Japan has lodged a diplomatic protest with China over an article in a state-run publication that challenged Japan’s ownership of Okinawa, home to major US bases, officials said on Thursday.
The People’s Daily, the mouthpiece of the ruling Communist Party, on Wednesday published a call for a review of Japan’s sovereignty over Okinawa, suggesting that Beijing may be the rightful owner.
The call came as the two countries are already at loggerheads over islands in the East China Sea. Reported by S.China Morning Post 3 hours ago.
