Are there any China people on the Ryukyu Islands?

We should not only take the initiative on the Diaoyu Islands issue, but also forget the sovereignty of Ryukyu. According to international law, Ryukyu is not Japanese territory. Why should Japan set up a county there to declare its sovereignty? In particular, this greedy country is getting its hands on our territory, and the default occupation of Ryukyu can only encourage its arrogance. What's more, Japan claims that Diaoyu Island belongs to Japan because it once belonged to Ryukyu. If the government recognizes the rationality of Okinawa's legal status, Japan's Diaoyu Islands appeal will become reasonable, at least the people in Japan will think so. Therefore, for the sake of Diaoyu Island sovereignty, the legitimate interests of Ryukyu people, the dignity of international law and peace and justice, China must come forward to negotiate Ryukyu sovereignty with Japan and the United States, and China must shout "Japan get out of Ryukyu"! Only in this way can we confidently defend our sovereignty; Only in this way can China be regarded as a big country with a sense of responsibility and justice. For a long time, we have been used to passive beatings, never knowing how to take the initiative or even how to attack each other. Blindly passive defense can only become the target of others' success. "I am a fish knife" is the usual ending for the weak to face the strong. So, China can stop bullying others. If others bully us, they should respond rudely. This is our dignity and right. We should let the abuser know that they must pay a hundred times the price of our loss! We have a diplomatic principle of non-interference in other countries' internal affairs. Do we interfere in other countries' internal affairs by intervening in the Ryukyu issue? Obviously not! According to international law, Ryukyu is not Japanese territory, so we have not interfered in Japan's internal affairs or threatened Japan's sovereignty. There is no doubt that Ryukyu is not the territory of the United States, and naturally we have not interfered in the internal affairs of the United States; Ryukyu is not an independent country, and our intervention is naturally not interference in Ryukyu's internal affairs. Because of its non-interference in internal affairs, Ryukyu has a deep historical relationship with China, and was forcibly linked to the sovereignty of Diaoyu Islands by Japan. What reason do we have to participate in the Ryukyu issue without hesitation?

Ryukyu was occupied by Japan twice before and after, but the Ryukyu people's dream of rejuvenating the country has never been extinguished, and they have been working hard from beginning to end. After the Cold War, although the United States supported and encouraged national independence movements around the world, such as Chechnya in Russia and East Timor in Indonesia, it ignored the Ryukyu Zionist Movement, hoping to provoke tensions in East Asian countries and worried about the final reconciliation between China, Japan and South Korea. The feud between China and Japan began in the Ryukyu Islands, and it will inevitably end in the Ryukyu Islands. Let the Ryukyu Islands become a peaceful, free and neutral country and Switzerland in the East, and let the Asia-Pacific region become the most beautiful and peaceful arc!

When Japan just occupied Ryukyu, in order to put out the national consciousness and independence tendency of Ryukyu people, it used all kinds of methods of combining hard and soft by hook or by crook to force "Japanization". At that time, the localization of Ryukyu people was already deep. Although Japan has been transformed into an imperial people for 70 years, the culture accumulated by China for hundreds of years is still deeply rooted. Ryukyu people use Ryukyu dialect, which is a completely different Chinese dialect from Japanese. Their customs and social culture still belong to Chinese culture, their accents belong to Minnan and Taiwan Province languages, and they have their own unique history. They use the lunar year number in China, and the festivals are similar to those in China. In the late World War II, the United States attacked Ryukyu Island, and the Japanese forced Ryukyu people to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff, or simply killed Ryukyu people to cope with the lack of food in Ryukyu. This war reduced the population of Ryukyu by a quarter and killed about 200 thousand people. At the last moment, the Japanese army "far-sighted" dispersed the last symbol of Ryukyu's independence-the palace guard, and the palace was razed to the ground in the war. Since the founding of Ryukyu, all documents and archives of the royal family have been burned, and the 750-year-old cultural accumulation of Ryukyu has been lost. 1972 After the United States "transferred" Ryukyu to Japan, in order to completely eliminate China culture, Japan imposed "compulsory national education", wearing Japanese clothes and eating Japanese food. Every Ryukyu child must enter a school that can only speak Japanese and learn Japanese culture, and receive at least ten years of enslavement education. In order to eliminate the Chinese dialect in Ryukyu, each class has made three "dialect cards" since primary school. Whoever speaks Ryukyu Chinese dialect will get the card, and the cardholder can only pass it on to the next one if he finds another dialect speaker. The last three students who get their cards after school must stay and clean the classroom. Therefore, many primary school students who got the card did not hesitate to fight with their classmates, forcing them to blurt out "it hurts" or "asshole" in dialect to transfer the card to avoid punishment. This has made Ryukyu "Japanese" until now, and Ryukyu people still have not forgotten history and ancestors. In fact, most Japanese don't recognize Ryukyu people as Japanese. They think Yamato talents are real Japanese. Therefore, the Japanese government does not care about the life and death of the Ryukyu people. The American troops stationed in Ryukyu raped Ryukyu women many times, and the Ryukyu people demonstrated many times to demand the withdrawal of the United States. The Japanese government has always turned a deaf ear.

