Ancient Chinese people didn't think Senkakus (Diaoyu) as theirs

China claims Senkakus (Diaoyu) as theirs based on the “ancient documents”. 

Yet, their ancient documents such as Imperial Mission Zhai Kun’s Hundred Verses of the East Sea from 1808 indicates Jilongshan, the mountain of the province of Taiwan, is the boundary of Qing Dynasty. (Qing Dynasty possessed Taiwan in 1684). Revised Book of Taiwan Province of 1693 by Gao Gonggan indicates “To the north Jilongshan is 2,325 Ri (1,296 km) away and makes the boundary.” 

Clearly Senkakus are out of Chinese boundary - ancient Chinese people said so !

This 9-page document by Professor Shimojo Masao, Takushoku University,
analyzes the ancient documents and demonstrates that Chinese claims are not valid.  http://www.sdh-fact.com/CL02_1/87_S4.pdf
