Ancient Chinese ancestors were the first to discover and name Diaoyu Dao in the practice of ocean management and maritime fishing. In ancient Chinese literature, Diaoyu Dao is also called Diaoyuyu, Diaoyutai and Diaoyushan. At present, the earliest historical record of the names of Diaoyu Dao and Chiwei Yu is written in 1403 (the first year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty).

In 1372 (the fifth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty), Emperor Taizu sent an envoy to Ryukyu, and the Ryukyu king paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty. During the nearly 500 years from 1866 (five years of Tongzhi of Qing Dynasty), the imperial court of Ming and Qing dynasties sent envoys to Ryukyu Kingdom for 24 times, and Diaoyu Dao was the route for envoys to Ryukyu. A large number of records about Diaoyu Dao appeared in the reports written by Chinese envoys.

In 1605 (the 33th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty), Xu Bita and others drew a map of the Qiankun Unified Coastal defense, and in 1621 (the first year of the Ming Dynasty) MAO Yuanyi drew a map of China's coastal defense, Wubei Zhi · Coastal Defense II · Fujian Coastal Mountains and Sand Map, which also included Diaoyu Islands and other islands in China's maritime territory.
[3]
The Qing Dynasty not only followed the practice of the Ming Dynasty, but also continued to include Diaoyu Dao and other islands in the scope of China's coastal defense and explicitly placed them under the administrative jurisdiction of the local government of Taiwan. The official writings of the Qing Dynasty, such as "Taiwan Fu Zhi" and the "Taiwan Strait Encha Lu" written by Huang Shujing, describe in detail its jurisdiction over Diaoyu Dao.

. Inoue Kaoru replied in 1885, "This island is close to the territory of the Qing Dynasty, and the area is smaller than the Big East Island, which has been surveyed before, and the Qing State has assigned its name to the island." In response to Inoue Kaoru's suggestion, Yamamoto replied to Okinawa, refusing to immediately establish a national standard in Diaoyu Islands, and stressed in the letter that the incident "should not be known to the media."
[5]
After the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, Japan took advantage of the war to "incorporate" Diaoyu Dao and Huangwei Yu into Okinawa Prefecture.

On September 8, 1951, the United States and other countries signed the San Francisco Peace Treaty with Japan. When the United States military took over the Ryukyu Islands, it arbitrarily placed Diaoyu Dao and its affiliated islands under the jurisdiction of the United States Civil Government of the Ryukyu Islands. Accordingly, Japan forcibly declared that Diaoyu Dao and its affiliated Islands were within the scope of the Ryukyu Islands and were under Japan's so-called "effective control".
[6]
On December 25, 1953, Major General David A.D.Ogden of the United States Army, Deputy Chief of Civil Affairs of the United States Civil Government of the Ryukyu Islands, issued "Order 27", namely, "Geographical Limits of the Ryukyu Islands".

[6]
On December 30, 1971, the Chinese Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying, "This is a flagrant violation of China's territorial sovereignty, and the Chinese people absolutely cannot tolerate it."

[7]
In 1972, China and Japan established diplomatic relations. Zhou Enlai proposed that the issue of the ownership of Diaoyu Dao and other islands be put on hold until the conditions are ripe for future settlement. The two sides reached an agreement.

[9]
On July 14, 1996, the Japanese Youth Agency set up a new lighthouse on Diaoyu Dao. It sparked an outcry on both sides of the Strait, with China's foreign ministry saying it was "seriously concerned" about the incident.
[9]

In 1968, the United Nations Economic Commission for Asia surveyed the seabed resources north of the Taiwan Strait and found that the vast East China Sea, including the Diaoyu Island and its affiliated islands, contained very rich undersea oil resources. The waters around the islands contain 80 billion barrels of undersea oil and gas, and there are also claims that the oil reserves in the waters around the islands could reach 3 billion to 7 billion tons.

On January 29, 2012, the Japanese government completed the provisional naming, including the names of the four affiliated islands around Diaoyu Dao. The three islets near Huangwei Island of Diaoyu Island are named "Northwest Islet", "North Islet" and "Northeast Islet". An island near Chiwei Yu has been named "Bei Dao".
On August 1, 2014, the Japanese government decided to "determine the names" of 158 outlying islands, including the five affiliated islands of Diaoyu Dao. The Japanese government unilaterally claims that there are "more than 500 outlying islands" in the country, with 158 "names undecided". As for the five affiliated islands of Diaoyu Dao, the Japanese government decided to name two of them "Nantoku Islets". The other three are "South West Islets, East islets and Northwest West Islets". The Japanese government also decided to clearly mark the new names on maps and publish them on its official website.

