Grounded in extensive fieldwork across China, this essay examines how Asahi Shimbun amplified anti-Japan propaganda and shaped Japanese politics and public opinion for decades. It links historical misinformation to today’s global instability and Japan’s demand for strong governance.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that there was not a single Japanese citizen who was not influenced by this lie.

As the result of fieldwork conducted over several years covering almost all provinces of China, he concluded that the essence of the country called China was a nation of “plausible lies” and “bottomless evil.”

To that tradition was added the evil of one-party communist dictatorship.
Although, by the laws of history, this one-party communist dictatorship is approaching its end, it is also a historical fact that it might have collapsed much earlier.

That it was the Asahi Shimbun Company which played a major role in prolonging their life and creating the conditions for their present economic presence is now a historical fact.

In the anti-Japan propaganda typified by the Nanjing Massacre, the Asahi Shimbun Company elevated a man such as Katsuichi Honda into a major journalist and carried his banner.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that there was not a single Japanese citizen who was not influenced by this lie.

As a result, Japan came to provide China with the largest financial aid and technological assistance in human history.

After all, until August of the year before last, people of every sector and stratum throughout Japan—the very core of the nation—were not only subscribing to the Asahi Shimbun in trust, but reading it carefully.

It goes without saying that for countries possessing a CIA or an FBI, considering the use of the Asahi Shimbun Company was entirely natural.

The numerous articles produced by the Asahi Shimbun Company, which fell headlong into their strategies, prove this point.

These one-party communist dictators of China have, unbelievably, begun to plot world domination.
Not only are they creating conflicts around the globe—such as in the South China Sea, the Senkaku Islands, and by promoting construction of the Nicaragua Canal intended to diminish the role of the Panama Canal—but they have also begun to challenge the United States.

Do they seriously believe that the world would accept or welcome one-party communist dictatorship.

In any case, they have begun to engage in actions tantamount to madness.

Perhaps for that very reason, as China undertook these actions, the world simultaneously became extremely unstable.

Amid this extremely unstable and dangerous situation, the majority of the Japanese people are seeking a more stable government.
That result is reflected in the pre-election polling for the House of Councillors, showing the ruling parties’ overwhelming advantage.

Without creating an absolutely stable and strong government, it is impossible to deal with this political and economic situation.

That is what many Japanese citizens with sound and natural minds are thinking.

Of course, the appalling state of the parties that call themselves the opposition may also be accelerating this trend.

Yet just a few days ago, the Asahi Shimbun Company ran a large front-page headline claiming that pro-constitutional-revision forces were gaining momentum beyond two-thirds.

This article proves the Asahi Shimbun’s childishness and, precisely because of that, its persistent maliciousness.

Not only does it fail to realize that it is entirely natural for many Japanese people to believe that, in order to cope with today’s extremely unstable and dangerous international political situation, a stronger and more stable government with a firm foundation is necessary,

but perhaps, without understanding anything at all, it is making a death-throes struggle against the end of its own distorted ideology.

The Asahi Shimbun Company has thus begun to affix the label “pro-constitutional-revision forces” to the perfectly natural thinking of the Japanese people.

To think that Japan’s seventy postwar years were carried out in such childishness,

to think that seventy postwar years passed in this manner, is chilling.

As a result, the bleak landscape of today’s world has spread before us.

They may not realize it, but what created this were the Asahi Shimbun Company, the so-called cultural figures who synchronized with it, and the rulers of countries of “bottomless evil” and “plausible lies” who have manipulated them.

They are among the greatest villains in human history, having halted the progress of the “Turntable of Civilization.”

The crimes of the villains who, at the time of publication of my “Turntable of Civilization,” committed unbelievable obstruction of business, defamation, and other online slander were far deeper and heavier than what the detectives who worked properly for a year and a half, or the prosecutors who were utterly useless, imagined.

They want, by any means, to prevent an overwhelming victory by the ruling parties.
That is, they want to weaken Japanese politics.
That is the reporting of the Asahi Shimbun Company.
All Japanese citizens, young and old, must engrave in their minds the fact that the only ones who rejoice in Japan having weak governments, weak politics, and dysfunctional governance as it did before Prime Minister Abe are the Asahi Shimbun Company, the Mainichi and Tokyo newspapers that follow it, the one-party communist dictators of China, and the totalitarians of South Korea.

Many readers and viewers should know that the Asahi Shimbun and those who align with it have long kept saying, “Learn from Germany.”

Chancellor Merkel served ten years in office, and her predecessor Kohl continued as chancellor for sixteen years.

Yet most of those people are surely unaware of this fact.

The Asahi Shimbun Company and its sympathizers should first and foremost learn from the examples of these two leaders.

Otherwise, their constant refrain of “Learn from Germany” merely proves that they were advocates for the totalitarian states of South Korea and China, driven by distorted ideology and a desire to keep Japan in a position of political imprisonment, to make Japan a nation equally guilty of Nazi crimes, to weaken Japan politically and extort money economically whenever convenient.

To be continued.
