Boost UK trade and global image by inviting China and Japan to rename islands

Petition Details

Britain is a force for good in the world. Remain and Brexit voters agree that we need to show the world that we are open for business. By brokering a new name for the disputed Senkaku/Diaoyu islands in the East China Sea, the Foreign Office can highlight our shared values - and encourage trade.

Additional Information

China and Japan are the second and third biggest economies in the world and are creating investment and jobs in British industry. They dispute who owns a group of islands in the East China Sea. Resolving the dispute is a matter for China and Japan, but the UK can play a valuable role by symbolically inviting the two governments to rename the islands to reflect their and our shared values - for example the Confucius Islands or the Friendship Islands. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senkaku_Islands
