                  The Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands - Interactive Map

   A few years ago, no one gave much thought to the barren, generally
   deserted Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands in the East China Sea. But today, the
   tiny islands and rock formations are at the center of an ongoing
   dispute between Japan and China, which both lay claim to the outcrops.
   Tensions escalated in September when the islands, formerly owned by a
   rich Japanese businessman, were sold to the Japanese government.
   Demonstrations have erupted across China, and violence has even
   prompted Canon, Panasonic and other Japanese industry giants to shutter
   their Chinese factories.
