China Says, Japan Says, China Says..

China is disputing Japan's accusations that China is the reason the two countries can't agree on rights to territorial waters in the East China Sea.

China's Foreign Ministry spokesman says that China "has always taken a positive and pragmatic attitude in the talks and put forward fair and reasonable proposals."

"China is not responsible and Japan's accusations are unfounded."

Gee, are we surprised?

Still…there is no resolution yet…and China is drilling while Tokyo scratches its head.

The two sides will resume talks next month. 

Who do you think needs the gas the most?

Does that matter?
