TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) - Japan has agreed to give Taiwan fishing rights in waters near a group of Japanese-controlled islands in the East China Sea that are also claimed by China and Taiwan.
In a deal signed on Wednesday, Japan agreed to let Taiwanese boats fish in a part of its exclusive economic zone near the islands. They are known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China.
A Taiwan government statement hailed the deal as enabling the sides to jointly tap the rich resources there.
Japan's compromise could be seen as a way to prevent Taiwan from forming a united front with China in the dispute, though Taiwan has also disputed China's territorial claim.

But they are still enemies. There is no peace treaty, no unification.

Your knowledge of international politics is lacking. U.S. is using Taiwan to contain China's rise. This is true.
no matter how much they disagree with china they shouldnt stand on japan's side when it comes to sovereignity over the islands.

I agree. They shouldn't gang up with Japan against China.
