There is a territorial dispute between Japan, the People's Republic of China and the Republic of China over the Pinnacle Islands/Senkaku Islands/Diao-yu-tai. It involves significant issues, including oil that is offshore and is close to the countries. In East Asia, it has impeded the promotion of stability, with Taiwan, China and Japan. All of these countries want sovereignty over these islands.
