Baodiao movement

Baodiao movement (simplified Chinese: 保钓运动; traditional Chinese: 保釣運動; lit. 'Defend the Diaoyu Islands movement') is a social movement originating among Republic of China students in the United States in the 1970s, and more recently expressed in China that asserts Chinese sovereignty over the Senkaku/Diaoyu/Tiaoyutai Islands. The territorial right to the islands is disputed among China, Taiwan, and Japan. Action Committee for Defending the Diaoyu Islands and China Federation for Defending the Diaoyu Islands are the main representative organizations in the movement.
