Full title: “China – Ryukyu Relations: presentation at University of Hawaii at Manoa [29 April 2020]”
Preface by Kajiwara: China and Loochoo (Okinawa) have had friendly relations since time immemorial and formal relations since the Ming Dynasty. Yet this relationship is today often misunderstood by both scholars and the public alike. Learn the truth about the historic China-Loochoo relationship from Loochooans (Okinawans). Done as part of the Master of Asian International Affairs, part of the Asian Studies program, at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
I really appreciate this introduction to Liuchiu-China relations; thanks to Rob for recounting some history that demands more attention and Jim for posting it.
Guburii sabitan (you’re welcome), and niffee debiru (thank you) for the kind words. Kajiwara describes himself as “both Native Okinawan and a Hawaiian national.” Subscribe to his YouTube channel and log in to his website. -Jim
