A statement reported by The Nikkei inadvertently revealed how China has systematically disparaged Japan across international forums.
This essay argues that the perpetrators themselves exposed their methods—and that the Japanese public must recognize it.

In television crime dramas, it is often said that criminals always leave traces behind, or return to the scene of the crime.
The remarks by a Chinese vice foreign minister, reported in today’s The Nikkei article titled “Criticism Redirected at Japan” with the subtitle “China’s Aim to Deflect Domestic Dissatisfaction,” revealed in full how they have disparaged Japan within international forums such as the United Nations and UNESCO, as well as in local legislatures in the United States.
In other words, the Japanese people must recognize that the criminals themselves have revealed their own methods.
Their propaganda strategy units are constantly active in this manner.
It is inconceivable that they would carry out no activities whatsoever toward Asahi Shimbun or the so-called cultural figures who align with it.
