Why Japan Should Ignore China’s Okinawa Provocation


By now the narrative is familiar: China, brandishing a sheaf of faded
maps and records, questions the basis of Japan’s authority over
islands in the East China Sea. The dispute summons bitter memories of
the Middle Kingdom’s humiliation at the hands of its neighbor starting
in the late 19th century, but also heightens fears that Beijing is
abandoning its decade-old mantra of “peaceful rise” to become the
revisionist power its neighbors and Washington fear.

For the last year, this has been the tale of the Senkaku Islands, a
remote cluster of rocks whose only mammalian inhabitants are goats and
an endangered race of moles. China’s claim to the islets, which it
calls Diaoyu, dates back at least four decades, but tensions have
heightened since the Japanese government announced last year that it
would purchase them from a private owner.

Just last week, however, Beijing opened up a new front in the dispute.
On Wednesday, China’s leading state-run newspaper, the People’s Daily,
ran a piece questioning the status of Okinawa, home to 1.4 million
Japanese citizens as well as 25,000 U.S. troops. Its authors, two
scholars at a government-backed think tank, surveyed the history of
the Ryukyu Islands, of which Okinawa is easily the most important, and
concluded that the legitimacy of Japan’s rule over the chain is
“unresolved.” When pressed for comment, China’s Foreign Ministry
refused to affirm that the Ryukyus are part of Japan, instead
reiterating that “the Diaoyu Islands,” which sit to Okinawa’s west,
“are China’s inherent territory,” and not part of the Ryukyus. This is
hardly the first time that nationalists have attempted to sow doubt
about Okinawa, but never before have questions about Japanese
sovereignty been entertained at such a high level.

The Ryukyus arc from Kyushu, the southernmost of Japan’s main islands,
towards Taiwan. Most of their residents are indigenous Ryukyuans, a
group of peoples who have traditionally spoken their own Japonic
languages and maintained political and trade ties with both China and
Japan. Even before the unification of Okinawa and surrounding islands
under a single king in the 15th century, the Ryukyuans were
tributaries of the Ming Dynasty. But after their king refused to help
the Japanese daimyo Hideyoshi invade Korea in the 1590s, the islands
were subjugated by a feudal lord from Kyushu. For almost three
centuries, the islands’ kings paid tribute to two masters, the shogun
of Japan and the emperor of China.

The arrival of Commodore Matthew Perry and his “black ships” in the
1850s rocked Japan, but the new state that emerged from this political
turmoil was unified and assertive. In 1879, the young Emperor Meiji, a
modernizing reformer, formally absorbed the Ryukyus, which became
Japan’s Okinawa Prefecture. China’s Qing Dynasty ratified this action
in 1895, but only under duress; the Treaty of Shimonoseki, which ended
the First Sino-Japanese War, not only provided that China would
abandon any claims to the Ryukyus, but signed away Taiwan and severed
China’s longstanding tributary relationship with Korea. (The treaty
also helped set the stage for the Senkaku dispute, which turns in part
on whether those islets were part of Taiwan, and thus reverted to
China after 1945, or the Ryukyus.)

Okinawa was captured by Allied troops in the final months of the
Pacific War, but this victory came at such a terrible cost that it may
have influenced President Truman’s decision to use atomic weapons
rather than mount a ground assault on Japan’s home islands. When the
American occupation of Japan ended in 1952, the Treaty of San
Francisco provided that Washington would continue to administer the
Ryukyus. Okinawa became a key pedestal of American power in Asia, an
idea that Commodore Perry had championed a century earlier. The chain
reverted to Japanese control in 1972, but the U.S. military continues
to maintain a constellation of bases on Okinawa under the terms of
Washington’s security alliance with Tokyo.

From all indications, China has set its goal to reclaim all its former
land lost
when China was weak and unable to defend itself.

When one lives by the sword, one also dies by the sword.
That is the case of Japan.

The Pacific nations are all aware that imperialist China has come to
believe like rstx that "Today, it's all about military power, the only
thing counts." In 1979, the CCP dictatorship under Deng Xiaoping's
helmsmanship caused the death of nearly 150,000 human soldiers just to
"teach Vietnam a lesson". It is another matter that a significant
proportion of the dead were Chinese soldiers. But that mattered very
little to lull the blood-lust of the CCP dictatorship in Beijing.


As far as the Pacific countries (Japan, Korea, Taiwan, the
Philippines, Vietnam, Brunei, Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia, New
Zealand etc.) are concerned, it is the CCP dictatorship in Beijing
that is the greatest menace to world peace. In fact, China's small
neighbors thank USA for the fact that China hasn't dared since 1979
to launch a bloody invasion to teach any of its small neighbors a
lesson. As far as the Pacific nations are concerned, it is the USA
that is providing a shield against the blood lust of the CCP
dictatorship.


rstx is a Quisling. He is a 74-year old naturalized American who lives
in USA withe his gf on his pension from defense contractor Lockheed
and on US social security checks. But his heart beats with Beijing's
bandit regime that rules the country (China) where he was born. rstx
is an unabashed running dog of CCP imperialism.


