Nobel laureate Oe criticizes base relocation plan

Noble laureate for literature Kenzaburo Oe gives a lecture in Naha, the capital of Japan's southernmost island prefecture of Okinawa, on Nov. 23, 2015. On a plan to relocate a key U.S. military base within the prefecture, Oe said it will not lead to a resolution of the base issue in Okinawa, which hosts the bulk of U.S. forces in Japan.
