I once asked who owns Okinawa? That was in reference to the large number of U.S. military bases there and the amount of land they occupy. But I was wrong.
You see last week two Chinese academics associated with China's top think tank liad claim to Okinawa because as an independent kingdom they once paid tribute to the Ming dynasty. They were followed my a general in the Peoples Liberation Army also laying claim to them because they were occupied by the United States following World War II and the U.S. government had no right to return them to Japanese control because they were occupied territory.
So, two clowns working for the Bozo Institute of Stupidity publish an article in the Peoples Daily laying claim to Okinawa because their puppet masters tell them too. In the firm belief that with the weight of the mighty Bozo Institute of Stupidity behind them the Japanese would cave on the real issue that of the Senkaku islands thus happily returning them to Chinese control.
Then along comes General Disaster who talking out of his rather large posterior decides China owns the Senkaku islands because they were once occupied by a decadent western power hell bent on world domination.
Instead Japan tells them all to get stuffed.

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.”
