Furthermore, Japan should take the sovereign act of designating the Senkaku Islands as an international maritime preserve free of habitation or military use. China might not agree, but such a move might at least return the issue to the back burner, while reinforcing Japan’s image as a peaceful power.
此外，日本应行使主权将尖阁群岛划为不允许居住或军事用途的国际海上保护区。中国可能不赞同这种做法，但此举可能至少能让领土争端回到次要位置，并同时巩固日本和平大国的形象。
