After over 70 years of dispute, Heixiazi island and Yinlong island are announced to be officially returned to the PRC's jurisdiction by the end of next month. Instead of having a big return ceremony like what we had in Hong kong and Macao, this time we got nothing but a snippet of news in the conner of a newspaper. The reason is rather simple--in the meantime PRC lost to Russia the dispute over Kuye island, whose size is twice as big as Taiwan. Ironically, not many people have ever heard of that island.