Separated, but the Diaoyu Islands lie on the western upper edge of the Okinawa (Ryukyu) Trough. Once Japan has administrative jurisdiction over the Diaoyu Islands, it will not only occupy the Diaoyu Islands, but let its territory tread on China's continental shelf, and China and Japan will become opposite continental shelves.
Chinese Association of Military Science
Deputy Secretary-General and Major General
Luo Yuan
Refers to, according to the
International Convention on the Law of the Sea
If the Diaoyu Islands are illegally occupied by Japan, China and Japan will have to divide the continental shelf according to the principle of the middle line, and China will not only lose a large number of maritime jurisdictions and

Military geography
From a perspective, the Diaoyu Islands and their affiliated islands have important, but little-known, military value. It forms a natural barrier at the outer edge of our continent in the direction of the sea. The middle of this chain of islands, facing the East Sea, is exactly

On December 30, 1971, the Chinese Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying, "It is completely illegal for the United States and Japan to include China's Diaoyu Island and other islands in the 'return' area in the Okinawa Agreement, which in no way changes the territorial sovereignty of the People's Republic of China over the Diaoyu Island and other islands."
Since September 11, 2012, the National Meteorological Center has included weather forecasts for the Diaoyu Islands and the surrounding waters into domestic urban forecasts.
On September 25, 2012, The State Council Information Office of the People's Republic of China issued the"
Diaoyu Dao is China's inherent territory
"White Paper.
On April 24, 2014, at the regular press conference of the Ministry of National Defense, spokesman Yang Yujun responded to Obama's statement that Diaoyu Dao is applicable to the US-Japan Security Treaty, saying that Diaoyu Dao is China's territory and the Chinese military is fully capable of defending Diaoyu Dao.

Fishing conservation
In 1971, the United States handed over the "jurisdiction" of the Ryukyu Islands to Japan, and the Okinawa Parliament first raised the issue of "territorial defense" concerning the Diaoyu Islands. China issued a statement protesting. Taiwan youth and overseas Chinese launched the "fishing" movement. In March of that year, 500 scholars from the United States submitted a letter to Chiang Kai-shek. On April 10, a march for the protection of fishing broke out in Washington.
On August 12, 2012,

