This chapter republishes, with corrections, an essay originally released on July 30, 2015.
It criticizes the Asahi Shimbun and the Mainichi Shimbun for their reporting on Okinawa, anti-nuclear activism, and attacks on the Abe administration, describing them as anti-Japanese propaganda that benefits China and South Korea.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Asahi and the Mainichi are now newspapers like the People’s Daily, serving a one-party communist dictatorship.
I am republishing the essay I released on July 30, 2015, after correcting typographical errors and the like.
The Asahi Shimbun… especially concerning Okinawa, is not merely running around in order to split national opinion; it even calmly writes malicious articles such as arguments for Okinawan independence, as if written for someone else, in other words, articles that would delight countries continuing anti-Japanese propaganda.
It is now no exaggeration to say that the Asahi Shimbun itself has become a stronghold of anti-Japanese propaganda.
Rather than saying that it will do anything to bring down the Abe administration, its baseness lies in the fact that it will do anything to divert the people’s eyes from the fabrication of the so-called comfort women issue….
It is no different at all from the state of South Korea, where Asahi is said to be respected… a country that in reality is a totalitarian state.
Yesterday, as an ideal matter with which to launch a further attack on the Abe administration… TV Asahi’s News Station broadcast, with Asahi’s evident delight, the way it was siding with Okinawa Governor Onaga.
They are kindergarten children who do not understand at all that China’s true intention and essence is to come and seize the Senkaku Islands if Japan shows even the slightest opening.
Xi Jinping was surely breaking into a smile over the excellence of his country’s intelligence units… as he welcomed the visiting Turkish president and the business delegation.
Furthermore, taking as a good opportunity the fact that Asahi and Mainichi are acting in concert and chanting anti-nuclear slogans like kindergarten children, China is incorporating Westinghouse and working to export nuclear power plants to Turkey.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Asahi and the Mainichi are now newspapers like the People’s Daily, serving a one-party communist dictatorship.
Who is pleased now when national opinion is split over Okinawa?
Needless to say, it is China.
Or else South Korea, which would be pleased if Japanese national opinion were divided, another weak administration were born, and Japan’s national strength declined.
Probably only those two countries.
Other than them, there is no country anywhere in the world that would be pleased if Japanese national opinion were split, Japan weakened its national power, and the world were trampled by countries like China and South Korea.
（Though somehow Germany alone seems to be an exception.）
In other words, people like those at the Asahi and the Mainichi are only China, South Korea, Germany, and some people in the United States… Mike Honda, Mindy Kotler, Alexis Dudden, and Carol Gluck….
Only truly rude and low-intelligence newspapers such as the New York Times, which speak about Japan with manuscripts like those of The Japan Times, and some newspapers in Germany.
