The fact that the PRC is claiming a direct line of sovereignty over both Taiwan and the Senkaku from the Qing is deliciously ironic, given the fact that the beloved maniac Chairman Mao tried to destroy all connection between the present and the past China. The so-called vanguard parties of Communist regimes are nothing more than even stronger feudal regimes than those of the past. China thinks everything is theirs. Perhaps if they would consider working with their neighbors instead of demonizing them everyone could get along. Spot on.

Neither claim is valid, as Chinese boundaries changed with each dynasty - "China" was as it physically/militarily could be - and the Government of the PRC does not rule Taiwan, therefore Taiwan is not part of the PRC. MOFA states that "The fact that China expressed no objection to the status of the Islands being under the administration of the United States under Article III of the San Francisco Peace Treaty clearly indicates that China did not consider the Senkaku Islands as part of Taiwan. It was not until the latter half of 1970, when the question of the development of petroleum resources on the continental shelf of the East China Sea came to the surface, that the Government of China and Taiwan authorities began to raise questions regarding the Senkaku Islands." and I tend to agree - how badly would China want them if they were just rocks (and had no decent fishing either)?

How fortunate for them that they operate in Hong Kong and not the mainland. They must enjoy the freedoms that their mainland brothers do not have. Truly, they are fighting for the right causes. /Sarcasm. These Chinese crazies should accept that the Senkaku islands are Japanese territory.
