whats so important about these islands?

They also heavily limit China's access to the Pacific Ocean, as if they were Japanese territory, China would have to go south to access the Ocean, and there you find Taiwan. More to the south is already too crowded, and it's better to have direct access than to have to take detours and/or ask someone else permission for transit.

I don't know why are people here assuming that the islands are Japanese. I don't know to who they actually belong to, but I cannot confirm that they're Japanese.

 

What country are you from?
