Posted in: China coast guard says it 'drove away' Japanese boats near disputed islands See in context
Interesting thing about these islands. After WWII they were part of the occupation zone that included Okinawa. About the time Okinawa and Ryukyu Islands, including these islands were returned to Japan, it was discovered that the area may hold abundant resources. It was around this time that China started to dispute Japanese sovereignty. Prior to Japan annexing these islands in 1895, it was used by various nations as a navigation point but no one had actually claimed them. After the end of WWII, Japanese, Chinese and U.S. maps all showed these islands as part of Japan.
