The author first introduces geographical as well as historical backgrounds of Diaoyutai Archipelago. The author in turn explains the relevant territorial claims upon these Islands by the Republic of China, Taiwan and Japan, and argues successfully that they should belong to ROC Taiwan from the different aspects of history, geography, geological structure, international law, and the undeniably continuous utilization by residents of ROC Taiwan.
However, the author finally proposes that an international framework for cooperative development of the Diaoyutai Archipelago should by set up and territorial disputes should by postponed.
