Explain japanbro
What is that?
Japan claims it's an island, therefore there's EEZ
China and Korea argue it's just a rock, therefore no EEZ
Taiwan has split claims between political parties
The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea states
An island is "a naturally formed area of land, surrounded by water, which is above water at high tide".
and "rocks which cannot sustain human habitation or economic life of their own shall have no exclusive economic zone."
Even at high tide, some parts of this "island" are above sea level
Japan claims that a "rock" is not defined in the Convention, therefore there's EEZ
And also that a construction of a port, lighthouse or power station may be used as a counterargument
for China's claims regarding "sustain human habitation or economic life".
The things around the "island" are steel breakwaters and concrete walls to stop the erosion
why does Japan want this piece of rock/island? What purpose will it serve?

That's a fucking rock with an offshore platform built around it. Don't try to smartass yourself around the rules.
