Chinese Woman Buys Japanese Island, Plans It for Future Generations and Invites Visitors
In 2020, Zhang Shuqing, a Chinese woman from Qingdao, acquired Ie Island, a 700,000-square-meter uninhabited island in Okinawa, Japan. While ownership transfer completed in 2021, there are no immediate development plans. Zhang is considering the island as a legacy for her children. A landing strip is being built, possibly for company retreats hinting at future business potential, perhaps in tourism. The island, with clear waters and historical remnants, welcomes visitors. Its strategic location in the East China Sea, near coral reefs, adds to its appeal.
