We are American citizens & voters. We were dismayed by Defense Secretary Jim Mattis’ statement in Japan on February 3, 2017. His statement defending Japan’s illegal claim on the Diaoyutai islands is totally wrong. We are asking you to correct this wrongful policy right away. We don’t want to waste our taxpayers’ money to defend Japan’s illegal claim.
Diaoyutai islands have belonged to China for more than six hundred years. The United States illegally handed the islands to Japan in 1972. Japan illegally claims the territory. The islands are located 70 kilometers away from China & more than 1,807 kilometers from Japan. As the old saying goes: two wrongs do not make a right. The same rationale applies here: Two illegal acts do not make it legal. Please correct the policy. Thanks
