I really don`t get China`s logic in claiming those islands far away from them.

I mean yeah, I got the logic of more land, more resources, grab, grab, grab. But the logic upon which they base their legal claim, for there has to be something, no matter how tenuous.

The same logic as their claim on Taiwan. "because we want it"
There's a lot of logic in Taiwan, it is historically a part of China. Ish.

It was part of Japan though, and more recently than it was part of China (RoC excepted).  Shall the Japanese Empire be reborn?

Begs the question.
We have, accordingly, always had plenty of excellent lawyers, though we often had to do without even tolerable administrators, and seen destined to endure the inconvenience of hereafter doing without any constructive statesmen at all.
