At a press conference on Monday, Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara was asked about claims made in a Chinese newspaper that questioned Japan’s sovereignty over the southern island prefecture of Okinawa. “What is the government’s stance and response?” asked the journalist. Kihara responded by not responding. It was unnecessary to speak about it, he said, “as there is no doubt Okinawa is our nation’s territory.” He added that Japan will continue to refute claims that contradict facts.
