Yoshiko Sakurai examines the Chinese Communist Party’s lockdown of Wuhan, concealment of information, questionable death tolls, and propaganda claiming that the Wuhan virus came from the U.S. military, exposing China’s revisionism that turns white into black and black into white, as well as the deep wounds Japan has suffered in the historical information war.

In Wuhan and other major cities as well, while causing many deaths, the Chinese Communist Party suppressed the fury of the virus in its own way, but the reality of that was the abandonment of its people.
The following is a continuation of the previous chapter.
Turning white into black, and black into white
Xi’s second objective was achieved when, shortly after 2 a.m. on January 23, the lockdown of Wuhan was suddenly declared.
However, by the time the lockdown began, five million people had already left Wuhan, which later became the cause of the pandemic that spread throughout the world.
In Wuhan, by Xi’s order, all movement of people was stopped, and foreign media were excluded.
By also preventing Chinese media from reporting the truth, the Chinese Communist Party thoroughly concealed information.
In Wuhan and other major cities as well, while causing many deaths, the Chinese Communist Party suppressed the fury of the virus in its own way, but the reality of that was the abandonment of its people.
On April 11, the Chinese government announced that there were 81,953 infections and 3,339 deaths from the Wuhan virus, but among those who know China well, some point out that the actual number of infections and deaths is at least one digit, indeed two digits, greater.
Amid these circumstances, the Chinese government quickly declared that the virus problem had come to an end, and on March 16 began reopening many factories.
Having swiftly resumed production activities, they are now using the Wuhan virus problem in reverse, full of ambition to replace the United States as the leader of the world.
The lies China tells for that purpose are grand in scale.
Literally, it calls white black and black white.
China, the very country that concealed the outbreak of the virus in its early stage and spread it to the world, began saying, under the gaze of the whole world, that the Wuhan virus had been brought into China by U.S. military personnel.
The whole world must have been astonished.
Immediately, U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo and President Trump counterattacked with expressions such as “Wuhan virus” and “Chinese virus.”
People who feel affinity toward China criticized Trump, saying that calling it the “Chinese virus” leads to racial discrimination, but they are attacking the wrong target.
They should criticize China for launching an unreasonable attack on the United States.
We must not show indulgence toward China’s methods, toward the “revisionism” at which China excels.
Even so, the whole world knows that the virus calamity now unfolding before our eyes began in Wuhan.
And yet, their extraordinary lie that it came from the United States, their mentality, and their persistence.
We must not forget the fearfulness of China.
Japan has suffered deep wounds from China’s lies and revisionism.
It has been subjected to the spreading of lies of the worst possible kind, such as “the Nanjing Massacre,” “the massacre of 300,000 people,” “the forced taking away of comfort women,” “sex slaves,” and “the killing of 300,000 comfort women just before the end of the war.”
Shamefully, our country, under diplomacy led by the pro-China faction, has not lodged a proper protest against China.
As a result, Japan has continued to this day to be falsely accused by history.
