The following ad was run on Hong Kong Apple Daily on September 18th, which claims that Japanese people are the descendants of the people who went to Japan in search of the immorality herb for Qinshihuangdi 2200 years ago, making them Chinese people. The ad urges Okinawans to break free from Japan to return to the motherland China and that the Chinese people would support their independence movement.
Of course Japanese are dismayed and insulted by the news that the Chinese now claim Japanese to be Chinese people too, since calling a Japanese person "Chinese" is a personal insult in Japan.
