The islands were uninhibited for most of its history except for a period during the late 1800 to early 1900s when a Japanese had a fish processing plant on the islands.
What I don't understand is why didn't the ROC and PROC didn't actively protest for the islands until the late 1970s until after a report from the United Nations stating that there were potential gas reserves near the islands.
And how would the islands be returned? Should it be returned to the ROC or the PROC - the original signatories in the Treaty of Shimonoseki ie. the Qing representatives don't exist anymore.
But I call for more Chinese and Japanese dialogue on the matter, maybe it should be taken to the UN for consultation.
Obviously, Shimonoseki isn't worth much, since it's not only the Qing Dynasty, also the Empire of Japan doesn't exist anymore.
You know what, it's not that much about the potential reserves, imho. There's a comment above about the military and nationalist dick measuring. Both nations excel in that -Japan historically, and the Chinese government brainwashes the citizens to hate the Japanese anyway.
And that exactly makes the dialogue almost impossible at this point.
The problem is the Chinese and equally the Japanese don't seek international assistance due to it being an "Internal affair" the problem is that there will be no resolution if they continue to ignore eachother.
China's other neighbours are watching the incident closely especially ones that has disputes with China such as Vietnam and the Philippines.
Who owns those damn ISLANDS -China vs. Japan?

because China was not strong enough to protest for the islands before1970
