#7  STAR WARS: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK = ITS A TRAP!???

* TOPIX > BLOOMBERG: CHINA QUESTIONS OKINAWA OWNERSHIP.

> RELATED FREEREPUBLIC = NOW CHINA SAYS IT OWNS OKINAWA, TOO!?
> CHINA DAILY FORUM = CHINA SHOULD "RECONSIDER" WHOM OWNS OKINAWA: ACADEMICS, from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

As said times before, China desires the Japan-controlled Senkakus + even Okinawa to help guard the Air-Sea [Space?] approaches to its future PLA Milbases on reunified TAIWAN.

Lest we fergit, in CHINA'S VIEW, "OKINAWA" = OKINAWA ARCHIPELAGO OF ISLANDS = ALL ISLANDS EMANATING FROM THE SOUTHERN END OF THE JAPANESE MAINLAND.

NOT just Okinawa proper.

* CHINA DAILY FORUM > CHINA-INDIA: CHINESE THINK-TANK WARNS OF MORE SERIOUS [post-Ladakh/Depsang Valley] INCIDENTS, as long as disputed or serious territorial issues remain permanently unresolved.

#1  Storage, or a maintenance bay?
If I remember right Iran's recent explosions were in a long-range missile munitions facility. Maybe they were reclaiming some recently emptied bunkers.
