China questions Japan rule over Okinawa
BEIJING (AP) — China is trying to strengthen its claim on tiny,
uninhabited, Japanese-controlled islands by raising questions about
the much larger Okinawa chain that is home to more than a million
Japanese along with major U.S. military installations. The tactic,
however, appears to have done little but harden Tokyo's stance.
Japan refuses to offer any concessions to China over Tokyo's control
of the uninhabited East China Sea islands, which are called Diaoyu by
China and Senkaku by Japan. Tokyo issued a formal protest to Beijing
over the comments about Okinawa, made last week in the ruling
Communist Party's flagship newspaper, the People's Daily.
Scholars in Japan and elsewhere, meanwhile, warn Beijing may be
shooting itself in the foot by arousing fears of a creeping campaign
to nibble away at Japanese territory.
"If China's goal is to hold talks with Japan over the Senkakus,
articles like these are counterproductive," said M. Taylor Fravel, a
Chinese foreign policy expert at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology. "As a result, Japan has an even stronger incentive now to
stand firm with China and not hold talks."
The Diaoyu issue has rarely been out of the headlines in China since
Japan's government bought the islands in September to preempt Tokyo's
pugnacious former mayor from doing so.
Although the Japanese government purchase was ostensibly aimed
reducing tensions, the move was seen in China as an attempt to
solidify Tokyo's sovereignty over the islets. Outraged Chinese staged
violent street protests and attacked Japanese property, while the
government backed up its objections by dispatching patrol boats to
confront Japanese ships and sending a surveillance plane into Japanese
airspace. While the sides have avoided clashes, the situation remains
tense and neither side has backed down.
The comments about Okinawa appeared in a scholarly editorial in
People's Daily, in an apparent attempt to weaken the historical basis
of Japan's claim to the Senkaku islands by questioning the legitimacy
of its control over the entire Okinawa chain. Its authors, Li Guoqiang
and Zhang Haipeng, are prominent academics at the government's Chinese
Academy of Social Sciences and the editorial is believed to have
received high-level approval.
Li and Zhang wrote that Japan's annexation of the formerly independent
kingdom of the Ryukyus, including Okinawa, in 1879 amounted to an
invasion and the question of sovereignty remains open. The kingdom had
also been a Chinese vassal, giving Beijing a say in its political
status, although the ruling Qing dynasty was too weak at the time to
oppose Japan, the two wrote.
"Not only is Japan obliterating the truth about the Ryukyu issue, but
it is doubling its aggressiveness and making provocations over the
Diaoyu issue. Therefore it is necessary to revisit the Ryukyu issue,"
Li wrote in a follow-up article in a sister newspaper, Global Times.
Neither scholar said what, if anything, China should do about the
Okinawa chain.
Japan added the Senkaku islands to its territory in 1895, but China
refuses to consider them a part of Okinawa. It claims that they were
always part of Taiwan, the self-governing island claimed by Beijing.
Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said last week that the
Chinese remarks about Okinawa were "totally unacceptable to us."
China's increasingly combative stance is seen as reflecting the
attitudes of the country's new leader Xi Jinping, who espouses a
muscular nationalism and an aggressive approach to China's territorial
claims. China has sparred with the Philippines and Vietnam over
overlapping claims in the South China Sea and recently engaged in a
three-week standoff with Indian troops along a remote Himalayan
section of their disputed border.
China's navy and air force have also been increasingly active around
Okinawa, passing through on their way to the West Pacific and
conducting missions over the East China Sea that regularly force Japan
to scramble its own jets.
The Chinese assertiveness has prompted a rebalancing of forces to the
Asia-Pacific region by the U.S., which already maintains Air Force,
Marine, Navy and Army bases on Okinawa, along with about 25,000
troops.
The U.S. occupied Okinawa from the end of World War II until May 15,
1972, and the military's continued presence there remains a source of
tension for Okinawans. Wednesday's anniversary of the return of
Okinawa to Japan was marked with no official ceremonies in the
prefecture (state).
Although Washington doesn't take a formal stance on the Senkakus'
sovereignty, it recognizes Japanese control over them and says they
fall within the scope of the U.S.-Japan mutual defense pact.
Washington's stance has drawn rebukes from Beijing, which already
resents the U.S. for emboldening Japan on the issue and is highly
criticial of what is referred to as the American military's "pivot" to
Asia.
The U.S. rebalancing "has aroused a great deal of suspicion in China,"
former Vice Foreign Minister He Yafei wrote in Foreign Policy magazine
this week. "These suspicions deepen when the United States gets itself
entangled in China's dispute with Japan over the Diaoyu islands," He
wrote.
Liang Yunxiang, a Japan expert at Peking University, said China's
questions about Okinawa are in part intended to win over global public
opinion by "raising awareness of Japan's invasion history that Japan
has tried so hard to obscure."
However, Liang said that "the move will, of course, frustrate Japan
and the stances of the two sides may get tougher."
Beijing will likely take further such moves as part of a calculated
strategy to increase pressure on Japan and strengthening China's
bargaining position, said Paul O'Shea of the Center for East and
Southeast Asian Studies at Sweden's Lund University.
June Teufel Dreyer, a China expert at the University of Miami, said
the danger for Beijing is not only that it could alienate Japan, but
that it could raise expectations among Chinese activists. That could
make it harder for the government to back away from the issue, posing
the "first serious test of Xi Jinping's leadership abilities," she
said.

So you turned your time and effort to learn Chinese, but still no one
wants hire you.
How sad!!!
I traced his location through his IP address. He uses his real name
as his ID, "Satish". His real name is Satish Kumar. His IP address
indicated he's in Kansas, just above Wichita.
Searching through the internet, I found a "Satish C. Kumar" living in
Overland Park, Kansas, just above the server location. The server is
located between Wichita and Overland Park.
What I stated about him is on the internet.

Overall Poor to fair
The layout and the size of the apartment are great. The staff,
management and maintenance do half a@@ jobs. It takes forever to get
anything completed. Once it is. It doesn't help to complain because
management is a joke. The tenants are loud and obnoxious. The carport
and the apartments have mold. I wouldn't recommend this apartment to
my worst enemy. You should save your money and move into a bad area.
I
least you know what to expect and your saving about $300-$400.
