Japan’s appeal to the Diaoyu islands is based on a false theory, which advocated the islands as part of the Ryukyu Islands. However, the ownership of the Ryukyu Islands triggered intense discussion in the Chinese press around the period of victory of the Anti-Japanese War, forming the “Ryukyu Outlook” in the Media. Through the analysis and investigation of the "Ryukyu Outlook", we can find that: one the one hand, the public opinion strongly advocated that the Ryukyu Islands should be returned to China, and it is fully aware of the strategic position of the Ryukyu Islands, the patriotic nationalism and prospective cognition of the public opinion should be affirmed. On the other hand, due to the limitations of the times, the “Ryukyu Outlook” could not scientifically recognize the regional differences and geographical demarcation of the Ryukyu Islands, which also caused the mistakes in Diaoyu Islands’ narrative. As the beginning of the study of the Ryukyu problem in China, the historical writing of the “Ryukyu Outlook”, which can provide a historical basis for the discussion of the issue of Ryukyu and the sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands, is not only the basis of the historical public opinion of “Ryukyu Reconsideration”, but also helps to understand the historical roots of the Diaoyu Islands problems.
