At the ASEAN meeting, China’s Foreign Minister openly attacked Japan’s Foreign Minister for refusing to make China-pleasing remarks.
NHK broadcast China’s insults at length while cutting off Japan’s legitimate rebuttal.
This chapter exposes the intent behind that manipulation.

The Chinese Foreign Minister openly attacked the fact that Japan’s Foreign Minister did not make China-appeasing remarks like those of media outlets such as Asahi Shimbun.

The NHK program Watch 9 the night before last was also extremely strange.
Taro Kono, the son of Yohei Kono, headed to the ASEAN meeting, which was his first task after assuming the post of Foreign Minister.
As for China’s Foreign Minister Wang, I have stated before that I consider him the most pitiful person in the world, and at the same time, the lowest person in the world.
That is because, as a bureaucrat of a one-party communist dictatorship, his job is to keep saying that black is white and white is black, which makes him a truly pitiable human being.
This Chinese Foreign Minister Wang and Foreign Minister Kono held a Japan-China foreign ministers’ meeting using the ASEAN framework.
Minister Wang spoke first.
Watch 9 broadcast this astonishingly at great length, and the reason was probably that Wang’s remarks aligned perfectly with their own thinking.
His remarks were, in fact, utterly rude.
“…You are the son of a wonderful person, and we had high expectations. …However, we are deeply disappointed by the remarks you made at your press conference.”
Minister Wang attacked the fact that Japan’s Foreign Minister did not make China-fawning remarks like those of media such as Asahi Shimbun.
These were words that should never have been said to the Foreign Minister of Japan, which is in substance still the world’s second-largest economic power and which, at the time of the conclusion of the Japan-China Treaty of Peace and Friendship, provided the largest economic and technological assistance in human history and thereby helped build today’s China.
Even more so when they came from the Foreign Minister of a country whose official organ declared, at the time of Liu Xiaobo’s death, “outsiders should mind their own business.”
Now we come to the main point.
In response to these outrageously rude remarks by Minister Wang, all discerning observers must have been holding their breath to see how Taro Kono would reply.
At that moment, Kono Taro proved, through an extremely proper rebuttal directed at Minister Wang, that Prime Minister Abe had carefully judged his character in appointing him to the crucial post of Foreign Minister.
“China, as a major power, must behave in a more mature manner.”
And yet.
NHK suddenly panicked and had Kuwako cut off what followed.
“We have breaking news.”
But it was nothing more than an ordinary report about a typhoon.
In order to convey to the now infantilized and foolish Japanese public what this scene truly meant, I realized that it was strikingly similar to a scene from the past.
When Asahi Shimbun began its fabricated reporting on so-called comfort women, the Song Du-hoe simultaneously manipulated a housewife in Oita to begin searching for comfort women within South Korea, and North Korean spies immediately jumped on the opportunity.
Mizuho Fukushima and others also rushed in, and North Korea-affiliated groups gathered comfort women in advance, coached them on what to say, and held an event.
When a Southeast Asian woman who took the stage at some point said, “The Japanese military treated us very well…,” speaking the truth that was completely different from what they had been instructed to say, Fukushima and the others panicked, cut the power at the venue, turned off the microphones, and silenced her.
The Watch 9 broadcast the night before last was exactly the same as the conduct of Fukushima and the others at that time.
In other words, the reason they broadcast Minister Wang’s rude remarks endlessly was that those who control NHK’s news department—who act in complete alignment with Asahi Shimbun in attacking the Abe administration—also wished Taro Kono to follow his father Yohei Kono’s so-called “Kono Statement.”
However, because they could not act as blatantly as Asahi Shimbun, they did so in a more insidious manner, though in some respects even more maliciously.
Taro Kono, in a manner befitting Japan’s 2,600-year history that has produced countless great figures, delivered the genuine and correct argument, completely contrary to their intentions.
At the very moment when everyone wanted to hear more, wanted him to strike China even harder, NHK panicked and abruptly cut away from the screen.
