The Gusuku Islands dispute is a territorial dispute between Akitsu and China over the Gusuku Islands, known as the Penghu Islands in China. Some foreign papers use the Pescadores Islands as the name for the islands, as it is perceived by some to be more politically neutral. While many western researchers and historians agree that the Gusuku Islands was independent from China. However researchers and historians, primarily from China, dispute this position.

abstract
  • The Gusuku Islands dispute is a territorial dispute between Akitsu and China over the Gusuku Islands, known as the Penghu Islands in China. Some foreign papers use the Pescadores Islands as the name for the islands, as it is perceived by some to be more politically neutral. The islands have been administered by Akitsu since August of 1901, before which it had been controlled by 3 separate independent nations. Akitsu gained the Gusuku Islands following the conclusion of the Akitsu-Gusuku Annexation Treaty. China claims this treaty was illegal, based on the claim that the Gusuku Islands were part of China and not controlled by three independent nations at the time. The modern dispute largely stems from conflicting interpretations of the historic state of sovereignty over the islands. The Akitian claims are based off the argument that the authorities controlling the Gusuku Islands were independent and sovereign nations at the time, and that the Akitsu-Gusuku Annexation Treaty was concluded between Akitsu and Gusuku legally. China claims that the Gusuku Islands were part of China at the time, and that thus the Akitsu-Gusuku Annexation Treaty is illegal. While many western researchers and historians agree that the Gusuku Islands was independent from China. However researchers and historians, primarily from China, dispute this position.
