[quote]Okinawan governor Denny Tamaki - who has long objected to
US military bases - visits China from Monday.
...
According to People's Daily, the Communist Party's mouthpiece,
Xi spoke of exchanges between the former tributary state to
China and the province of Fujian, where he used to be governor.
"When I was working in Fuzhou, I was aware of the Ryukyu-kan
[diplomats' house] and the Ryukyu cemetery there, and that
Fujian had a deep connection with Ryukyu," he said.
"There were 36 clans from Fujian [that] moved and settled in
Ryukyu," he said, referring to a mass migration event in the
14th century.
A few days later, Tamaki told the media he interpreted the
remarks as Xi having "very deep insight into history and
culture".
"I take [Xi's statement] as an indication of his willingness to
develop future exchanges," he said.
...
With a strategic location in the first island chain, Ryukyu was
an important trade hub between ancient China and Japan.
Okinawa now hosts more than 70 per cent of US military forces in
Japan. Its affiliated island is just 110km (68 miles) from
Taiwan.
...
Denny Tamaki, however, has long opposed the US military bases on
the island, accusing them of bringing negative impacts to
locals. He also criticised the new defence strategy.
On June 23, the 78th anniversary of the Battle of Okinawa - one
of the bloodiest campaigns of the Pacific War in which one out
of four local civilians was killed - Tamaki issued his own peace
declaration, calling for the easing of tensions and building of
mutual trust with other countries and regions in the
Asia-Pacific region.
"[The defence build-up in Okinawa] and the memories of the
fierce ground battle has triggered great concern among the
residents and peaceful diplomacy through dialogue is being
demanded," Tamaki said in the document.
...
In the lead-up to his trip to China, Tamaki told the media he
would like to convey to the Chinese side "that we trust each
other and want to continue our mutually beneficial
relationship".
...
After meeting Chinese leaders and economic officials in Beijing,
Tamaki will head to Okinawa's "twin province" Fujian in
southeastern China to discuss economic and people exchanges with
local officials, according to Japanese media.[/quote]
If only the US would withdraw its military, everything would be
so much simpler.....

Indigenous community haunted by U.S., Canadian military presence
in Japan
[quote]
The presence of U.S. military bases on the Japanese island of
Okinawa, regularly used by Canadian Armed Forces members, is
coming under criticism from locals who are Indigenous to those
lands.
American bases occupy around eight per cent of the prefecture
and nearly 15 per cent of the main island, causing indignation
among locals like Zukeran, a former mayor of the city of
Nanjō, and a past member of the Japanese House of
Representatives.
He is calling on the Canadian and U.S. militaries to have a
conversation about their concerns.
“Before WWII in 1945, there were no military bases in Okinawa so
I would like to see Okinawa without military bases; how would
that be?”
“Some people say the presence of U.S. or any kinds of military
bases in Okinawa is protecting Okinawa but we don’t think so.
The presence of military bases in our island makes us a target,”
Okinawa International University economics professor Masaki
Tomochi said.
Tomochi believes Canada needs to be part of a dialogue about the
impact of the bases on locals. He points to chemical
contamination, noise pollution and crimes committed by U.S.
servicemen.
“We want our peaceful island back,” Tomochi said, adding, “I
want Canada not to invade our rights.”

s/article/french-soldier-stabbed-by-congolese-migrant-in-paris/
[quote]A French soldier was stabbed in the back by a
Congolese-born migrant at the Gare de l’Est in Paris on Monday
evening.
The attack occurred shortly before 10 p.m. local time when the
40-year-old perpetrator drove a knife between the shoulder
blades of the soldier who was patrolling the French capital as
part of the Opération Sentinelle counter-terror initiative.
The attacker was swiftly arrested and remains in custody.
The victim was escorted by the emergency services to a hospital
located at the Percy Army Training Center in Clamar
(Hauts-de-Seine). He is understood to be in a stable condition.
As cited by the Actu17 news outlet, a source close to the
ongoing police investigation said the attacker’s motivation for
the stabbing was retaliation for French military operations in
his home country.[/quote]
Thank you for the attempt! Unfortunately the target survived. A
poisoned knife would have yielded better results.

HTML https://us.yahoo.com/news/russias-wagner-group-admits-losses-155922015.html
[quote]Johannesburg — In a rare acknowledgment, Russia's private
mercenary army PMC Wagner said Monday that it had suffered heavy
losses in fighting against a Tuareg rebel alliance in the
northern part of the African nation of Mali. The state-funded
"private military company" did not say how many of its fighters
were killed in a days-long battle near Mali's border with
Algeria, but videos circulating on social media showed dozens of
bodies, mostly appearing to be white men.[/quote]
:)
[quote]Russia's state-run news agency TASS reported Monday that
only three of the Russian fighters were believed to have
survived the battle, and their commander Sergey Shevchenko was
among those killed in action.
The Malian army and Wagner fighters are believed to have been
conducting operations for several months in a bid to gain
control over the country's border with Algeria. The Taureg
militias remain in control of parts of the border region, but
militants affiliated with the JNIM organization, an alliance of
al-Qaeda aligned groups, also operate there.
Videos posted on social media show the bodies of men, most of
them white, lying in sand with Tuareg rebels talking and looting
personal effects in the background, as well as destroyed
vehicles and a downed helicopter.[/quote]
:)
[quote]The Tuareg rebel alliance in the area — known as the
Permanent Strategic Framework for Peace, Security and
Development (CSP-DSA) — said in a Saturday statement that it had
seized armoured vehicles and tanks in the fighting at
Tinzaouaten Thursday and Friday.
Spokesman Mohamed Elmaouloud Ramadane said in a Facebook post
that after two days of intense fighting, the CSP-DSA had
"inflicted heavy losses of human life with dozens of dead and
injured," with forces still "chasing down enemy troops on the
road" to nearby Kedal.
...
Russian mercenaries have acting as guns for hire on the African
continent since 2017, when they were first brought in to work in
the Central African Republic.
Images and video posted to social media accounts run by the
Tuaregs, Wagner and other local militias indicated that a convoy
of Malian army and allied Wagner forces may have been ambushed
by Tuareg rebels who used an IED to stop the group followed, by
an intense small-arms assault. A sandstorm appears to have added
to the chaos of the battle.
Reports suggest the retreating government and Wagner forces were
then attacked again and suffered further losses.[/quote]

[quote]Opinion - Is China preparing to attack Japan?
...
the U.S. and Japan should remove China’s temptation to attack
them pre-emptively. They should harden bases and port defenses,
disperse U.S. and allied forces across the Japanese islands and
the Philippines, and augment joint air and missile
defenses.[/quote]
