Some Yonaguni residents oppose building of GSDF facility
YONAGUNI, Japan - Some residents of Yonaguni Island, the westernmost Japanese island near a group of islands whose ownership is contested by China, voice opposition to the construction of a facility for a coastal surveillance unit of the Ground Self-Defense Force near the groundbreaking ceremony venue on the island on April 19, 2014. The residents are concerned that because of the GSDF presence only about 150 kilometers north of the Japanese-administered Senkaku Islands, the island could become a target in times of contingency involving Japan and China.