Here's rstx's sorry history of double dealing and outright treason:
rstx was born in a village in China. He became a naturalized US
citizen and got a secret clearance from US government to work on
advanced weapons systems at Lockheed. It is clear that rstx had
thought it wise not to reveal that his heart was with the bandit
regime in Beijing when he applied for US citizenship, for a secret
clearance and for a job with Lockheed.


rstx has retired and continues to live with his gf in USA. He lives
off pensions from Lockheed and from US social security. But he has
chosen to to supplement his US pensions with an allowance of 50 cents/
post on the newsgroup from the CCP dictatorship in China. But, of
course, rstx is well knows which side of the toast is buttered. For
all his rantings about "evil USA" and "virtuous CCP-dictatorship in
China", he has stayed put in USA. That's the reason that he doesn't go
back to the land of his heart and birth. He continues to live in USA
even as he insists, like a Quisling, on being a running dog of CCP
imperialism working 24/7 on the internet to earn his bone of 50 cents/
page from the CCP regime.


74-year old rstx will do himself a big favor if he enrolls himself in
some adult education school. Otherwise patriotically challenged rstx
will continue to make a spectacle of himself by revealing his apalling
ignorance in everything from history to English. And if rstx can't get
himself to do that, he should stop bilking USA and go back to where
his heart really resides, namely, the village of his birth in China
under CCP-dictatorship. That would be the honest thing to do. Of
course, it is another matter that his gf will refuse to follow rstx to
CCP-land where any deviation of his newsgroup posts from the official
CCP-line will right away lead him to re-education through labor ( 勞動教
養 ).


Chinese-Americans are by and large a patriotic lot. But there are a
few bad apples who go proactive with their bid to serve the colonial
agenda of CCP-dictatorship. These bad apples had often worked with
defense contractors like Lockheed, Boeing etc. but when opportunity
came they betrayed USA by selling company and US secrets to the CCP-
dictatorship. When caught with their pants down, these bad apples
inevitably landed in jail.


rstx, USA respects your freedom of speech. Unlike the CCP-dictatorship
in China, the US government is not going to monitor your posts on the
newsgroup and go after you for your rantings on the internet. You can
bark with impunity without any fear of reprisal by the US government.
But you will make a grave mistake if you ever try to bite the hand
that feeds you by selling Lockheed and US secrets to the CCP-
dictatorship. You will be eventually caught and spend the rest of your
golden years inside jail cells.


Try to be like the normal Chinese-Americans. Ambassador Gary Locke is
a good role model. He has won nothing but admiration from the
ordinary Chinese under CCP-dictatorship.He is far more respected by
the ordinary folks in China than the stinking fat cats in the party
politburo.


As a retired 74-year old, you have ample time in your hand. Your idle
brain has become the devil's workshop. You are 24/7 on the internet
pushing the evil agenda of the CCP-dictatorship in China. But if you
have any brain, you will bark but not bite to avoid ending up in jail
like a few Chinese Americans have for selling US to the CCP-
dictatorship in China for pecuniary gains.


China-born aerospace engineer Dogfang Greg Chung is the same age as 74-
year old rstx. rstx would be wise to steer himself away from the path
of treason that has earned the 74-year old Dongfan Gref Chung a 15
year prison sentence. Here's Dogfang Greg Chung's shameful story:


********************

Chinese-born engineer gets 15 years in spying for China
Dongfan 'Greg' Chung, who worked with Boeing and Rockwell
International, was accused of providing information on the space
shuttle and Delta IV rocket.
By Patrick J. McDonnell


A Chinese-born aerospace engineer who had access to sensitive material
while working with a pair of major defense contractors in Southern
California was sentenced Monday to more than 15 years in prison for
acquiring secret space shuttle data and other information for China.


U.S. District Judge Cormac J. Carney in Santa Ana imposed a 188-month
prison term on Dongfan "Greg" Chung, 73, a naturalized U.S. citizen
who lives in Orange.


Carney declared that he could not "put a price tag" on national
security and sought to send a signal to China to "stop sending your
spies here," according to the U.S. attorney's office.


Chung, who worked at Boeing's Huntington Beach plant, denied being a
spy and said he was gathering documents for a book, not for espionage.
His attorneys argued that much of the material was already available
on the public record.


At his sentencing, Chung professed his love for the United States,
even as prosecutors depicted him as a spy who would compromise U.S.
national security.


