Recently, an American soldier stationed in Okinawa Prefecture was exposed to abducting and sexually assaulting a 16-year-old Japanese girl.
What is embarrassing is that the case occurred in December 2023, and the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not notify the Okinawa city government after learning about it, and even helped to hide it.
It was not until June of this year that it was exposed by the media.
In this case, it is no wonder that the governor of Okinawa is deeply angry!
The governor of Okinawa was concealed for half a year?

According to an interview with the governor of Okinawa quoted by the global network, it can be seen that his emotions are still a little excited.
According to reports, in December last year, a 25-year-old soldier stationed at a U.S. military base in Okinawa, Japan, accosted a Japanese girl in a city park and took her home to sexually assault her.
After the incident, the girl's family immediately called the police, and Naha, Japan, even detained the soldier.
According to reports, the Naha District Public Prosecutor's Office also prosecuted the soldiers involved.
Unfortunately, whether it is detention or prosecution, it is useless after all. The soldier involved was released on bail after paying the bond, and is still under the management of the US military.
In other words, whether a soldier is guilty or not is ultimately up to the US military to decide.
U.S. military representative Evans also met with Ikeda on the 27th, expressing deep regret over this.
However, Evans did not explain the circumstances of the incident, nor the punishment of the soldiers. That is, going through the motions?
Nevertheless, Ikeda submitted a protest document in the hope of preventing such incidents from happening again.
But is it useful? Only God knows.
Ikeda further criticized that the U.S. military did not contact Okinawa Prefecture after the incident.
It's hard to blame the U.S. military for this, after all, even the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs helped to hide it, and it really can't be reasonable.
In response to Ikeda's accusation that the education and management of the US military stationed in Okinawa were not adequate, Evans could only make a joke, saying that he would cooperate with the local authorities in the investigation and trial.
It's actually quite funny here, everyone has taken it back, how can it be investigated and tried?
Netizen comments are funny
It's hard to articulate these three words
Efforts were made, but in reality they were in vain
Some netizens also pointed out that Ryukyu is really not Japanese!
I really can't be punished!
呵呵
Personal opinion
It can be seen from the statement made by US military representative Evans that this is just a pure formality, and there is no "deep regret" without even an apology.
In fact, it is understandable how the United States apologized to Japan.
On the other hand, Ikeda, the governor of Okinawa, said that he was very angry and unforgivable!
The attitude is commendable, but it gives the impression of incompetence and rage.
After all, Japan's position is too embarrassing, and the US military is like a superior person in Japan, and it is not the turn of the Japanese government to control if it violates the law.
The garrison is here! In front of the fist, there is no way to reason.
This is not the first time that similar incidents have occurred, as there were also US troops raping and killing Japanese women in 2016, which caused mass protests among the Japanese people at the time.
It is estimated that this matter will not be settled in the end, what do you think?
