Through Kotoe Hashimoto’s essay in WiLL, this chapter discusses responsibility for the spread of the novel coronavirus, the Chinese Communist Party’s response, the damage suffered by the United States, and the coming transformation of the postwar world order. It argues that after the Westphalian, Vienna, Versailles, and Yalta-Potsdam systems, a fifth new world order will emerge, and Japan must not allow pro-China forces to survive within it.

When the “where responsibility lies” for the spread of the novel coronavirus is made clear, the postwar era in which our country has been made to suffer bitterly as a “defeated nation” will come to an end.
The third batter in this month’s issue of WiLL, the monthly magazine that all Japanese people must read, was Kotoe Hashimoto, but I had left her essay unread until today.
Its edge was truly magnificent.
When I checked her background, I found that she was a graduate of Kyushu University.
There was also a certain Aoyagi, a graduate of Kyushu University, who was an outrageous fool who inflicted enormous damage on Japan and the Japanese people.
But she is surely one of Kyushu University’s prides, alongside Michio Ezaki.
I have always told the people around me that outstanding women are far above mediocre men.
She is a woman.
Kyoko Koizumi is also a woman.
Between human excellence and human foolishness, there is a difference as great as heaven and earth.
She too is a “national treasure” as defined by Saicho, and moreover, a national treasure like a ball of fire.
On the other hand, it goes without saying that Kyoko Koizumi and others like her are the exact opposite of national treasures, treasonists.
China is the enemy!
At this moment, when the fifth new world order is about to begin, “pro-China factions” that have thrown away the concept of justice must not exist.
A world situation on the scale of a world war.
The ferocity of the novel coronavirus has not merely caused economic damage; it has also taken many human lives.
Looking back at the history of “deaths” in the United States, 53,402 people died in the First World War, 106,207 in the Asia-Pacific theater of the Second World War, 36,574 in the Korean War, and 58,220 in the Vietnam War.
And now, in the United States, 80,000 people have died from the novel coronavirus, and 1.35 million people have been infected, as of May 11.
China, the source of the infection, far from apologizing with a sincere attitude, claimed that it was America’s responsibility.
Under such circumstances, there is no doubt that a person who speaks for the hatred of those who lost family members and jobs will be chosen in the U.S. presidential election to be held this year, and will demand responsibility in an appropriate way.
The world order has undergone four transformations so far.
The first was the Westphalian system, which began in 1648 after the Thirty Years’ War in Germany.
The next was the Vienna system after the Napoleonic Wars, in 1815.
The third was the Versailles system after the First World War, in 1919.
And the fourth was the Yalta-Potsdam system after the Second World War, in 1945.
When the “where responsibility lies” for the spread of the novel coronavirus is made clear, the postwar era in which our country has been made to suffer bitterly as a “defeated nation” will come to an end.
That is because a new international alliance centered on Japan, the United States, and Britain will be launched, and the fifth new world order will surely begin.
At that time, “pro-China factions” that have thrown away the concept of justice must not exist in our country.
If there is even the slightest movement within Japan to defend those responsible for this calamity, then at the same time it will make us sense a future in which Japan once again becomes a “defeated nation.”
When I think about the future of the world from this perspective, I feel nothing but fear when I imagine what would happen if today’s Japan had a government like the one at the time of the Great East Japan Earthquake, or if a pro-China lawmaker who pretends not to see China’s inhumanity held the office of prime minister.
