The Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands make up a combined total of 7 square kilometres, yet are the star subject of a massive geopolitical struggle between two of the world’s most powerful nations. The battle to exert sovereign control over these uninhabited islands have all but cemented the already tense relationships between China and Japan. Join the Pan-Asia Student Society and the University of Toronto Security Affairs Forum in understanding more about this important global security issue, as well as discovering possible implications that any decision regarding the islands may have for the rest of the world.
Refreshments will be served. Don’t miss out on this greatly informative event!
