The Senkaku Islands (尖 閣 諸 島, Senkaku Shotō), also known as Diaoyutai Islands (simplified Chinese: 钓 鱼 台 群 岛; traditional Chinese: 釣 魚 台 群 島; pinyin: Diàoyútái Qúndǎo), or the Pinnacle Islands, are a group of disputed, uninhabited islands currently controlled by Japan, but also claimed by both the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China as part of Taiwan Province, Toucheng Township in Yilan County. The islands are located roughly northeast of Taiwan, due west of Okinawa, and due north of the southwestern end of the Ryukyu Islands in the East China Sea. The islands' status has emerged as a major issue in foreign relations between the People's Republic of China and Japan and between Japan and the Republic of China. The Japanese government regards these islands as a part of Okinawa prefecture, Former President of Republic of China Lee Teng-hui also claims the land of the Senkaku Islands belongs to Okinawa. While the complexity of the PRC-ROC relation has affected efforts to demonstrate Chinese sovereignty over the islands, both governments agree that the islands are part of Taiwan, which is administered by the ROC.

Q. Taiwan & China both claim the Senkaku Island which are administered by which country? Asked by kenmwakz - Mon Sep 17 18:13:24 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Japan administers Senkaku Island. At the end of World War II, Japan was ordered to surrender several islands to China--this being one of them (Taiwan was another.) Well, about that time, China became communist, so the US never pressed Japan to turn it over to Communist China, and Taiwan wasn't even a separate nation, so at the end of WWII, Taiwan couldn't get the islands. The result is that Japan still adminsters the government there, and nobody likes it: Not China; not the US; not Taiwan; not even Japan. But the island is caught in a historical limbo--everyone believes it should belong to China, but the parties that have the power to turn it over to China don't really like expanding Answered by Lorenzo - Mon Sep 17 18:25:41 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Senkaku Islands"  bestflyfishingguides.com admin hu, 20 May 2010 00:45:25 GM Taiwan Senkaku Chinese activists cash Eye TAIPEI - With the financial and political patronage in the House of drying on the basis of Taiwanese activists working in an international alliance to claim the .
