Ryukyu people's fight against occupation by USA (digest)

《Renmin Ribao》 (1953.01.08)  The Ryukyu(*ancient name of Okinawa) Islands lie scattered on the sea between the Northeast of Taiwan of our State (note: China; same in the following text) and the Southwest of Kyushu, Japan.

The Ryukyu Islands stretch over 1,000 kilometers, inside of which is our East China Sea (the East Sea in Chinese) and outside of which is the high seas of the Pacific Ocean.
