SUMMARY:Okinawa Governor Tamaki on the Islands' Changing Security Situation
DESCRIPTION:The East Asian region surrounding Okinawa is changing at a dizz
 ying pace\, as rising tensions in the Taiwan Strait dramatically alter the
  security situation. The revision of Japan’s Three Security Documents in
  December\, the proposed increase in its defense budget\, and the strength
 ening of the U.S.-Japanese alliance announced at the meeting between Presi
 dent Biden and Prime Minister Kishida in January all signify the intensifi
 cation of deterrence efforts in the region\, and local residents are incre
 asingly anxious about the increased military presence and the increased fr
 equency of military exercises.   On the other hand\, plans are underway f
 or the re-alignment of Marine Corps stationed in Okinawa\, and the transfe
 rring of some units based in the prefecture to Guam. Against this backdrop
 \, many voices in Okinawa are calling for persistent diplomatic efforts am
 ong East Asian states that rely as much on dialogue and reassurance as on 
 deterrence.   To discuss these issues and more\, the Quincy Institute for
  Responsible Statecraft is co-sponsoring an online and in-person event wit
 h the Okinawa Prefectural Government and George Washington University. The
  discussion will feature Okinawa Governor Yasuhiro “Denny” Tamaki\, on
  his first visit to the U.S. in three years\; and Michael Swaine\, Senior 
 Research Fellow at the Quincy Institute. Mike Mochizuki\, Associate Profes
 sor of U.S.-Japan relations at George Washington University and non-reside
 nt fellow at the Quincy Institute\, will moderate.
