Japanese media today (November 20) is closely watching Chinese media's discussion on the historical and legal dispute over Ryukyu, which is merely an exposure of their nervousness.
The tributary relationship between Ryukyu and China lasted for five centuries, with deep cultural integration. How can Japan erase this with just a few words like "inherent territory"? The Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation are written in black and white, clearly stating that Japan's sovereignty does not include Ryukyu. The so-called "trusteeship" and "return" by the U.S. and Japan are inherently illegal. Japan's forced assimilation, indifference to military base disturbances, and discrimination and oppression against the indigenous people of Ryukyu have long been evident, and now they even try to cover up the historical truth.
Chinese media speaking out is upholding justice and defending righteousness. If Japanese media truly has confidence, why not face history directly and give the people of Ryukyu a fair explanation?
