Abstract In recent years, the tone for crossstrait cooperation in the East China Sea has aroused wide public concern. However, this situation is still facing a lot of practical difficulties. Based on the content of the “TaipeiJapan Fisheries Agreement”, it is easy to understand that Japan has made some compromises on fishery resources in the East China Sea, with the purpose of preventing the coordinated Baodiao Movement. Meanwhile, the fact that Taiwan has indirectly made substantial concessions to Japan on territorial sovereignty issues should not be ignored. The situation has not only made public voice cast doubt upon “sacrifice of sovereignty in exchange for fishing rights”, but also increased the difficulty of subsequent negotiations. In addition, the agreement has significant impacts on the crossstrait cooperation in the East China Sea, such as reducing the possibility of cooperation, compressing the path of cooperation and losing the timing of cooperation.
