The Senkaku/Diaoyu are rocks in the sea and the only reason for all these claims is to get a piece of the pie, just as what is happening in the Spratley and Paracel Islands.
That said, if the Japanese are good at rewriting history, the Chinese are much better. Mao killed more Chinese than the Japanese ever did yet he is revered . . .and Japan is vilified.
The Qing were a Manchu Empire yet too many accept the court historian mentality and call it China. When the Romans conquered Greece and adapted much of their culture, as well as aspects from the other surrounding countries, historians still call it the Roman Empire. When the Mongols conquered everything from Korea to Hungary, it is calledt China and not the Mongol Empire. Get the picture. The same goes for the Manchus.
The PRC is trying to co-opt what the Manchus ruled in the name of Han China.

The Manchus repatriated any Ming loyalists from Taiwan way back in 1683; but the Manchus never ruled all of Taiwan, they only made the half that they ruled a province in 1885 ten years before they gave it to Japan. Japan would be the first country to conquer and subdue the indigenous people on the east side. Japan is the first country to control all of Taiwan.

The San Francisco Peace Treaty (1952) said Japan must give up Taiwan but it did not say to the PRC or the ROC; omitted in this is a third option--to the people of Taiwan.

Do you ever wonder why the cabal that rules China does not allow freedom of the press? It is easier to brainwash the massive minions if they cannot get other opinions except the government speak. Ask yourself how the Mongolians got out of this trap of being a part of China--they were lucky they had Russia (the USA enemy at the time) to help them.

For some different opinions on Taiwan come to Taiwan where we see part of it as a province of the Manchu Empire for 10 years and then a part of the Japanese Empire. But when you come, don't just talk to the carpetbaggers who came with Chiang Kai-shek; talk to true Taiwanese.
