In May 2020, while China repeatedly intruded into waters around the Senkaku Islands, Japan was consumed by a controversy over extending prosecutors’ retirement age. This article criticizes the stance of Asahi Shimbun, the Constitutional Democratic Party, the Japan Federation of Bar Associations, and Japanese television media, while introducing an interview with former Trump deputy national security adviser K. T. McFarland published in Hanada on the WHO, China, and the Wuhan virus.

I learned for the first time yesterday, from the serialized column of Mr. Rui Abiru, one of the finest active journalists, that Asahi Shimbun was, after all, behind those who act against this country.
At a time like this, Tetsuro Fukuyama of the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan took the lead in launching an incomprehensible opposition to the extension of prosecutors’ retirement age, and once again began attacking the Abe administration.
I learned for the first time yesterday, from the serialized column of Mr. Rui Abiru, one of the finest active journalists, that Asahi Shimbun was, after all, behind those who act against this country.
Even so, the conduct of Asahi Shimbun is abnormal.
It was even more bizarre than what I described as a group of madmen when I read Shukan Asahi for the first time in a long while.
But last night, I suddenly thought of something.
When Asahi Shimbun and opposition parties such as the Constitutional Democratic Party attack the Abe administration by distorting or fabricating matters, it is, in the present case, when China has begun repeating territorial-water intrusions around the Senkaku Islands day after day.
This time, China has even begun chasing Japanese fishing boats that were operating there.
At the time of Moritomo and Kake, it was when North Korea was repeatedly conducting nuclear tests and launching missiles.
In particular, this time, the Constitutional Democratic Party has not raised a single voice against China’s outrageous conduct, nor has it asked any questions or made any proposals concerning Japan’s defense posture.
On the contrary, they are causing an outrageous uproar in order to divert the Japanese people’s attention away from China’s conduct.
China is desperate now.
Sooner or later, lawsuits seeking compensation for the damage suffered will be filed against China from all over the world.
China must fear more than anything that Japan will file a claim for compensation.
Moreover, Japan is the country from which they not only extracted an enormous amount of Japanese taxpayers’ money by using various fabrications as material, but also drew out technological assistance.
This Wuhan virus is not a fabrication or anything of the kind.
It is a fact in which the entire world exists as both victim and witness.
The only fabrication lies in their claims.
The fact that they are concealing the source of the virus has also been exposed to the world.
Yet what does not touch this matter at all, what does not report it at all, though I do not know about Asahi because I stopped subscribing to it, is Japanese television, beginning with NHK.
The unbelievable opposition uproar over the extension of prosecutors’ retirement age, which was something recommended by the National Personnel Authority two years ago, is clearly a Chinese operation.
The organization called the Japan Federation of Bar Associations is an organization controlled by lawyers infected with leftism.
It is by no means the opinion of all lawyers.
In the first place, decent lawyers are devoted to their daily work, and do not wish to engage in what might be called union activities.
Only those infected with leftism are different.
It is no exaggeration at all to say that China and the Korean Peninsula have nothing but propaganda.
In other words, it is no exaggeration to say that those who side with China and the Korean Peninsula also have nothing but propaganda, and in Japan’s case, the fact that siding with them is their very reason for existence should be understood by the readers of this column without my having to say anything.
Even so, Japanese television media are terrible.
Last night again, both NHK and TV Tokyo were praising Germany.
I really wonder if they are fools.
Because they are second-rate and third-rate, they truly are fools.
Last night as well, displaying their stupidity openly, they shamelessly reported such things as, “In Germany, for some people, payment was made two days after application…”
I want to say this to these utter fools.
You are the ones who made it that way.
When the government tried to introduce the My Number Card, it was you television announcers who, together with the opposition parties, piled up objections, saying it violated the Personal Information Protection Act or whatever else, and reduced it to a state that was almost meaningless in name only, you blockheads.
You complete fools, enough already!
Know this, you utter fools: it is only that you yourselves are far below even a country of pseudo-moralism like Germany, and Japan is a country several times more wonderful than Germany.
You complete fools cannot even understand that, in its response to this Wuhan virus, Japan, except for Taiwan, has shown overwhelmingly excellent results.
The following is one chapter from a special interview article with K. T. McFarland, former deputy national security adviser to President Trump, published in this month’s issue of Hanada, a monthly magazine that is required reading not only for the Japanese people but for people all over the world, under the title “Trump Will Not Forgive Xi Jinping and the WHO!”

Introductory passage omitted.
Suspending Funding to the WHO
In addition to China, the WHO is the body that has attracted distrust from the world over its response to the coronavirus.
Needless to say, its proper role is to contribute to the world so that health crises such as pandemics do not occur.
They knew of the existence of the virus early on, and if they had confirmed medical reports from China before China concealed and suppressed information, the situation would not have spread this far.
However, the WHO believed the groundless explanation of the Chinese government that this coronavirus was not transmitted from human to human.
Out of consideration for China, it ignored information sent by Taiwan about the spread of this virus and how to respond to it in order to reduce damage and mortality.
When the Chinese government hesitated to send its own scientists and doctors to Wuhan, the WHO did not even request that it force the issue.
As a result, the world lost precious time to analyze the virus and develop tests, treatments, and vaccines.
Despite that, Director-General Tedros continued praising China’s virus response, even though China had concealed information.
Even now, the WHO takes the claims of China and North Korea at face value and announces to the world that both countries’ virus responses have been a great success.
The WHO should be politically neutral and should transcend partisanship.
There are no borders when it comes to health problems such as pandemics.
For the WHO to support and incite Chinese propaganda means that we lost the opportunity to contain the virus and the opportunity to recognize the magnitude of the threat the virus poses to humanity.
Because they handled the response completely wrongly, the virus was scattered throughout the world and caused enormous damage that will be spoken of across generations.
Their responsibility can be called extremely grave.
“We contribute more than ten times as much money as China, but the WHO is very China-centric. That is not appropriate, and it is not fair to the American people.”
“Many deaths have been caused by the WHO’s mistakes. I have directed that funding be suspended while we investigate the role the WHO played in the severe mismanagement and cover-up of the spread of the new virus.”
As President Trump stated in his press conference, he will also deal resolutely with the extremely political WHO.
The rest is omitted.
