By closely watching NHK News, the author concludes that NHK’s reporting on Onaga reflects structural distortions influenced by postwar occupation policies, Asahi-style ideology, and possible Chinese and Korean information operations, questioning whose interests the national broadcaster truly serves.

NHK’s reporting on Onaga is of a nature that makes one ask which country’s reporting this actually is.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that recently I watch only NHK News, and precisely for that reason, there are things I have come to understand.
That NHK’s News Production Bureau has long been heavily influenced by Asahi Shimbun, and that amid the postwar chaos, under GHQ’s Japan-as-the-villain narrative, people from the Korean Peninsula and China took advantage of the occupation policies to enter the media led by NHK in large numbers, and were subsequently favored.
These factors alone are sufficient to make one certain that NHK has become a target of information operations conducted by China and South Korea, countries that possess intelligence agencies operating with relentless intensity day and night.
China is a one-party communist dictatorship, and South Korea, as already stated, is in reality a Nazism-like state, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the raison d’être of these countries lies not in any philosophy of humanity but in propaganda for maintaining their regimes and advancing their national interests.
For such intelligence agencies, manipulating an organization filled with pseudo-moralism and dominated in key positions by holders of leftist ideology is as easy as twisting a baby’s arm.
NHK’s reporting on Onaga is, in essence, reporting that makes one wonder which country it belongs to.
To be continued.
