HI HCR155

Encourages the United States, People's Republic of China, Japan, and Taiwan to pursue a long-term, diplomatic, collaborative, and peaceful approach to resolve the territorial dispute over the Senkaku Islands (known as Diaoyu Islands by China and Tiaoyutai Islands by Taiwan).

Urges all four countries to examine possible long-term mutual economic benefits rather than pursue short-term political gains through contested sovereignty claims.

References Republic of China President Ma Ying-jeou's East China Sea Peace Initiative, which calls for refraining from antagonistic actions, continuing dialogue, observing international law, establishing a code of conduct, and creating a mechanism for cooperative resource exploration and development.

Requires certified copies of the resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States, U.S. Senate Majority Leader, U.S. House Speaker, and the leaders of China, Japan, and Taiwan.
