Why does Japan discriminate against Okinawa people only because they are descendants of Chinese?

The Ryukyu people are the indigenous peoples of the Ryukyu Islands, and they are often called Ryukyu people, Ryukyu people, or divided into Okinawa people, Xiandao people and Amami people according to the different regions where they live, which refers to the most populous indigenous people living in the Ryukyu Islands today. As of October 1, 25, there were less than 1, Ryukyu people living in the Ryukyu Islands, and another 2 million people lived in Japan. Ryukyu people are also one of the peoples with the longest life expectancy in the world today.

Whether Ryukyu people are a nation is controversial in East Asian countries. The Japanese and some Ryukyu people recognize Ryukyu, but treat Ryukyu as a branch of Yamato. But some Ryukyu people think they are not Japanese. Taiwan Province considers the Ryukyu people as a nation independent of Japan, and has not recognized Japan's sovereignty over the Ryukyu Islands so far. Chinese mainland officially believes that Japan is a single nation, and by default, Ryukyu belongs to Yamato of Japan. However, most folks believe that the Ryukyu people are a nation.

The native language of Ryukyu people is Ryukyu, but most Ryukyu people can't speak Ryukyu now. Nowadays, Ryukyu people speak Japanese or Okinawa (Okinawa-style Japanese).

Why Japan discriminates against Okinawa people and reveals the difference between Okinawa people and Japanese people

Because Ryukyu people once established their own independent kingdom Ryukyu Kingdom in history, some Ryukyu people refused to recognize Japan's rule over Ryukyu and demanded that Ryukyu Islands be independent from Japan.

In p>25, Lin Quanzhong, an associate professor at Ryukyu University, conducted a telephone survey of Okinawa people (Ryukyu people) over the age of 18. He collected 129 valid answers, of which 4.6% thought they were Okinawa people (Ryukyu people), not Japanese. 24.9% people expressed support for Okinawa independence, and 58.7% people expressed opposition to Okinawa independence. In 27, the same series of surveys interviewed more than 1, local people, 41.6% of whom considered themselves Okinawa, 25.5% Japanese and 29.7% both Okinawa and Japanese. 2.6% people think that Okinawa should be independent, and 64.7% people think that it should not be independent.

The largest political party supporting Ryukyu independence in Ryukyu Islands is the Jialiji Club (formerly the Ryukyu Independence Party), which was founded by Takehiko Noda, and now its leader is Takesuke Goyoshi. The ultimate goal of the party is to establish a "Ryukyu Republic". Some Ryukyu exiles in Taiwan Province also support Ryukyu independence. In 1941, Zhang Chai, a Ryukyu native in Taiwan, founded the Ryukyu Revolutionary Comrades Association, an organization that supported Ryukyu independence.

In addition to "Ryukyu * * * and the country", some Ryukyu people advocate the establishment of "Okinawa Special Autonomous Province" with "President of Okinawa Province" as the head of state based on Chinese mainland's one country, two systems model.
