Crossroads in the Pacific - 2012/06/16


A Crossroads in the Pacific Okinawa in a Changing World

Jun. 16, Sat. 0:10/ 4:10/ 8:10/ 12:10/ 16:10/ 20:10 (UTC)

Okinawa commemorated 40th anniversary of reversion to Japanese administration this May, but still 74% of the entire US military installations in Japan is concentrated here, and as the hub of US global strategy after the cold war, Okinawa has been the crossroad of international diplomacy and homeland security in Asia . Reports from US, China, Australia, Guam and Okinawa bring out the present and the future of wavering Okinawa between emerging China and new Asia Pacific strategy of US. Stereological and multilayered approach is taken to reveal how Okinawa is seen in global scale.

For the US, what is the significance of Okinawa, their largest hub of marine force in Asia-Pacific region? With Japan-US alliance in swaying condition, how will they see Okinawa from here on? We bring you interviews with Morton Halperin, central player of the reversion negotiation, and Joseph Nye who drew out the Japan-US strategy as a member of the policy making pivotal.
Also from China, government advisor and specialist of international strategy, Professor Zhu Feng of Beijing University shares his perspectives, and in Guam, where large social waver has been caused from US marine forces' relocation plan from Okinawa, we follow the people with concerns identifying themselves with 'Okinawa'.

Australia is now gaining greater attention regarding Pacific security and economic partnerships. What is the significance of Okinawa for them? Located beyond the range of China's ballistic missile, Darwin of Australia is suddenly in the limelight as being the new strategic hub for sea-lane surveillance from South Indo-China Sea to Indian Sea. It was the Australian government who raised the possibility of US Marine be stationed there, thinking that the strong presence of US force is essential for the security enforcement in the Pacific. At the same time, China being the largest trading partner for both US and Australia, is not an outright 'enemy' for neither of them. We dig in to catch the ulterior motive of Australia, a country developing their national strategy to become the 'new cornerstone of Pacific region' by receiving the US forces. Together, we bring you the anxious voices concerned with the rise in defense spending, and the possible risk of raising suspicion, or even more, being regarded as enemy by China and the neighboring countries.

How do the people of Okinawa view the saltation of international politics that surround themselves?
We report on the reality of the island and the conflict between the islanders divided over pros and cons, with interview of former governor of Okinawa, Mr. Masahide Ohta, and bring out the struggles of Okinawa, seeking its way from being a 'military and security crossroad' to becoming a 'crossroad of peace and intercommunication'
