     One is reminded of the agreement between Japan and China to develop jointly the Diaoyutai (Senkaku) islands, an area claimed by both sides, more than a decade ago. There is yet to be any joint development of the Diaoyutai area, and it is possible that the same thing may happen in the South China Sea.

     President Ma further noted that in 1683 during the Qing dynasty (1644-1911) the emperor formally included the Diaoyutais as territory of China in Taiwan Prefecture, Fujian Province. In 1812, the Diaoyutais were placed under the administration of the Kavalan Office of the Taiwan prefectural government, he added, pointing out that the Record of Missions to Taiwan and Adjacent Waters 《臺海使槎錄》 and the Illustrations of Taiwan 《全臺圖説》 prove that China effectively ruled over the Diaoyutai Islets during the Qing Dynasty.
