The US Senate has unanimously approved an amendment to the 2013
National Defense Authorization Act that is designed to counter China’s
sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands.
It clearly states that the Diaoyu islands issue is covered by the fifth article of the Japan-US Security Treaty. Jim Webb, a Virginia Democrat and one of the sponsors of the amendment says it stresses the importance of the US-Japan alliance, claiming it is a forceful strong signal towards supporting its important ally in the Asia Pacific.
The bill, after the negotiation of the two houses, still needs the signature of the President Barack Obama. It adds while the US takes no position on the sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands, the US acknowledges the administration of Japan over the islands. It states US opposition to any efforts to coerce, threaten to use force, or use force to resolve territorial issues. It concludes by reaffirming the commitment of the US to the Japanese government.