1In August, 1996, three American soldiers at the US military base in Ryukyu conspired to rape a girl who was only 12 years old, which triggered an unprecedented anti-American wave in Ryukyu. The "Ryukyu independence" movement, which has been shaken many times, has once again become a hot spot, and Ryukyu people have heated discussions in the streets and lanes. In the bookstore, a history book named "Okinawa (Ryukyu) Independence Day" began to sell well, calling on the Ryukyu people to strive for independence from Japan. It tells people with history that "we are not Japanese" and tells "the history of Ryukyu Kingdom" with irrefutable materials. On September 8, Ryukyu people held a referendum on "Should the US military base be kept or abolished", and Ryukyu FM radio station "Communication" launched a public opinion survey on "Whether Ryukyu is independent", and the call for Ryukyu independence set off a new climax. The results of the referendum show that the people voted unanimously not to accept the US military base, not to mention the decision made by the Japanese government. This made Japanese high-level officials like ants on hot bricks for a while, and finally gave Ryukyu a huge financial allocation. Like foreign heads of state, they solemnly received the governor (county magistrate) of Okinawa Prefecture, apologized repeatedly, and even coaxed and cheated to get through. 1In March, 1997, during the visit to Japan, US Secretary of Defense Cohen broke the scandal of rape and abuse of Ryukyu women by US troops stationed in Ryukyu. An American soldier threw a Ryukyu woman over his head and landed on the bed, breaking several bones. On April 7th/kloc-0, 100 representatives of Ryukyu residents' groups wore Ryukyu national costumes different from those of the Japanese, held traditional musical instruments, drums and harps, and protested at the top of their voices in front of the Japanese parliament, which deliberated the US military garrison bill. However, despite the strong opposition of the Ryukyu people, the Japanese parliament forcibly passed the "US Army stationed in Ryukyu Act", forcing thousands of Ryukyu people who were unwilling to rent their land to the US military to rent it. In this way, Ryukyu is in an uproar, and the call for independence is constantly rising.

Although the people in China knew little about the Ryukyu issue at that time and the government never publicized it, the Kuomintang government made many statements during the Anti-Japanese War. 1938 In April, Chiang Kai-shek delivered a speech at the Provisional National Congress of the Kuomintang: "Since Meiji, Japan has had a consistent plan for mainland aggression. In the Sino-Japanese War of 1894- 1895, Taiwan Province Province and Ryukyu were invaded. After the Russo-Japanese War, it annexed Korea, invaded Lushun and Dalian ... It took Taiwan Province Province as the base for advancing southward and wanted to invade South China and East China from now on. North Korea and the brigade are the base areas for northward advancement, thus attacking our Manchuria and North China. " 1942165438+1On October 3, Song Ziwen, Foreign Minister of China National Government, held a press conference in Chongqing, pointing out that the land occupied by Japan after the war should be returned to its original owners, and "China should recover the four northeastern provinces, Taiwan Province Province and Ryukyu" 1970, the United States and Japan signed San Francisco with China behind their backs. However, this was opposed by the landlord Ryukyu people, who "gathered downtown to cry", gathered overnight to protest against the United States and Japan, and sent several delegations to Taiwan Province Province to cry to Jiang Zhongzheng. In Chinese, the delegation implored President Jiang to speak out at the United Nations to make Ryukyu independent or incorporated into Chinese territory, for the sake of "one family". Although this "return" of Ryukyu has no basis in international law or local voting, Zhang Chai's "Ryukyu Revival Movement" publicly supported by the Kuomintang lasted for a long time. Maybe that's the case. Most domestic citizens who are familiar with the Ryukyu issue advocate that Ryukyu belongs to China and should be returned to China's territory, but this is exactly the opposite of the Ryukyu people's claim to restore the country.

