This essay expresses strong indignation over the apparent pattern by which Süddeutsche Zeitung repeatedly used articles from Asahi Shimbun and The Japan Times to publish anti-Japan reports.
It sharply questions the international spread of anti-Japan defamation, attacks on Japan through the United Nations, and the responsibility of the media that enable such campaigns.

You, like them, not only align yourself with slander against your own country, but also broadcast to the world numerous fabricated articles in order to serve anti-German propaganda…

This is an essay I posted on 2018-08-22 under the title, “I learned that Süddeutsche Zeitung appears to have repeatedly published anti-Japan articles by using anti-Japan articles from The Japan Times and Asahi Shimbun.”
Sometime after August four years ago, I learned that a newspaper called Süddeutsche Zeitung, apparently regarded as a leading newspaper in Germany, seems to have continued frequently publishing anti-Japan articles by using anti-Japan articles from The Japan Times and Asahi Shimbun.
Soon afterward, I saw a poll in Germany showing that about half of Germans held anti-Japan sentiments.
I want to say this to the reporter who has continued writing anti-Japan articles in Süddeutsche Zeitung.
If France or Poland were countries of the same nature as China or the Korean Peninsula, constantly conducting anti-German propaganda and continuing throughout the world activities that ceaselessly damage Germany’s honor and credibility in the world,
if you regard Asahi Shimbun and The Japan Times as representative of Japan’s intellect, or as proper media…
then, like them, would you not only align yourself with slander against your own country, but also broadcast to the world numerous fabricated articles in order to serve anti-German propaganda…
and continue giving them ideal material with which to attack Germany?
And would you also want to be the backbone media for traitors who go running to the United Nations…
so that countries which constantly engage in anti-German propaganda may dominate the United Nations…
and have them issue human-rights recommendations against Germany?
Reporter who has continued writing anti-Japan articles in Süddeutsche Zeitung.
Are you…
equivalent to such people as those at Asahi Shimbun and NHK…
one of the most shameful human beings in this world?
