Japan Says Chinese Premier Li Ignores History in Potsdam Remarks
By Bloomberg News - May 27, 2013

A top Japanese official said Chinese Premier Li Keqiang “ignored history” by interpreting a 1945 allied agreement to mean Japan should hand over disputed islands to China.

In a speech yesterday in Potsdam, Germany, site of the conference where terms of surrender were dictated to Japan, Li said that agreement reaffirmed Japan should return all territory stolen from China, including “Taiwan and related islands.”
