A big property "developer" wants land. Its gets it via democratic procedures. Read full article if you aren't certain who the property developer is.

"The agreement" gives the "property developer workers" extraterritorial privileges: It stipulates that Japanese authorities cannot enter the property developer worksite without permission and that the property developer is not required to hand over suspected workers in criminal cases prior to indictment, and it exempts the property developer from restoring occupied land to its original state or compensating for such restoration at the time of land return to Japan

...

If governor Nakaima refuses to give a go-ahead to the construction of the contested replacement facility, the Japanese government could try changing a law that gives governors veto rights over land reclamation projects through Japan’s parliament. It approved similar changes in the 1990’s, when an Okinawan governor refused to sign off on extensions of land leases.

I asked you a question because I had read your article. If you dont want to answer queries on stuff that you post then why post in the first place? And whom are you trying to impress with your Chinese insults?
