If Japan Wants to Prevent Air Pollution, It Should Tell China to “Do Something About It” — The Folly of an NHK That Cannot Say Even This
Japan has made exceptional efforts among developed nations to promote cleaner energy and improve air quality, while severe PM2.5 pollution has been closely associated with pollutants arriving from mainland China.
This article sharply criticizes NHK for repeatedly implying that Japan is principally responsible for global warming and air pollution while failing to demand accountability from China.

It is no exaggeration whatsoever to say that, if Japan wishes to prevent air pollution, all it needs to do is tell China, “Do something about it.”
There is no state broadcaster more foolish or absurd than NHK.
The people who control the news division of this broadcaster are once again reporting tonight as though Japan were responsible for causing global warming.
The truth is precisely the opposite.
Among the developed nations, there is no country that has worked harder than Japan to promote clean energy and, as a result, achieved such clean air.
Japan is struck by severe air pollution and PM2.5 only when extraordinarily polluted air arrives from China.
It is no exaggeration whatsoever to say that, if Japan wishes to prevent air pollution, all it needs to do is tell China, “Do something about it.”
NHK, which cannot utter even such a simple truth, is effectively a Chinese state broadcaster.
In other words, Japan behaves like a complete fool in its dealings with China.
The special dialogue entitled “Know the True Nature of the Chinese,” published in this month’s issue of the monthly magazine WiLL, features Masayuki Takayama, a journalist without equal in the postwar world, and Tadanobu Bando, a former Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department detective and interpreter-investigator.
It is essential reading not only for the Japanese people but also for people throughout the world.
The Japanese people must go to their nearest bookstore tomorrow and purchase a copy.
