DIAOYU Islands are 120 nautical miles northeast of Taiwan, 200 nautical miles west of Chinese mainland and 200 nautical miles east of Japan's southernmost island Okinawa.
The islands appeared on China's map since the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). On a map published by Japan between 1783 and 1785, Diaoyu Islands were shown as belonging to China.
Japan never questioned China's sovereignty over the islands before the Sino-Japanese war of 1894-1895.
Geographically the islands are attached to Taiwan. Fishermen from Taiwan, Fujian and other provinces conducted activities such as fishing and collecting herbs in this area since the ancient times.
