Taiwan made a bad agreement with Japan. It should settle for no less than absolute fishing rights within 200km from the island. Including right to the islands themselves.

Taiwan-Japan fishery pact good example of dispute resolution: expert

Washington, April 16 (CNA) An agreement reached recently between Taiwan and Japan on fishing rights in waters surrounding the disputed Diaoyutai Islands serves as a good example for resolving similar regional disputes, an American expert on East Asian affairs said Tuesday.
Douglas Paal, former director of the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT), said that waters surrounding the Diaoyutai are traditional fishing grounds for Taiwanese fishermen.
The area is too far away from Okinawa and is not a good location for Japanese fishermen because of wind and current directions there, Paal said during a discussion held at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
Historically, Chinese fishermen did not operate there, either, he said.
By signing the agreement, Taiwan and Japan demonstrated their respect for history and recognition that the interests of the fishermen are the real underlying issues in the Diaoyutais dispute, he said.
Taipei and Japan set a good example for resolving disputes when they skillfully put aside their territorial claims in the negotiations, Paal said.

Actually, this is not the best solution, it is the ONLY solution to solve the conflict.
There are no way China can control Senkaku in any circumstance except 2
1.) Japan themselves withdraw from Senkaku and let China occupy it
2.) China took Senkaku by force.
While solution 1 is nearly impossible, Japan is not normal joker that China can run over easy. Whatever China threaten Japan, Japan can take it.
Solution 2 involve a serious damage of Chinese economy capability. War with Japan burn money. This day and age, Japan and China are actual neighbour, either one of them can deal a damaging blow to the other economy. While Japan's economy is more or less dead in the water, Chinese economy is on the rise, will China want to trade the rise of their economy for some Island?? It is the key question to answer.
Do remember, no war cost nothing, every war cost, you need to pay for it.
