&gt; &gt;You don&#39;t have to know Japanese to see the implications of tiny <br/>
rocks on <br/>
&gt; &gt;your EEZ. The only thing I<br/>
&gt; &gt;can read on this map is 200. Presumably the nautical miles. Okino-<br/>
tori <br/>
&gt; &gt;Shima is in the green area at<br/>
&gt; &gt;the centre-bottom of the map, touching the central green and the <br/>
dark blue <br/>
&gt; &gt;areas.<br/>
&gt; &gt;The site is about the Ogasawara or Bonin Islands. The green areas <br/>
are <br/>
&gt; &gt;probably the EEZ around these<br/>
&gt; &gt;islands. The one on the right is around Marcus Isl.<br/>
&gt; &gt;<br/>
&gt; &gt;Note also that the Northern Territories a.k.a the Southern Kuriles <br/>
are <br/>
&gt; &gt;incorporated in Japan on this<br/>
&gt; &gt;map. So are the Senkaku group, and the same probably goes for Tok-<br/>
do a.k.a. <br/>
&gt; &gt;Liancourt. All of this<br/>
&gt; &gt;is disputed between Japan and other countries....<br/>
