| Summary/Abstract |
Since the early 1970s, a small island which is 4.3838 square kilometres in size located in sea between China and Japan has brought in a series of sovereignty disputes over territorial issue. It is called “Diaoyu islands” in China and “Senkaku Islands” in Japan. The disputes involved three parties—Mainland China, Taiwan and Japan, but the arguments between China and Japan over the islands become particularly intensified, and the two countries largely increased their military spending. It was reported very recently that fighters and Maritime patrols of the nations have ever been confronting with each other over the islands several times.
