問題詳情

五、閱讀測驗 12% (請於答案卷上作答) (一)Since the 1970’s, the Japanese government has claimed, “From 1885 on, surveys ofthe Senkaku Islands (the Diaoyutai Islands) had been repeatedly made by theGovernment of Japan through the agencies of Okinawa Prefecture and by way of othermethods. Through these surveys, it was confirmed that the Senkaku Islands had beenuninhabited and showed no trace of having been under the control of the Ch’ingDynasty of China.” However, this statement is historically inaccurate and can be refutedbased on official Meiji documents from 1885 to 1895 stored in the various nationalarchives of Japan, including the Diplomatic Record Office of the Ministry of ForeignAffairs of Japan, National Archives of Japan, and the National Institute for DefenseStudies Library of the Ministry of Defense. The first crucial piece of evidence is a letterdated January 27, 1892, written by Okinawa Governor Maruoka Kanji to Navy MinisterKabayama Sukenori, requesting that the Navy Ministry dispatch the Kaimon to surveythe Diaoyutai Islands, given that these islands were “not sufficiently investigated” in theearlier 1885 survey. However, the Navy Ministry declined the request due to “perilousseasonal weather”. The second crucial evidence was the letter Okinawa GovernorNarahara Shigeru wrote to the Home Minister on March 12, 1894, which stated, “…asno field surveys have been conducted since the investigation by the police of thisprefecture in the 18th year of the Meiji Period (1885), it is difficult to provide anyspecific reports on them.”
