Hi, teachers. Please help me.
”...disputed East China Sea islands that Japan calls the Senkaku and China calls the Diaoyu.”
Can I put "that" between "and" and "China"?: "...and that China calls the Diaoyu."

Grammatically you can, and that is the meaning. However, the second "that" is unnecessary and would normally be omitted. The sentence feels better without it.
Even though it may seem repetitious, I think I would write "... that Japan calls the Senkaku Islands and China calls the Diaoyu Islands".