The Ryukyu Zionist Movement believes that Ryukyu has been an independent country since ancient times, and has close relations with China, North Korea and Southeast Asian countries, especially China, and is almost as close as brothers. China's 5,000-year-old civilization has given us far-reaching influence. Ryukyu has been using Chinese characters and Chinese, actively participating in cultural exchange activities with China, sending overseas students to China, and attracting skilled craftsmen from China to teach technology in Ryukyu, making Ryukyu's civilization and culture unprecedentedly prosperous. Ryukyu is a sovereign and independent kingdom, and the people of Ryukyu have always had a good impression on China. Looking back on the previous history, in desperation, the Qing government actively ran, protested, negotiated and opposed the hegemonic behavior of Japan's occupation of Ryukyu, although it finally gave up. China has done everything for Ryukyu, and we will never forget this relationship. Japan's aggression left Ryukyu scarred, its history and culture were completely destroyed, and the Ryukyu people fell into Japanese colonial rule. We firmly condemn and protest the heinous crimes committed by the Japanese, and hope that the China government will give more help to Ryukyu independence in the history of the century-old relationship. The Ryukyu Zionist Movement is a political party that needs the help and support of the people of China. We hope that the two sides can strengthen communication and actively promote Ryukyu's independent thought, so that Ryukyu can get rid of Japanese slavery. Ryukyu is a very independent kingdom and a very peace-loving kingdom.

The basic program of Ryukyu's Zionist Movement has the following five points: First, Ryukyu has been a sovereign and independent country since ancient times, and the Ryukyu people do not recognize Japan's colonial rule over Ryukyu Islands; Second, restore the sovereign independence and territorial integrity of Ryukyu State and establish Ryukyu State; 3. When necessary, we will negotiate with other political organizations or groups to set up the "Ryukyu Provisional Government"; Fourthly, the political system adopted after the recovery of Ryukyu should seek the opinions of all political parties and the wishes of the people; 5. Oppose any individual, group, party or country to question Ryukyu independence. The Ryukyu Zionist Movement has been fighting for the restoration of Ryukyu independence!

But we can't take it for granted that Ryukyu belongs to China. Although it was once a vassal state of China, it was never formally incorporated into our territory. Therefore, we can't declare our sovereignty over Ryukyu, otherwise we can only give the United States and Japan a handle, which will not only help solve the Ryukyu problem, but also help defend the sovereignty of Diaoyu Island. However, this is by no means the reason why we don't help Ryukyu become independent. Because of Japan's greed and shameless, Diaoyu Island has long been associated with Ryukyu countries. In fact, we have long been unable to stay out of it. Besides helping Ryukyu people, we also help ourselves. We have no other better choice. Ryukyu Islands, located between Japan and Taiwan Province Province, is a long and narrow island chain, which spans our maritime gateway in the Pacific Ocean. The United States and Japan have been trying to build an island chain that blocks us from going to sea, and the independence of Ryukyu is the complete rupture of the first island chain. For a long time, the US military presence in Ryukyu has seriously threatened China's security, and what is more serious is that it has controlled our gateway to and from the Pacific Ocean. After Ryukyu becomes independent, we and Ryukyu will become extremely friendly countries, and the vast Pacific Ocean will open its arms to us without hindrance. More importantly, the independence of Ryukyu will help solve the problem of Taiwan Province Province. Without Ryukyu as a military springboard, both the United States and Taiwan independence would lose heart and despair. As long as the Japanese government and people resolutely intervene, the Ryukyu People's Independence Movement will be surging, not only the US military will sit on an active volcano, but even Japan will be in a hurry, and the real influence of the United States and Japan on Taiwan independence will naturally be greatly reduced. Japan originally clumsily linked Diaoyu Island and Ryukyu Islands in order to stimulate China to prove that Diaoyu Island does not belong to "Japan's Ryukyu Islands". Since Japan claims that Diaoyu Island belongs to Ryukyu, and we desperately declare that Diaoyu Island does not belong to Japan, does it indirectly prove that Ryukyu belongs to Japan? Doesn't that mean that the China government agrees with the Japanese occupation of Ryukyu? It can be seen that the Chinese government has long been taken in by the Japanese, and the government has so far failed to wake up from Mao Zhou's short-sightedness on the Ryukyu issue, which is evident from the fact that Ryukyu is still within the territory of Japan on the China version of the world map. Unfortunately, the Japanese are not satisfied with China's acquiescence to the Ryukyu issue, but push their luck and pretend that they really want to rob the Diaoyu Islands with us. Ironically, our family members are keen to verbally condemn Japan, resulting in the substantial control of Diaoyu Island falling into the hands of the Japanese. Since Japan actually controls Diaoyu Island, it greedily continues to get its hands on Taiwan Province Province. If Taiwan Province Province is really independent, it will definitely continue to get its hands on our mainland until we are really divided into several small pieces. Therefore, we can't retreat, we shouldn't retreat, and there is no room for retreat. We have been cornered by Japan, and we have no choice but to jump and shout back, unless we voluntarily jump off the cliff and smash it! China government, please remember that Ryukyu is the talon of Japanese reaching out to China. Only by cutting off this talon can the Japanese people wake up! Japan is not in the southeast!

