Sino-Japanese relations have deteriorated to the point of total collapse because of disputes over the ownership of Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands in the East China Sea. What were the immediate causes of this conflict? What were the contextual factors that made the confrontation worse? What was the strategic thinking behind the decisions adopted by the two governments? How will this crisis affect the two countries' close economic relationship? How can Beijing and Tokyo avoid further escalations? What was the role and stake of the United States in this dispute? This lecture will explore these vital issues.
