China has released a new documentary series, "Diaoyu Dao: Small Islands, Big Stakes," which examines the historical and legal claims surrounding the disputed Diaoyu Islands. The series, produced by China Global Television Network (CGTN), argues that China discovered and named the islands before they were ceded to Japan in 1895. Beijing asserts that Japan is obligated to return the islands based on post-World War II agreements, while Tokyo maintains its sovereignty through different historical treaties and agreements with the United States.
