Alarmed by Chinese buyers quietly snapping up territory near its military hubs, Japan is launching an emergency nationwide audit of 13,000 uninhabited islands to prevent a national security disaster. For the first time in history, the Japanese government will systematically investigate the ownership of these remote landmasses, with plans to nationalize those found to be leaderless or abandoned. This defensive move follows highly controversial land acquisitions by Chinese nationals in strategic maritime zones, including outposts in Okinawa and Yamaguchi Prefecture. With regional military tensions actively worsening, Tokyo fears these unmonitored shores could easily be exploited by foreign intelligence or international crime networks. The scale of Japan's administrative blind spot is immense. While advanced mapping recently revealed the nation actually holds 14,125 islands, more than 13,400 of these uninhabited landmasses have spent decades completely unmanaged. The state historically focused its energy on its 417 inhabited islands and 273 critical border territories. However, leaving thousands of isolated shores entirely exposed has become a glaring vulnerability that Japan is now moving aggressively to close. #Japan #China #NationalSecurity #Geopolitics #Okinawa #TerritorialDispute #AsiaNews

Neither Tristan nor Andrew Tate immediately responded to a request for comment from NTD News, sister media of The Epoch Times. The UK charges stem from alleged offenses that occurred between 2012 and 2015, and were investigated by Bedfordshire Police. (Article continues in 🔗)
