The article reflects on the broader implications of international education, technology competition, and information warfare.

February 1, 2019.
The foolishness of the United States had reached its extreme, continuing to say truly absurd things such as that the Nanjing Massacre was a historical fact, led by the New York Times, and even treating Japan as a criminal nation while favoring China.

He began talking about a program he had watched the other day after watching NHK’s weather forecast.
It was about China’s “Sea Turtle Strategy,” which the Chinese government is promoting nationwide.
