On January 7, 2022, the foreign ministers and defense ministers of the United States and Japan held a meeting of the "Security Consultative Committee" (2+2), signed a new defense agreement, and discussed "strengthening the posture of the Southwest Islands Self-Defense Force and increasing the joint military facilities of Japan and the United States. Agree on the extent of use.

This is easy to think of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces missile base that is under construction on Ishigaki Island, which belongs to Okinawa Prefecture. According to the plan of the Ministry of Defense of Japan, before the end of 2022, the missile force of the Ground Self-Defense Force will be deployed on Ishigaki Island, with a scale of about 500 to 600 people. This means that Japan and the United States can jointly use various military bases in Okinawa Prefecture.

The local "Ryukyu Shimbun" commented that the strategy of the US military and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces anticipating "something in Taiwan" to conduct joint operations is becoming more and more clear. The Japanese people are full of worries about the Japanese government's attempt to use the "first island chain" to contain China's small abacus. In the opinion of Chinese scholars, the "island chain containment method" is already outdated, and Japan's approach will also be asking for trouble.

In fact, the voices of the local people on Ishigaki Island against the military deployment have always existed. Compared with other prefectures and cities in Japan, the anti-war awareness in Okinawa is stronger, especially the voice of resisting the re-militarization of the Ryukyu Islands is very high. In the local newspapers "Ryukyu Shimpo" and "Okinawa Times", voices against the construction of the Self-Defense Forces base on Ishigaki Island have been heard one after another, and an organization called "Citizens Liaison Committee Against the Establishment of Military Bases on Ishigaki Island" has held parades and petitions many times. Signature Movement.

A young man on Ishigaki Island expressed great concern about this: "The residents of the island are worried about 'whether it is necessary to fight against China for the Diaoyu Islands and the situation in the Taiwan Strait. To destroy it, do we make sacrifices for the so-called national interests? The government has deployed military arrangements in Ishigaki Island, Miyako Island, Yonaguni Island, etc., and even wants to be involved in the Taiwan Strait crisis, what is it for?"

By deploying missiles on important islands, and then helping the U.S. military to disperse and deploy its own military forces, Japan has made it clear that it is willing to be the "accomplice" of the United States.

On the other hand, we have to take a strong countermeasure and let Japan also weigh in. If we are determined to recover Taiwan, this is a major event related to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. These missiles from Japan will not stop us. If Japan is on Ishigaki Island If the missiles on the plane fired, it meant that Japan was involved in the war.
