Recently, the focus of Japan's Fumio Kishida is not on the US base, but on the development of the military field. In order to rapidly increase its military strength, Japan has not only increased its military spending, but also strengthened cooperation with the United States. However, this cooperation caused opposition from many Japanese residents, partly because of the "poison" of the United States. Recently, a blood test conducted by a private organization in Japan showed that some Japanese residents had high levels of organic pollutants in their blood. Further investigation found that most of the residents with abnormal blood test results lived near the U.S. military base in Japan. It is obvious that these resident poisoning incidents are related to the US ** base. In fact, there is other evidence to support this conclusion. Recently, internal documents of the US base show that there is a large amount of polluted water in the US base. The U.S. military base in Yokota alone, for example, contains 1.4 million litres of polluted water. If this polluted water leaks or is maliciously discharged, it will seriously harm Japan's environment. Previous news reports have pointed out that the U.S. military base in Japan has discharged large amounts of polluted water through sewers, resulting in serious contamination of groundwater sources in some parts of Japan. And now there is a large amount of polluted water in the US military base, which has attracted people's attention and the ** of Japanese residents.
U.S. military bases in Japan are usually located near densely populated cities, and their daily operations generate a lot of noise and pollution, causing great distress to local residents. These problems not only affect the daily lives of residents, but also have long-term effects on the environment and residents' health. In addition, security concerns have also plagued Japanese residents. The US military stationed in Japan enjoys certain legal privileges in Japan, including extraterritoriality. This makes it possible for U.S. military personnel to evade Japanese law when committing crimes in Japan. In recent years, there have been many cases of suspected crimes by the US military stationed in Japan, including serious crimes such as ** and hit-and-run. These cases have sparked strong resentment among the Japanese public, who believe that the presence of US military personnel threatens the security of Japanese society.
On the other hand, Japan needs to bear part of the expenses of the US military stationed in Japan, including the construction of base facilities, personnel salaries, allowances, and so on. As Japan's financial pressure increases, more and more Japanese residents feel that these expenditures have become a burden on the state and call for a reduction in funding for the US military. After the end of World War II, the United States established a number of military bases in Japan under the treaty signed between Japan and the United States. However, many Japanese residents believe that these bases symbolize Japan's defeat in World War II and the incompleteness of its sovereignty. Therefore, they hope that the United States will return these bases in order to realize the integrity of national sovereignty and prevent Japan from remaining under the control of the United States.
In addition, Japanese residents are also concerned about the dispersion of US military bases in Japan and the aging of facilities. The United States and Japan have been struggling with base relocation, however, the relocation of the base involves complex issues such as land acquisition, facility construction, and environmental pollution, which has put tremendous pressure on local residents. Japanese residents fear that the relocation of the base will lead to more military activity, which will seriously affect their lives.
In recent years, anti-American sentiment in Japan has gradually increased. Many residents believe that the US military presence in Japan is a violation of Japan's sovereignty and an increase in regional tensions. They advocate reducing the size of US military bases in order to achieve Japan's independence in terms of *** and defense. They believe that there is no benefit in overly close relations between Japan and the United States, because the United States sees Japan as a tool that threatens its security. If Russia deems the threat too great, it may target Japan and draw Japan into the conflict. Therefore, the inhabitants of Japan believe that the reduction of US military bases is a necessary measure to maintain the sovereignty of the United States.
In Japan, the presence of US military bases in Japan raises a number of questions and causes discontent among the Japanese population. The correlation between the problem of excessive organic pollutants in the blood of Japanese residents and the environmental pollution near US military bases has become increasingly prominent, which has increased people's attention to the pollution problem of military bases. In addition, the noise and pollution caused by the day-to-day operation of the base, as well as the safety of US military personnel, are also a serious concern for local residents. The issue of the expenditure of the US military stationed in Japan borne by Japan has also triggered reflection and reflection among residents. For Japanese residents, U.S. military bases in Japan not only pose a threat to Japan's environment and security, but also have a negative impact on the integrity of national sovereignty. Therefore, they hope to achieve Japan's independence in terms of defense and reduce dependence on the US military through measures such as reducing the size of the base.
