	Japanese Militarism & Diaoyutai (Senkaku) Island - A Japanese Historian's View
		Furthmore, at the end of the explanatory notes on the Ishigaki and eight neighbouring islands of the Yaeyama Archipelago, it was written that the eight islands were "the southwestern most boundary of Ryukyu" (the Iriomote Island of the Yaeyama group among the Ryukyu Islands being the nearest to the Taioyu (Daioyu) Island).
		Sailing from Ryukyu to the Tiaoyu Island (Diaoyutai) was particularly difficult because it was against the wind and the tide.
		Whether Koga's application to the Okinawa prefectural and central governments for a lease of the Tiaoyu Island (Diaoyutai) was made before or after the outbreak of the 1894 Japan-Ching war remains inknown, but both the prefectural and central governments had declared that title to that island was uncertain.

		Because of this the Diaoyutai are of particular symbolic significance to the political opposition and pro-independence groups in Taiwan, and this has been a very important factor in the Taiwanese stance over the islands, particularly the dispute which erupted in 1990.
		The islands came to the forefront of the talks when a group of anti-Treaty politicians from the LDP in Japan raised the issue in the Diet in an attempt to damage or halt the negotiations.
		National pride concerning the islands is an issue for all sides particularly for the Chinese and Taiwanese given the recent history of Japanese aggression and the important part played by the anti-Japanese record in legitimating the CCP in China.

		The latest dispute over the Diaoyutai Isles provoked by Japanese right-wing extremists with the support from the Japanese government is by no means an isolated incident.
		It must also be viewed as an attempt of Japan's present right-wing government to undo the effort for a genuine reconcilliation with its Aisan neighbours by the previous prime minister.
		As for the Diaoyutai Isles, some Japanese argue that if they belong to China, why the Chinese did not take any action when the Isles were returned by the US together with Okinawa to Japan.
