The Real Problem Lies in Western Academia — Scholars Who Enable China’s Historical Warfare Against Japan
China has launched a full-scale historical warfare campaign against Japan.
At its core are not only domestic propagandists, but also scholars affiliated with Western institutions such as the University of British Columbia, the University of Hong Kong, and the University of Oxford—many of whom are ethnically Chinese or financially linked to the Chinese state.
This article exposes how fabricated comfort women narratives are legitimized under the guise of academia and questions whether Japan’s Foreign Ministry truly understands the severity of this campaign.
The problem lies with the scholars at the University of British Columbia, the University of Hong Kong, and the University of Oxford.

The following is a continuation of the previous chapter.
This is an article I sent out to the world on 2016-05-03, titled “The Bottomless Dark Emotions Cultivated by Anti-Japanese Education Among the Chinese, and the Ferocity of the Historical Warfare Born from Them.”
What follows continues the painstaking work by Yoshiko Sakurai published on the front page of the Sankei Shimbun yesterday.
Sections marked with asterisks are my own.
However, this is only the beginning.
In the same book, Su claims to have recorded testimonies from 102 Chinese comfort women, asserting that 87 of them were “directly” abducted by the Japanese military.
The book repeatedly alleges that the total number of comfort women was about 400,000, that at least half were Chinese, and that the Japanese military itself abducted the majority of Chinese comfort women.
It accuses the Japanese government of responsibility, claiming that direct military involvement and brutal treatment of women were defining characteristics of the Japanese army in China.
Su also serves as director of the Chinese Comfort Women Research Center at Shanghai University.
Based on statistics from this center, reports have even claimed that 75 percent of comfort women were ravaged by the Japanese military and died, amounting to 300,000 victims—75 percent of 400,000.
How can a country with a tradition of bottomless evil and plausible lies, combined with the Communist Party’s one-party dictatorship that treats black as white and white as black as its very essence, not only be one of the most unparalleled lying states in history, but also produce individuals who, even if they possess “three thousand layers of thick skin,” can call themselves scholars and spread such transparent falsehoods without shame.
There is little point in directing this question at them.
The real problem lies with the scholars at the University of British Columbia, the University of Hong Kong, and the University of Oxford.
Those involved are likely almost entirely ethnically Chinese scholars or those receiving funding from China.
Takahashi has pointed out that the comfort women research conducted by this center is funded by the Chinese government, and it is fair to say that the Chinese state is backing Su and others’ fabrications from behind the scenes.
China has launched a full-scale historical warfare campaign against Japan.
Do the Japanese people, and especially the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, truly recognize the bottomless dark emotions cultivated by anti-Japanese education in China, and the ferocity of the historical warfare that arises from them.