Therefore, China should not only pay attention to the Ryukyu issue, but also get involved in a high-profile and comprehensive way! We must completely abandon the passive defensive posture. "High-profile attack, attacking the enemy must be defended" is our best strategy, which can win us the greatest strategic space if our opponents are in a hurry! The Japanese government should face up to the Ryukyu issue, clearly point out that Ryukyu is not Japanese territory, and negotiate with the United States and China from the perspective of international law. Of course, just staying in words can only scare the United States and Japan for a while, and we need to take some concrete actions. We should fully support and promote the Ryukyu Zionist Movement, allow Ryukyu people to set up a Zionist organization in China, provide necessary funds for the Ryukyu Zionist Movement, help the Ryukyu Zionist Organization collect data and information, and help cultivate all kinds of necessary talents. Of course, Ryukyu and Japan should be completely separated on the China version of the world map. The purpose is to make Ryukyu people take China as their hinterland and guide Ryukyu people to have more and more enthusiasm for restoring the country. Once the Ryukyu people's desire for independence is extremely strong, we will push them to hold a referendum in due course. As long as the referendum results in independence, the jurisprudence of Ryukyu's independent founding will be established. The United States is always under the banner of democracy and human rights. Once the Ryukyu referendum is independent, the American garrison can only slip away. If Japan sends troops to intervene, we will send troops, and we will never allow Japan to run amok under our noses again! As soon as Ryukyu becomes independent, China will sign a comprehensive friendship treaty with him, and the mainland will embrace our former Ryukyu brothers with open arms! But we must remember that Ryukyu can never be claimed as ours, and it is more beneficial to maintain an independent Ryukyu than to join China!

There is no doubt that Diaoyu Island belongs to us. However, if you just stay in "emphasizing that Diaoyu Island is not Japanese", you will not only be cornered by Japan, but also be passively beaten everywhere. Since Japan insists on linking Diaoyu Island with Ryukyu, we can only pick up the Ryukyu issue. Once we raise the Ryukyu flag, the Diaoyu Islands issue will take a back seat in Sino-Japanese relations, and an international law issue involving the legal legacy of World War II will attract the attention of the international community. The question is: Are the Cairo Declaration and the Postan Peace Treaty still valid? If these two international law documents are no longer valid, then the United Nations will lose its foundation of existence, because the United Nations is the product of these two documents. Similarly, it is not only illegal for the United States and Japan to give and receive in private, but also illegal for their troops stationed in Ryukyu. Therefore, the Ryukyu issue is the embarrassment of the United States and the death of Japan! The United States and Japan are known as democratic countries, and democratic countries attach the most importance to law and public opinion. As long as China is not timid and the people of Ryukyu still have the desire for independence, then Ryukyu is an excellent card to reverse China's strategic passivity! Seize it quickly, this is the opportunity given by God. Sitting and watching it go can only go against God's will and bear God's wrath!
