Abstract

The dispute about the islands of Senkaku / Diaoyu Islands has become one of the most tense territorial disputes in East Asia. In fact, the islands are controlled by Japan, but sovereignty over them is disputed by the People’s Republic of China and by the Republic of China on Taiwan. This territorial dispute goes on for a long time without visible prospects for settlement, but also without degenerating into a military conflict.«The conflict in East Asia can be much more dangerous than any aggravation in the Middle East» - the American expert I.Bruma says. - Taiwan and the Korean Peninsula could be involved. In addition to potential human losses it would inflict a great damage to the world economy and conflict USA with China».
