Senkaku Islands

Senkaku Islands, also called Senkaku Shotō (尖閣諸島; Senkaku-guntō, and Senkaku-rettō), Diaoyu Dao Islands (釣魚島), and Tiaoyutai Islands (釣魚臺羣島), are uninhabited islands in the East China Sea.

The group of islands, islets, and rocks is east of Mainland China, northeast of Taiwan, west of Okinawa, and north of the southwestern end of the Ryukyu Islands. The islands are about 200 km from Taiwan, and about 300 km from Okinawa.

Dispute

The United States occupied thesislands from 1945 to 1972, when they reverted to Japan. The official US position is neutral in a dispute among Japan, China and Taiwan. Control over the islands and rocks is disputed. The issues are complex. The Japanese government describes the islands as part of Japan.

The islands are also described as part of China. There are conflicts in the positions of the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Republic of China (ROC). Noth Chinas have a shared history.

From March 2025 onwards, China Coast Guard (中国海警) ships from China approached the islands.