The Japanese side believes that from the end of the Second World War until the early 1970s, China neither claimed sovereignty and jurisdiction over the Diaoyu Islands nor exercised actual control over the Diaoyu Islands, and it was not until the early 1970s, after the discovery of oil, that China made a claim to the sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands and its affiliated islands. Therefore, the Diaoyu Islands do not belong to China, but to Japan.
[45]
In 1979, Japan built a heliport on the Diaoyu Islands, and both sides of the Taiwan Strait lodged representations and protests with Japan.
In 1990, the Japanese Youth Association built a lighthouse on the Diaoyu Islands, which once again triggered a wave of fishing protection.
In 1992, China adopted the"
Law on the Territorial Sea and the Contiguous Zone
After stating that the Diaoyu Islands and other islands are Chinese territory, Japan proposed"
protest
".
On July 14, 1996, the Japanese Youth Agency set up a new lighthouse on Diaoyu Dao. China's foreign ministry said it was "seriously concerned" about the incident.
On the morning of September 7, 2010,
Japan Coast Guard
A patrol boat rammed a Chinese trawler in waters near the Diaoyu Islands.
On September 25, 2010, the captain of the Chinese fishing boat was illegally detained by the Japanese side for 17 days and returned to China.
In December 2010, the Ishigaki City Council passed an ordinance designating January 14 as the so-called "Senkaku Islands Development Day."
[46]
At around 9:30 am on January 3, 2012, a patrol vessel of Japan's 11th Regional Maritime Security Headquarters (Naha) spotted three members of the Council of Ishigaki City of Okinawa, including Koshi Nakama, landing on the Diaoyu Islands. About 20 minutes later, Ishigaki City Councilman Tadashi Nakayashi also landed on the island. The four left the Diaoyu Islands at around 11:55 a.m., and their fishing boat headed for Ishigaki Port.
[47]
In April 2012, Tokyo Governor Shintaro Ishihara said in Washington that he would "purchase" the Diaoyu Islands in the name of Tokyo. Subsequently, the Japanese central government also announced that it would nationalize the Diaoyu Islands.
48 - [50]
On June 10, 2012, a Japanese right-wing political group held a fishing contest in the waters near the Diaoyu Islands to show Japan's so-called "sovereignty" over the Diaoyu Islands.
At around 7 PM on August 18, 2012, 150 rightwing people from Japan set off from Ishigaki Island, Okinawa, and took 21 ships to the waters of Diaoyu Dao for "mourning" activities, including 8 members of the Japanese Parliament.
[51]
On the morning of August 19, 2012, a number of Japanese people boarded Diaoyu Dao, saying that they were ready to climb to the highest point of Diaoyu Dao and plant the Japanese flag. About a dozen members of the Japanese right-wing group "Go Japan" swam to the islands from a boat moored in waters near the Diaoyu Islands. Satoru Mizushima, chairman of the group, grabbed a rope and landed on the island, followed by five others. They said they planned to climb to the highest point of the islands and plant a Japanese flag there.
[51]
On August 24, 2012, the House of Representatives of Japan passed a protest resolution against the fishing activities of Hong Kong "pro-fishing" people. The resolution said that the Diaoyu Islands are Japan's "inherent territory" and that the Hong Kong civil group's "intrusion" into territorial waters near the Diaoyu Islands was "extremely regrettable" and that the Japanese government should "make solemn representations to the Chinese authorities" and "should take all means" to ensure "continued effective rule over the Diaoyu Islands."
[52]
On September 7, 2012, a Chinese fishing boat collided with a Japanese patrol boat in waters off the Diaoyu Islands.
On January 27, 2014, the Japanese Ministry of Education, Sports, Science and Technology revised the explanation of the Japanese junior high school and high school "Study guidelines", stating that
Dokdo
(Japanese name: Takeshima) and Diaoyu Islands are Japan's "inherent territory".
[53]
On March 19, 2014, in order to strengthen the international community's "awareness of Japan's sovereignty" over the disputed islands such as Diaoyu Dao and Dokdo, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs began to unify the English names of these islands and mark them on the English maps issued by the Japanese government.
[54]
On December 5, 2012, the U.S. Senate passed an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2013 (October 2012 - September 2013). The bill explicitly states that the Diaoyu Islands are subject to Article 5 of the Japan-US Security Treaty. It is reported that the bill emphasizes that the United States believes that the Diaoyu Islands are "under the effective control of Japan."
7 February 2014, United States
Secretary of state
Mr. Kerry vowed that the United States would defend Japan from any attack on islands, including those claimed by China.
[55]
On April 23, 2014, US President Barack Obama said in a written interview with Japan's Yomiuri Shimbun that the Diaoyu Islands were covered by the US-Japan security treaty. It's the first time a U.S. president has said so explicitly.
[56]
On September 30, 2014,
U.S. Department of Defense
Responding to a question about Japan's dispute with China over the Senkaku Islands, or Diaoyu islands, Deputy Secretary Robert Work said the United States would respond with force if its Allies in the Pacific were threatened.
[57]
Britain
On April 27, 2014, the United Kingdom released declassified documents stored in the National Archives in London, saying that in the 1870s, British officials conducted research on the sovereignty of Diaoyu Dao after the discovery of oil and gas resources near Diaoyu Dao triggered a dispute over sovereignty. In 1971, a paper on Diaoyu Islands written by the British Foreign Office Research Office pointed out that Diaoyu Islands were not settled between China and Japan in 1879-1880
Ryukyu Islands
It was also not mentioned in the 1895 Treaty of Shimonoseki.
[58]
In the 1970s, Britain was not sure that Japan had sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands. The Diaoyu Islands were acquired by Japan through illegal means and should be officially returned in accordance with the Sino-Japanese Peace Treaty of 1952. The British Foreign Office, when asked, said it "does not take a position on this important issue of sovereignty" and called for it to be resolved "peacefully and in accordance with international law".
