Senkaku Islands

The Senkaku Islands are a group of uninhabited volcanic islets located in the East China Sea. They are claimed by Japan, China, and Taiwan, leading to ongoing territorial disputes. Japan administers these islands, calling them the Senkaku Islands, while China refers to them as Diaoyu and Taiwan as Diaoyutai. The strategic location and potential natural resources, such as oil and fisheries, make them a significant point of contention. The dispute reflects broader regional tensions and national sovereignty issues, highlighting the importance of diplomatic negotiations to manage conflicting claims peacefully.
