Leaders across the international community have given Prime Minister Abe high praise for the role he has continued to play on the world stage.
Yet within Japan, Asahi Shimbun and NHK persist in reporting that undermines his administration, binding the country to the same perspective seen in China and the Korean Peninsula.
This is a warning that asks Japan to confront the true reason it has failed to rise as a leader of the world.

The only ones in the world who disparage Prime Minister Abe and refuse to acknowledge his worth are Asahi Shimbun, NHK, China, and the Korean Peninsula.
The time has long since come when every Japanese citizen should understand what this means.

Japan is a nation where “The Turntable of Civilization” is turning….
As the prime minister of a country that, alongside the United States, must continue to lead the world for the next 170 years, Prime Minister Abe has continued to play a major role in international society….
Yet in Japan, dominated by Asahi Shimbun and NHK, unlike every country other than China and the Korean Peninsula….
There is absolutely no reporting that all the leaders of the world are giving Prime Minister Abe the highest praise….
Instead, they line up trivial remarks by cabinet ministers and others, and report as though the Abe administration were a failed government….
And now, Japan is in the very midst of unified local elections.

People of Japan, government of Japan, how long do you intend to leave such an NHK, such a News Watch 9, unchecked?
In China or on the Korean Peninsula, for whom they act as proxies, such people would all be immediately arrested and confined, and punished with grave crimes including death for treason, and yet Japan continues this absurd situation in which such people control the national broadcaster….
That is the true reason Japan cannot become a leader of the world….
That is the true reason Japan continues to be slighted and looked down upon by China and the Korean Peninsula.

Recently, through a friend’s connection, I had an opportunity to speak with people connected to the largest bank in Singapore, and every one of them praised Prime Minister Abe in the same terms.
Hearing that, I instantly thought of the wretched state of Japan, ruled by Asahi and NHK and the like.
The only ones in the world who disparage Prime Minister Abe and refuse to acknowledge his worth are Asahi Shimbun, NHK, China, and the Korean Peninsula.
The time has long since come when every Japanese citizen should understand what this means.
