You mean liberating! Japan is made up of only 4 islands, but they been occuping and oppressions the Ryukyu population even after losing WW2.Now this the raison d'etre(reason of being) of type 75 LHD. In emergency PLA marine has to take Ishigaki island

Yup I feel bad for the Okinawan They were loyal Chinese vassal since 5th century one of the earliest people who pledge loyalty to the Chinese empire. Yet in the 17th century they were forsaken and abandoned by the Ming because Ming was broke and occupied with defense of northern border. And after the Imjin war there is no appetite for war . Even after king of Ryu Kyu send delegation after delegation asking for help. Okinawa has close connection to Fujian province since most of the trade with Okinawa was regulated from Foochow. Many of Okinawan are descendant from Fujian people. their custom and habit is very similar to people from Fujian. There this village where they lived and most of RyuKyu official and scholar come from this village. Even after Japan invasion the okinawas still pledge loyalty to Ming and as late as Qing. They still enacted the coming of Chinese envoy to the island as folk festival until today.You mean liberating! Japan is made up of only 4 islands, but they been occuping and oppressions the Ryukyu population even after losing WW2.
They are colonists from Japan, just like the colonists in Australia or Canada, still got the English queen on the money.Funny when I was in Ishigaki in 2016 the local all spoke Japanese and seemed happy to be Japanese citizens. Certainly no evidence they wanted to be "liberated".
Not exactly still missing the most important part of LHD which is the gun shipbeautiful! looks like PLAN Is trying too hard now ! ok we get it
clearly the LHD design has been a success we have seen within a very very short period of time all the angles and combinations of load we expected to see
unlike the Type 071 LPD, seems like we have been waiting since end of the Qing dynasties
