The justice's demands of the Okinawa people should not be ignored again
Author:Global Times Time:2022.09.12
In the general election of the Knowledge of Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, Yicheng Danny, who is currently aware of the affairs and party, defeated the candidate supported by the Liberal Democratic Party, has won the re -election. Public opinion generally believes that it is the main reason to oppose the relocation of the US military Putian Airport in Okinawa County and calling on the scale of the size of the U.S. military base in Okinawa. This is the result that neither the Kishida government and the Bayeng government want to see, but the Okinawa public opinion it reflects that Tokyo and Washington should no longer be ignored.
As we all know, more than 70%of the US military facilities in Japan are concentrated in Okinawa, and the inferiority of the U.S. military in Japan made Okinawa passively bear too much. The relocation plan of the Putian Tianjian was derived from the case of the US military rape in 1995. Under the protective umbrella of "external law", vicious incidents such as robbery, rape, killing, and drug trafficking of the United States have occurred frequently. After the new crown epidemic was outbreak, the US military base became the "poison source" that was not controlled there. For a long time, Okinawa has always hoped that the US military base has moved out of Okinawa, but the Tokyo side has been undergoing the internal relocation of Okinawa, which is equivalent to "left hand and right hand".
To make matters worse, with the accelerated advancement of the US curb strategy and the continuous water pouring in Tokyo, it directly induced and intensified the tension of the situation in Taiwan. cutting edge. Under the banner of "maintaining safety", the United States and Japan are deploying more weapons and equipment on Okinawa Island. At the beginning of this year, it is reported that the Ministry of Defense of Japan is promoting the construction of the missile base in Ishigaki Island Okinawa Prefecture, and "amazing volume". The result of this election is a strong signal from Okinawa. The people there are obviously unwilling to become a "cannon fodder" for the confrontation of the country. They hope that Okinawa will become a "island of peace".
Over the years, the impression left by the U.S. military in Japan to Okinawa has been so scary that most of the Okinawa voters have resisted the huge temptation of the Tokyo government's promised about 350 billion yen subsidies. The U.S. military stationed in Japan moved from this place in Okinawa to another place in Okinawa, but hoped that the US military would move out of Okinawa. In the face of Tokyo's "sharing" strategy of "sugar and leather whip", the Okinawa people are not confused. Yucheng Danny previously stated that if the land occupied by the U.S. military can return Okinawa for other uses, Okinawa's income will be three times the income from the base.
In fact, it is not just Okinawa. Not long ago, Ajukoshima Prefecture, Kyushi Prefecture, which was conducted by the United States and Japan, also broke out, saying that "military cannot create peace." Today, the US military base has become more and more hot potato, and no one wants to receive themselves. Not only in Japan, in many places such as South Korea, the Philippines, etc., the people's attitude towards U.S. military bases is generally: don't come to my house. As Washington's destruction of world peace is becoming increasingly prominent, the U.S. military station has become more and more synonymous with turbulence, division, and chaos. They are inevitable.
What makes Okinawa cold is the attitude of Tokyo. It is well known to Tokyo's humbleness in front of Washington that it does not show any willingness and motivation to negotiate and fight for these issues with these issues, but devoted himself to perfunctory, pressure, seduce, and deception. Okinawa's local economic development level has always been relatively backward, and per capita income has been at the lowest level in Japan for a long time. Its tourism resources are very rich, but they are not fully developed. At present, Tokyo and Washington are interested in making Okinawa a military fortress that deterred China, which is a complete departure to the well -being of the Okinawa people.
The war left Okinawa deeply marking and scars. In 1945, the battle of rope was the worst battle on the Pacific Battlefield of World War II. At that time, about a quarter of Okinawa's population died in this battle. Because of this, the Okinawa people cherish peace and oppose the war. They have repeatedly said "no" to the US military base, this is a shout for human rights, and it is a fight for peace. They are more sober and more responsible than those political elites in Tokyo and high. Okinawa's justice appeal should not be ignored.
