Also known as the Pinnacle Islands in Japan, the Diaoyu Islands in China and the Tiaoyutai Islands in Taiwan, these five uninhabited islets are the subject of a sovereignty dispute between Japan, the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of China (Taiwan).
In September 2012 the Japanese government nationalized its control over Minamikojima, Kitakojima, and Uotsuri islands by purchasing them from private owners.
