more neutral
---------------------------------

Editor:
Your proposal is not neutral because if you say an island is "between China and Okinawa", that implies that the islands are not part of either China or Okinawa. This would potentially be offensive to China because they claim sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands.

You could say "between mainland China and Okinawa" but it's geographically more precise to say "between Taiwan and Okinawa".

# + 釣魚臺 钓鱼台 [Diao4 yu2 tai2] /Diaoyu or Senkaku Islands between China and Okinawa/
+ 釣魚臺 钓鱼台 [Diao4 yu2 tai2] /Diaoyu Islands, located between Taiwan and Okinawa, controlled by Japan – which calls them the Senkaku Islands – but claimed by China as part of its territory/
