The Japanese should conduct a referendum on the issue.

FYI in 2019, Okinawans voted to reject building of new US military bases on their Island already dominated by US presence.  The island’s governor, Denny Tamaki, demanded Abe to respect Okinawa (aka Ryukyu Kingdom)  referendum, which Tokyo simply ignored, instead Jap listen to the orders of their American colonial master...



Over 70% of voters – or 434,000 people – opposed construction of a new base on Okinawa’s northeast coast that will replace an existing US marine corps base 30 miles away. Just 19% voted in favour of the move, with turnout at 52%.

Test your knowledge about Okinawa history.

You know that Okinawa is a....

1. province of Japan only from 1972. (yes that is not a typo)
2. There are over 25 30 US military bases on Okinawa.
3. Only hear about it from WW2 history.
4. Was an independent kingdom called Ryukyus until 1870s.
5. None of the above.

[sgbuffett]

Even though  Okinawan claims is weaker than Taiwan, the people should be allowed a referendum like in Scotland to express their desire for the future.

Forcibly integrating a group with a distinct territory like an island is not right

Remember Singapore residents in 1960s voted in a referendum to be part of Malaysia....we are a separate state despite our proximity to Malaysia so distance is not a good gauge.

History shows us that forced integration is tragic and unnecessary. Look at Soviet Union it would send tanks to suppress Hungary uprising, etc in the end it broke up. Today we see the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Putin used force to suppress Chechen movement and installed puppets in Belarus...

Can China lay claim to Okinawa .............?

China was offered the islands of Okinawa by the Americans after the defeat of Jap in WW2.

That time KMT gov procrastinated and ended up the territory came under the Jap control in 1972 when US gov decided to "give" it to Jap.

You can compare KMT stupidity with Bolehland gov when it kicked SG out of its territory in 1965.

You are wrong. Taiwan used to be the homeland of Javanese and Sundanese, and they abandoned Taiwan and migrated to Java island in Indonesia 1500 BC.





So Taiwan has nothing to do with the Philippines, which also claims Sabah belongs to the Philippines.

Taiwanese fabricate history to make it like Taiwan is not related to China….if so all theTaiwanese (95% are Han Chinese) including President Tsai and the DPP should leave Taiwan immediately and let the aboriginal people take over.

央视介绍琉球：位于我国台湾与日本之间。
我国从未承认，琉球是日本的。

秦刚之前也表示，根据波茨坦公告，
琉球也不是日本领土。

同时，我国驻日大使会见琉球知事，双方同意，
在中文里，把冲绳改为琉球。
从此之后，中国不会再用冲绳这个词了。
没有冲绳，只有琉球。
琉球当局领导人，也就是知事，已经计划访华。


我们的立场很简单，琉球不是日本领土。
琉球是琉球人的琉球。
