Don't people in Okinawa, Japan want to be Japanese?

The aborigines of Okinawa are not Japanese Yamato people, but Ryukyu people. Okinawa was once the seat of Ryukyu Kingdom and was annexed by Japan at the end of 19. Ryukyu Kingdom is a subordinate country of China, which turned to the Qing Dynasty for help after being annexed. However, the corrupt and incompetent Qing government not only ignored it, but also "carved up" Ryukyu with Japan. Japan was divided into Okinawa today, and the Qing Dynasty was divided into several small islands such as Diaoyu Island, which is also the origin of the Diaoyu Islands dispute today. Apart from being different from the Japanese people, another important reason why Okinawa wants to be independent is that it is dissatisfied with the Japanese government's disregard for the feelings and interests of the Okinawa people. During World War II, the Japanese army carried out a "crushing" operation, forcing Okinawa "comfort women" to commit suicide. After World War II, despite the opposition of Okinawa residents, Japan insisted on stationing US troops, deploying heavy weapons, and building airports, which made the chickens and dogs restless.
