Japan and China claim the uninhabited islands, known as the Senkaku in Japan and Tiaoyu in China, as their own, but Japan has administered them since The Senkaku\/Diaoyu Islands were formally claimed by Japan in 1895. After Japan\u2019s defeat in World War II, the island chain was controlled by the US until 1971 before its return. Since then, Japan has administered the island chains. China began to reassert claims over the Senkaku\/ Diaoyu Islands in the 1970s, citing historic rights to the area.