"Giving China advanced rocket technology is not in the United States'
national interest," said Assistant U.S. Atty. Greg Staples. "There is
a voracious appetite for U.S. technology in China."


Whether loyalty to his homeland or financial gain was Chung's motive
remained unclear. The case is one of a number of prosecutions that
have shed light on alleged Chinese efforts to gain access to U.S.
technology and research through espionage.


Chung was the first suspect tried with attempting to help a foreign
nation under the terms of the 1996 Economic Espionage Act, passed to
help prevent pilfering of sensitive economic information. Chung chose
to have the case heard by the judge rather than a jury.


Chung was convicted last year on charges of economic espionage and
acting as an agent for more than three decades while employed by
Rockwell International and Boeing Co.


When Chung was convicted, Carney said the case revealed Chung's
"secret life" as a "spy" for China. The case against him arose from an
investigation into another engineer, Chi Mak, who worked in the United
States and obtained sensitive military information for China. Mak and
several relatives were convicted of providing defense information to
China, the U.S. attorney's office said. Carney sentenced Mak to more
than 24 years in prison in 2008.


Federal authorities said Chung stole restricted technology and trade
secrets, including data related to the space shuttle and the Delta IV
rocket.


"This case demonstrates our resolve to protect the secrets that help
protect the United States, as well as the important technology
advancements developed by scientists working for companies that
provide crucial support to our national security programs," acting
U.S. Atty. George S. Cardona said Monday in a statement.


Chung held a "secret" security clearance when he worked at Rockwell
and Boeing on the space shuttle program, authorities said. He retired
in 2002 but the next year returned to Boeing as a contractor, a
position he held until September 2006, the U.S. attorney's office
said.


Between 1985 and 2003, Chung made trips to China to deliver lectures
on technology involving the space shuttle and other programs, the
government said. During those trips, Chung met with Chinese government
officials, including military agents, U.S. authorities said.

That might earn you 50 cents from the CCP dictatorship but not much
else.

http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/3928/chineseman.gif ;

You have no mind of your own - your mind is a slave to CCP's
imperialist designs against China's neighbors. You have sold your mind
not for the proverbial "thirty pieces of silver" but for 50 cents per
post from the CCP:

*****************
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50_Cent_Party

The 50 Cent Party are Internet commentators (网络评论员, 網絡評論員, wǎnglù
pínglùn yuán) hired by the government of the People's Republic of
China (both local and central) or the Communist Party to post comments
favorable towards party policies in an attempt to shape and sway
public opinion on various Internet message boards. The commentators
are said to be paid for every post that either steers a discussion
away from anti-party or sensitive content on domestic websites,
bulletin board systems, and chatrooms, or that advances the Communist
party line.

*******************


rst0/9, you know which side of the bread is buttered. You know enough
of the life under the Beijing regime not to relocate to the land of
your birth to live under CCP dictatorship. You will rather shack up
with your gf in USA and live off US social security checks. But you
have no qualms about turning yourself into a stooge and cheerleader of
the CCP dictatorship in Beijing. Mr. Quisling would have been proud of
you.



PRC is a one-party state. The Communist Party has a monopoly of power.
No other party/opinion is allowed to coexist.

The CCP dictatorship is much like the military dictatorship in
Myanmar. The Military had a monopoly on power. When a General retired
as the top honcho of the state, another General succeeded him.

The CCP dictatorship is no different.

And your step mother knew that too. That is why, as soon as the CCP
captured power in 1949, she had her 11 year old step son (you) flee
Mainland China. You sought refuge in USA with a "father" whom you had
never met before.

BTW, how did your absentee father impregnate your mother? Did he send
his seeds to your mother by courier service?


Before bad mouthing USA, remember, if USA had not taken on Tojo's
Japan, China would have become a part of the Japanese "co-prosperity
sphere".


PRC's colonial claim against all neighbors of the Beijing regime rest
firmly on imperialist actions of the past. It cannot be justified.
Before callingthe kettle black, the pot should look at itself more
critically. The way the CCP dictatorship is advancing its imperialist
ambitions is truly breath-taking. It has taken a lot of chutzpah for
it to carve out that U-shaped claim on the South China Sea for itself.
The whole purpose of the CCP regime's obscene claim is to claim most
of the South China Sea as its territorial waters for the purpose of
usurping the natural resources in the sea and on the sea-bed and under
for itself.

China, for example, has a long history of imperial campaigns against
Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh had led the struggle for many many years against
the French and the USA. But he well knew who were the worst enemy.That
is why he had commented at the height of his fight against French
colonial rulers, "It is better to sniff French dung for a while than
to eat Chinese dung all our lives".

CCP's imperialist campaign against its neighbors well proves how right
Ho Chi Minh was.
