An Essay the World Must Read— Especially the United Nations, UNESCO, and Human Rights Bodies —
An analysis revealing why Xi Jinping’s China seeks the Senkaku Islands and Okinawa, grounded in environmental collapse and the concept of “living space,” addressed especially to the UN, UNESCO, and human rights bodies.
An essay that people all over the world—and especially those at the United Nations, UNESCO, and human rights committees—should read with both eyes wide open.

Last night, I was stunned to discover another essay on pages I had previously overlooked in the January issue of the monthly magazine Hanada.
It comes from a serialized column by Yasunoshin Kudan.
This is an essay that people all over the world, and especially those at the United Nations, UNESCO, and human rights committees, should read with both eyes wide open.
Why Xi Jinping is seriously targeting the Senkaku Islands and Okinawa.
In the recent Tokyo gubernatorial election, Toshio Torigoe, endorsed by a four-party opposition alliance, referred to the security legislation and asked, “Exactly which country is going to attack Japan?”
As is well known, Torigoe suffered a crushing defeat and has now turned into political trash.
However, those who recommended that trash are still swarming in the Diet and the constitutional law community.
They turn a blind eye to provocations by China and North Korea.
In the past, Adolf Hitler made a secret pact with Joseph Stalin and partitioned Poland.
He then suddenly attacked the Soviet Union.
Regarding this “eastward expansion,” Hitler said,
“It is to expand the Lebensraum of the German people.”
Today, China’s Xi Jinping is trying to do the very same thing.
If you think this is a lie, then read the dialogue book by Naoki Hyakuta and Sekihei, The Day ‘Frogland’ Turns into Hell.
〈Sekihei: When China’s elites discuss affairs of state, the term that frequently appears is “living space.”
The Chinese nation lacks sufficient “living space.”
This is their greatest sense of crisis.
The basic elements of survival are water, air, and land, all of which have become polluted beyond recovery.
As a result, the Chinese mainland as a living space is becoming uninhabitable〉
Sekihei then presents detailed data to reveal the critical reality of pollution.
Water shortages affect 501 of the country’s 660 cities, while water pollution has contaminated 80% of groundwater sources and 45% of groundwater nationwide.
In urban areas alone, 97% of groundwater sources and 90% of surface water sources are polluted beyond control.
Air pollution is also severe.
Two-thirds of all cities suffer from serious problems, and even Chinese themselves say that pollution levels in 39 major cities, including Beijing, are “no longer fit for human habitation.”
Deaths caused by air pollution reached 916,000 in 2013, and a research team at Tsinghua University warns that 1.3 million people will die by 2030.
Lung cancer patients are increasing at an annual rate of 27%.
As for land, deforestation has reduced water retention capacity, and soil erosion has devastated 38% of the national territory.
Desertification is also advancing, with “arid regions” now covering one-third of the country’s total land area, meaning that if current trends continue, the living space for 1.4 billion people will shrink to just one-third of the remaining land.
〈Sekihei: Naturally, the Chinese people must secure living space outside their own country.
This is one of the greatest challenges confronting the world in the twenty-first century〉
In addition, China has 260 million “floating population” who lack a stable livelihood.
The Communist Party regime seized land from farmers and drove them into cities as “cheap labor.”
These “migrant workers” mainly worked at construction sites during the real estate bubble, but earned less than 40% of the wages of urban residents.
To be continued.
