If I remember correctly (according to statistics I looked up a while back), Japan actually has a more powerful and sophisticated military than countries like Britain and France, and is capable of repelling a military attack from China on its own. The only difference is that Japan calls it a "self defense force" rather than a "military".
I get the feeling that you dont know much about Japan or the East Asian region as the chances of Japan "repeating" their previous expansionist policies anytime soon are almost nil.
Furthermore, crank is right. Treating Japan and Okinawa like different countries in a POLITICAL context is not practical and it sounds like you are confusing history with politics.
