The Chinese Communist Party’s Influence Operations Against Japan: A Lawmaker’s Wife’s Liver Transplant, Honey Traps, and the Reality of Political Penetration
This passage discusses the reality of the Chinese Communist Party’s influence operations targeting Japan’s political world, media, and public opinion.
Through cases such as a lawmaker’s wife receiving a liver transplant in China, honey traps involving Chinese female interpreters, and the spread of Chinese-language propaganda media in Japanese, it accuses the CCP of having deeply penetrated Japan as a target of political manipulation.

A Chinese man visited the Diet members’ office building and urged the lawmaker to have his wife undergo a liver transplant at a hospital in China.
Through this man’s arrangement, the lawmaker’s wife safely underwent surgery at a Chinese military hospital and recovered.
This is the chapter I published on 2018-04-24 under the title, “At the end of the article it was written, ‘It is whispered that, because of his wife, that先生 can no longer hold his head high before China.’”
What follows is an article I found on the internet just now.

Online propaganda, money, and beautiful women.
Japan too is being made to dance by the Chinese Communist Party’s shameless influence operations.
In recent years, Japanese-language versions of Communist Party organs have rapidly increased.
The electronic editions of Xinhua News Agency, People’s Daily, China Radio International, and others have successively opened Japanese-language sites.
They distribute news centered on promoting Communist Party policies and praising China.
In addition, Focus Asia, which specializes in China-related news, states on its website that it is operated by a “Japanese” company called Xinhua Finance Co., Ltd.
However, when the company was first established, it distributed news as the Japanese agent for Xinhua Net.
After passing through such company names as “Xinhua News Net Japan” and “Mainichi China Economy,” it has reached its current form.
The company’s senior adviser is Jiang Feng, editor-in-chief of the Japan New Overseas Chinese News Agency and editor-in-chief of the Japan monthly edition of the overseas version of People’s Daily.
As one can tell even from those titles, Jiang Feng is a man deeply tied to the Chinese Embassy in Tokyo.
The evil hand of the Chinese Communist Party has also penetrated Japan’s political world.
In a contribution to the Sankei Shimbun in March 2004, former Tokyo Governor Shintarō Ishihara wrote, “At the time, when Falun Gong members living in Tokyo applied to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government for NPO registration, there was pressure from the Chinese Embassy in Japan, both openly and behind the scenes, even mobilizing a major LDP politician.”
The name of the lawmaker was not disclosed, but it was a story proving the existence of politicians who act in accordance with the wishes of the Chinese Communist Party.
Also, in the October 2006 issue of Sapio, in the article “Squirming! A White Paper on Chinese Special Operations Against Japan” by Yuan Xiangming, there was the following statement: “The wife of a major LDP lawmaker elected from western Japan, who had also served as a cabinet minister, suffered from terminal liver cancer last year.
A Chinese man visited the Diet members’ office building and urged her to undergo a liver transplant at a hospital in China.
Through the man’s arrangement, she safely underwent surgery at a Chinese military hospital and recovered.”
At the end of the article it is written, “It is whispered that, because of his wife, that先生 can no longer hold his head high before China.”
Not a few politicians have also fallen into the Communist Party’s honey traps.
The most famous case is that of the Chinese female interpreter who ensnared former Prime Minister Ryūtarō Hashimoto.
This woman, who was suspected of having used her relationship with Hashimoto to press for measures such as increasing ODA to China, was found to have been an intelligence operative of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau.
In January 2016, Britain’s intelligence agency MI6 submitted a report to then Prime Minister Cameron stating that “honey traps” by Chinese female spies were a more serious threat to national security than the extremist organization Islamic State, or IS.
Through its “Blue, Gold, Yellow Plan,” the Chinese Communist Party is expanding pro-CCP forces overseas.
At a press conference, Guo Wengui also said, “What surprised me was that the people who came to persuade us to cancel the event were not Chinese, but Americans.
What an absurd story.”
