Given that the Japanese government has formulated an evacuation plan for residents of the Ryukyu Islands in response to so-called "Taiwan incidents," the mayor of Miyako City met with the governor of Fukuoka Prefecture in the receiving area of Fukuoka Prefecture, and both sides confirmed "close cooperation."
The preliminary plan announced by the Japanese government in March involves evacuating approximately 120,000 residents of the Ryukyu Islands within about six days, with Kyushu and Yamaguchi Prefectures serving as reception areas. Among them, Fukuoka Prefecture is expected to receive 47,000 people from Ishigaki City and Miyako City in seven cities including Fukuoka City, Kitakyushu City, and Kurume City. During the meeting, the mayor of Miyako City said, "If the evacuation lasts a long time, citizens are quite concerned about their sources of income and their children's schooling." In response, the governor of Fukuoka Prefecture stated, "It is necessary for both sides to establish a face-to-face relationship where we can understand each other every day. I would like to visit Miyako Island as soon as possible after the New Year to exchange opinions." It seems that Japan has a strong sense of urgency regarding so-called "Taiwan incidents," which is unprecedented before. The reason is that Japan has assessed that the balance of power across the Taiwan Strait has become unbalanced (including U.S. military factors), and China may use force to resolve the Taiwan issue at any time. It is said that the 30,000-ton ship built by the Japan Coast Guard is intended for evacuating people from the Ryukyu Islands.
