The Message of the “OKINAWA DIALOGUE PROJECT”________________________________________
Jan/21/2024
“OKINAWA DIALOGUE PROJECT to Prevent a Taiwan Contingency”
What we learned
1. Through this project we realized and confirmed the importance of the “dialogue.” Direct communication through “dialogue” with the people from Mainland China(China) and Taiwan became our hope for peace. It has started dialogues between conservatives and reformists, elderly and youth. We want to continue to share the importance of dialogue in every generation and aspect. Not only do we ask the national leaders to improve the relationship between countries by full use of dialogue, but we as citizens also spread and deepen the exchange and dialogue between the countries beyond the borders.
2. Nansei Islands including Okinawa and Taiwan are places where many people from the children to the elders enjoy their daily lives with their rich history and culture. We should not regard these islands where people live from a viewpoint of military strategy. We should not make these islands US and Japan’s military attack bases. We should not make Okinawa a “sacrificial lamb” again.
3. Due to the change in the situation this year, what we call “the Taiwan Contingency” (armed conflict) is not likely to occur in the short term. No nation and no country wants a war or an armed conflict in this region. There exists a US-China conflict in the backdrop of the crisis. Both the US and China should avoid the exchange actions that heighten the tension. We call for serious and continuous dialogue and diplomacy between the US and China, as well as between Japan and China, which should be continued.
4. It is important for peace in this region that the US and Japan should keep the “One China” policy which was promised in the course of normalization of diplomatic relations with China. Particularly, Japan should reconfirm and stand by the four basic agreements between Japan and China, such as the Japan-China Joint Communique and Japan-China Treaty of Peace and Friendship.
5. As for the relationship between China and Taiwan, we have no way but to leave it to these two and we expect the matter to be settled through dialogue between them.
6, East Asia, long regarded as a region of armed conflict, can be a place where we enjoy economic and cultural exchange and prosperity with a change of viewpoint. We should make efforts to change this crisis to an opportunity with this view.
7, We believe that Okinawa’s regional diplomacy works to facilitate peace in East Asia. We strongly support it and cooperate with it as citizens of Okinawa.
8, In any sense, war is not the answer. War does not solve any problems. We strongly deny war.
We add the following opinions heard in the symposium of the project.
1, There was an opinion that against China, armed preparation is needed together with works of diplomacy. It’s a view of what we call “deterrence theory.” How should we think of a deterrent? We did not conclude it but decided to keep it as a topic to discuss continuously.
2. As for the “Taiwan Contingency”, there were two different views. One was the situation defined by China’s threat of armed invasion in the unification policy, and another was the situation defined by the US’s provocative policy of trying to weaken China’s power. There was also an opinion that China’s unification with Taiwan would be through a peaceful process and the “Taiwan Contingency” is an idea of US elites, an idea centering on military power. We concluded that regardless of which is right, it is important to avoid a war, the use of arms, by suppressing acts of inciting threats.
3. There was an idea to set up a regional security system such as ASEAN or “Six-party talks.” However, China rejects the internationalization of the problem between China and Taiwan. Therefore, we decided to leave it to these two and place our hope in their dialogue.
4 To the “Okinawa dialogue project,” from outside, through media and in SNS, some made an assumption and labeled us Pro-Chinese. We regard such acts as having no relation to the objective of the project aiming to avoid a “Taiwan Contingency.” To realize our aim, we think it important to have a dialogue with every person regardless of his/her nationality and ideology.

沖繩對話項目這一年活動的成果歸納與對外?明
2024 年 1 月 21 日
活動全稱:旨在不讓“台灣有事”發生的沖繩對話項目
一,通過“對話”的實施,我們確認了“對話”的重要性。與台灣和大陸人士的直接對話,成為促進和平的希望之光。也為保守與革新、老年人與年輕一代之間的對話打開了大門。
我們願今後繼續分享在各種形式下與各方面對話的重要性,併不斷擴大這樣的交流。我們不僅僅期待國家領導人之間的對話,還希望促進民?之間跨國界的廣汎、深入的交流與對話。
二,包括沖繩在?的南西群島和台灣,有著?史文化的積?,也有著許多民?從小孩到老人,在這裡過著日常生活。
我們認為,不應該用軍事戰略的觀念來定位這些人們居住的島嶼。這些島嶼決不能被用作(日本和美國的)軍事據點或攻?基地,決不能再讓它們成為(二戰時那樣的)“犧牲品”。
三,從這一年的變化來看,短期?不太可能出現所謂的“台灣有事”(圍繞台灣的武裝衝突)。 該地區所有國家和人民都不希望發生武裝衝突或戰爭。出現危機的一大背景顯然就是美國和中國之間的關係緊張,雙方都應避免採取可能加劇緊張局勢的行動。我們呼?美國和中國、日本和中國之間繼續進行認真的對話和外交。
四,美日兩國恪守在與中国政府邦交正常化進程中承諾的 “一個中國”政策,這對於本地區和平至關重要。尤其是日本應該重申併遵守《日中聯合聲明》、《日中和平友好條約》等堪稱日中關係基礎的四個文件。
五,關於“兩岸”(中國大陸和台灣)的關係,我們認為?能交給“兩岸”本身,別無選擇。我們期待著兩岸的對話。
六,被認為是軍事衝突熱點的該地區,即包括沖繩、台灣和中國大陸在?的東亞地區,換個角度來看,它又是全球範圍?經濟交流最活躍、最具有潛力實現繁榮的地區。我們不能忽視這一大局,要努力化危為機。
七,我們認為沖繩縣的“地區外交”對促進東亞和平具有重要作用。對此堅決贊成,併願意與民?一起聲援和支持。
八,戰爭在任何意義上都不應該成為選擇。戰爭解決不了任何問題。我們拒?戰爭。
對話項目的幾場研討會上還出現了以下觀點,在此附記。
1,對於中國,有一種觀點認為,除了外交之外還要有“準備”,其中包括需要所謂的“威脅”。在這裡,我們不會就如何理解“威脅”得出任何結論,願意繼續將其作為對話題目進行討論。
2,關於所謂“台灣有事”,究竟是“基於中國統一政策的武裝入侵”還是“基於美國削弱中國政策的挑釁”,對此有爭議。也有觀點認為,中國大陸的統一台灣政策的基礎是和平統一,“台灣有事”論是來自於美國精英和軍方的實力主義的思考方式。我們認為,與其?是誰的問題,更應該認識到,抑制相互施壓,避免使用武力,避免戰爭才是最重要的。
3,有觀點認為東亞應建立類似以前的“六方會談”或東盟那樣的地區安全機制。但大陸方面明確拒?將“兩岸”問題國際化。在此,我們把兩岸之間的問題留給雙方解決,期待雙方的對話。
4,對話項目被“場外”的部分媒體和網絡貼上了“親中”的標籤。我們認為,這與防止“台灣有事”的主題毫無關係。為了不讓“台灣有事”發髮生,我們願意與中國大陸對話,與美國對話,與任何人對話。
