Data map: The people of Okinawa, Japan, held a rally against the construction of a US base in the ancient border area.
According to the Okinawa Defense Bureau, due to a project-related person infected with the new crown virus, the entire project was temporarily suspended from April 17 for nearly 2 months.
Regarding the decision to restart the project, Yucheng Danny told the media, "I can only say that I am extremely sorry."
The U.S. Army Futenma Base is located in Ginowan City, Okinawa, close to the residential area. It has brought noise and major safety hazards to the local people and has been widely criticized. The Japanese and American governments agreed in 1996 to relocate the Futenma base to the ancient Biye area, and summarized the base return plan in 2013.
In December 2019, the Japanese Ministry of Defense announced the revised plan for the construction of the ancient base of Biye. According to the plan, the entire project will cost about 930 billion yen (approximately RMB 59.4 billion), with a construction period of up to 12 years.
