Mr. Takashi Kawamura, Mayor of Nagoya City recently repeated his remarks denying so-called "Nanking Massacre" which has then angered Chinese who in tun call for retaliatory measures against Japan while Mr. Shintaro Ishihara, Mayor of Tokyo has supported Mr. Kawamura by emphasizing that his remarks have proved to be right.
It is learned that China has fabricated and has publicized another story, in which Imperial Japanese Army massacred 260,000 Ryukuan people (=People in Okinawa).
Mr. Tang Chunfeng, said to be an expert specialized in Japan, attached to Department of Commerce, the People's Republic of China, stated in a newspaper Global Times (The Global Times ( 环球时报 is a daily Chinese tabloid under the auspices of the People's Dailynewspaper, focusing on international issues) on November 10, 2010 as follows: Imperial Japanese Army Headquarters ordered its forces in Okinawa to massacre everyone in Okinawa Prefecture and 260,000 people were massacred immediately before US forces occupied Okinawa. This massacre is next to Nanking Massacre. He then conlcudes that as independence movement has now intensified in Okinawa, China should support the movement.

According to the statistics made public by Okinawa Prefecture in 1976, a total number of victims (Japanese killed in Okinawa during the battle of Okinawa) is 188,136, out of whom 122,228 (civilians 94,000, military men 28,228) were natives of Okinawa.
The above fabrication is simply baseless and totally outrageous, clearly indicating Chinese territorial greed for Okinawa, Japan. Since 1969 when the UN Economic Commission for Asia and the Far East (ECAFE) indicated in its report the possibility of large reserves of oil in the vicinity of the Senkaku Archipelago in Japan's territorial waters near Okinawa islands, China has shown its ugly and greedy desire to expand its territories into Okinawa, Japan.
The year 1969 was the year that Japan-US negotiation had just began over the reversion of Okinawa islands to Japan. There remains a question of why ECAFE, now called ESCAP had to publish the report on the potential large reserves of oil in and around the territorial waters of Japan just in time for the start of the negotiations vital to Japan. Is it just coincidental or intentional?
