China refuses to clear 'Senkaku' books

The Yomiuri Shimbun 2009

Of 892 books destined for a Japanese residents school that were seized at Shanghai customs in late January, eight have yet to be cleared for entry into China, sources at the school said Saturday.
The eight remaining books cover geography and were ordered by the school in Pudong, which has 1,089 students and is part of the Shanghai Japanese School.
Through the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai, the Japanese government asked the Chinese government to explain the reason for the continued failure to release the books, but the Chinese side has yet to offer any explanation, the sources said.
If China fails to give a convincing response for not releasing the books, the government will consider lodging an official complaint.
According to sources, the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai on Feb. 14 called on the Chinese customs authorities to disclose the reason for the seizure of the 892 books, explain which law was being applied and clear the books for entry as quickly as possible. As a result, all but the eight in question were cleared on Feb. 15.
A local customs agent told the school officials that the release of the eight books remained blocked because further research into the content of the books was required.
The Education, Science and Technology Ministry said the eight books are volumes one to eight of an atlas to be placed in the school's library. The first volume contains a map in which the Senkaku islands, which China claims, are indicated as Japanese territory. The government is assuming that the Chinese authorities saw this map as problematic.
