Abstract
There are several issues of dispute between China and Japan regarding the East China Sea. Among these issues, the maritime delimitation issue, the territorial sovereignty dispute over the Diaoyu Islands (also known as Senkaku Islands in Japanese), the resource development issue, and the divergent perspectives on the legal status of the Oki-no-Tori Shima (called Chong Zhiniao Rock in Chinese) may be typical yet important ones. These issues are of different levels and categories, which need to be resolved through different ways.

Keywords : Maritime Delimitation, Territorial Disputes, Joint Development, Oki-no-Tori Shima
