philippines disaster reconstructions, Japan Fukushima rebuilding or even US itself can borrow from these banks to expand their military adventures and not cutting down personnel or tightening their belt....make hay while the sun still shine...

Japanese agreement to Article 8 of Potsdam, you can try all you want.
I agree with Blackstone, your responses have been sliding into troll mode as they offer nothing substantial to discuss anymore.
China expanding naval influence, now Greece propose joint patrol PLAN with Greek Navy...now more option for Chinese navy port of call

Crete could serve as a regional node for the support, maintenance and repair of the Chinese Navy and the possibility exists for joint naval operations between Greece and China’s People's Liberation Army Navy, the prime minister told the visiting Chinese president on Rhodes on Sunday.
"On Crete there is all the appropriate infrastructure for refuelling, maintenance and repairs for all your country’s navy units. There is a possibility of cooperation, for example, in joint patrols of war ships. And another example, in the area of fighting piracy, where the interests of our two peoples coincide," Antonis Samaras told Xi Jinping.
