Several maps, newspaper articles, and government documents from both countries after 1945 refer to the islands by their Japanese name, and some even explicitly recognize their status as Japanese territory. It was only the early 1970s that Chinese documents began to name them collectively as the Diaoyu Islands and as Chinese territory.

The article published on 8 January 1953 titled "Battle of people in the Ryukyu Islands against the U.S. occupation"<a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a> wrote "The Ryukyu Islands lie scattered on the sea between the Northeast of Taiwan of China and the Southwest of Kyushu, Japan.

The 10-page document titled "Draft outline on issues and arguments on parts concerning territories in the peace treaty with Japan"<a href="#cite_note-24">[24]</a> says the Ryukyus "consist of three parts—northern, central, and southern.

It also says "It should be studied whether the Senkaku Islands should be incorporated into Taiwan due to an extremely close distance,"<a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a> suggesting that the Chinese government did not consider the islands to be part of Taiwan.

This contradicts Beijing's claim that China have controlled Senkaku Islands since the Ming dynasty about 600 years ago and underlines Japan's position that they are an inherent part of this country's territory.

Since 2006, vessels from China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong have entered waters that Japan claims as part of its exclusive economic zone connected with the islands on a number of occasions.

Japan sent coast guard vessels to block the ship and a helicopter to monitor its actions, subsequent to which the Coast Guard Agency <a href="/wiki/Keelung" title="Keelung">Keelung</a> office of Taiwan sent five patrol vessels.

Should it be January 1895, as claimed by the Chinese side, when Japan incorporated the Senkaku Islands into Japanese territory, or February 1971 (in the case of Taiwan) and December 1971 (in the case of China), as claimed by Japan, when Japan made known her official standpoint to both governments? China/Taiwan has mainly relied on historical evidence, whose probative value might be in doubt. On the other hand, Japanese arguments are premised on very recent acts of the exercise of state authority, which directly relate with the disputed Senkaku Islands. Accordingly, and having regard to the various factual and legal issues explored above, one is inclined to conclude that Japan has a stronger claim to the disputed islands. In other words, the critical date in this case should be February 1971 (in the case of Taiwan) and December 1971 (in the case of China), as claimed by Japan. This is the more so that historical evidence relating to territorial disputes does not have its own value as history alone, but should be evaluated within the framework of international law on territorial acquisition and loss.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=book&rft.btitle=Territorial+Disputes+among+Japan%2C+China+and+Taiwan+concerning+the+Senkaku+Islands&rft.pages=30&rft.pub=IBRU&rft.date=2002&rft.isbn=978-1897643501&rft.aulast=Lee&rft.aufirst=Seokwoo&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ASenkaku+Islands+dispute" class="Z3988"> <code class="cs1-code">{{<a href="/wiki/Template:Cite_book" title="Template:Cite book">cite book</a>}}</code>: <code class="cs1-code">|journal=</code> ignored (<a href="/wiki/Help:CS1_errors#periodical_ignored" title="Help:CS1 errors">help</a>) </li> <li id="cite_note-18"><a href="#cite_ref-18">^</a> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFKraska" class="citation web cs1">Kraska, James. <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://thediplomat.com/2020/08/japans-legal-response-in-the-gray-zone/">"Japan's Legal Response in the Gray Zone"</a>. thediplomat.com.

In fact, neither China nor Taiwan had taken up the question of sovereignty over the islands until the latter half of 1970 when evidence relating to the existence of oil resources deposited in the East China Sea surfaced. All this clearly indicates that China/Taiwan had not regarded the Senkaku Islands as a part of Taiwan. Thus, for Japan, none of the alleged historical, geographical and geological arguments set forth by China/Taiwan are acceptable as valid under international law to substantiate China's territorial claim over the Senkaku Islands.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=book&rft.btitle=Territorial+Disputes+among+Japan%2C+China+and+Taiwan+concerning+the+Senkaku+Islands+%28Boundary+%26+Territory+Briefing+Vol.3+No.7%29&rft.pages=10-11&rft.pub=IBRU&rft.date=2002&rft.isbn=978-1897643501&rft.aulast=Lee&rft.aufirst=Seokwoo&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fbooks.google.com%2Fbooks%3Fid%3DMZGsi1ptLvoC%26pg%3DPA10&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ASenkaku+Islands+dispute" class="Z3988"> </li> <li id="cite_note-41"><a href="#cite_ref-41">^</a> Diplomatic statements at the Japan-China Summit Meeting between Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka and Premier Zhou Enlai on 27 September 1972.
