The Japanese government is wise, and the mass media is highly ignorant (and stupid).
It is a reprint of the chapter I sent out on 2021-05-29, with some punctuation.
Today’s Sankei Shimbun, page 13, Opinion section, has a genuine article by three reporters who embody that the Sankei Shimbun is the most decent newspaper today.
Initially, for me, television was for watching live sports.
Before Hollywood rubbed off on China, I used to watch foreign films on wowow.
It is no exaggeration to say that Hollywood is now making movies for the “market of 1.4 billion people,” a trap Xi Jinping is setting for the developed world.
In other words, they are making movies for the people, who are not human beings in the name of humanity, who have accepted the nightmare surveillance society completed by Xi Jinping, the worst dictator in the history of the Communist Party’s one-party state.
Hollywood has become a stronghold of pseudo-moralism and political correctness, and it is suffocating.
Not only that, but they have started making movies for the people of Xi Jinping’s cyborg group, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are no longer movies that any sane person can watch.
I used to watch the two evening news programs on T.V. Tokyo and BS TV Tokyo. Still, I was so disgusted by the heavy use of Naomi Trauden and Akira Ikegami in their programming that I almost stopped watching them.
The Communist Party is about propaganda, but communism itself is essentially about waging a propaganda war against the international community.
That’s why China is using all kinds of methods to trick the rest of the world.
The environment and the SDGs use a high school student named Greta Thunberg in Western Europe and a university student named Naomi Trauden in Japan.
Suga’s cabinet invited Naomi Trauden to be a member of some committee is unacceptable.
I guess it is just another example of how populism (mass media) has invaded politics.
The following article proves that developed countries are entirely in line with China’s tactics.
Poisoned by pseudo-moralism, the world and human beings have become so stupid that Xi Jinping easily fools them.
It proves that the major countries of the G7 have reached the same level of stupidity as the Japanese people who read the Asahi and Mainichi newspapers as far back as they can remember.
China must be gloating as it manipulates Western nations, which have been poisoned by pseudo-moralism and political correctness, like twisting a baby’s hands.
The following is an article by Jiro Otani, deputy editor and editorial board member of the Sankei Shimbun.
The emphasis in the text except for the headline is mine.
Don’t allow China’s expansion to be misused as a “developing country”: Draw up a strategy to pressure Japan and the U.S. to “decarbonize.
Japan’s Family Situation　
“We want to contribute to the maximum extent possible while respecting the circumstances of each country and seeking a path that is appropriate for each country,”
Hiroshi Kajiyama, head of the Ministry of Economic, Trade, and Industry, said at a meeting of climate and environment ministers of the Group of Seven (G7) industrialized nations, held online on June 20.　
In preparation for the G7 summit scheduled for June, the United Kingdom, which holds the presidency of the G7, has proposed to the G7 nations to include in the joint statement “the abolition of coal-fired power generation at the earliest possible date.
The U.K., France, Germany, Italy, and Canada are also positive about abolishing coal-fired power generation, but some circumstances make this unacceptable to Japan.　
About 40% of Japan’s CO2 emissions (about 1.1 billion tons per year) come from power plants and other sources, of which coal-fired power plants account for about half.
Compared to oil and natural gas, coal is less expensive and can be procured stably from overseas, which has supported Japan’s economic development.　
Of course, with the global trend of decarbonization, thermal power generation is being reduced, and renewable energy sources such as solar and wind are being expanded.
However, solar and other forms of energy are easily affected by natural conditions, and a certain amount of thermal power is needed to provide a stable supply of electricity.　
Moreover, Japan has positioned the export of thermal power generation technology, which boasts the world’s highest level of power generation efficiency and low CO2 emissions, as a pillar of its “infrastructure system export strategy.
For this reason, there is a widespread sense of crisis among government officials that if Japan backs off, China will quickly move in.
*This paper proves that the Japanese government is wise and the mass media is entirely ignorant and stupid.
Not only are they ignorant and chaotic, but they are also entirely manipulated by China, which is the reality of newspapers such as Asahi, Mainichi, Tokyo, Nikkei, and T.V. stations such as NHK.*
At the G7 meeting, Kajiyama explained the stricter requirements for export support for coal-fired power plants and asked for understanding.　　
Economic diplomacy　
“A term called economic statecraft,” said Akira Amari, Chairman of the Tax Commission of the Liberal Democratic Party and an expert on energy policy.
The term “economic statecraft” refers to using economic means to influence other countries to benefit the country without using military force.
“It can also be translated as “economic national policy” or “economic diplomacy.　
Mr. Amari said, “The same goes for exports and imports. If we can create a situation of dependence where the economy cannot exist without that country, it will become a weapon. 
*It brilliantly demonstrated the ability of this genuine politician with rare insight during the negotiations with the U.S. The Japanese people must know that the weekly magazine that temporarily disqualified him, so to speak, is a media outlet that is entirely under the control of China.*
If China replaces Japan in exporting thermal power technology to developing countries and creates dependence on China in the energy sector, it will have significant influence.　
In fact, at the climate change summit held online in April, China emphasized cooperation with developing countries that put economic development first.　
Japan, the U.S., the U.K., and other countries have announced new medium-term targets for greenhouse gas reductions.
Japan announced that it would reduce its emissions by 46% in FY2030 compared to FY13. It is a significant increase from the previous target of 26%.
The United States set a 50-52% reduction in 2030 compared to 2005, and the United Kingdom announced a 78% reduction in 2035 compared to 1990.
China, however, has not agreed to set a new reduction target.
It emits about 9.8 billion tons of C02 per year (2019), about 30% of the world’s total.
Although its emissions are almost twice as high as those of the U.S., which is the second-highest, China has yet to set a new reduction target, stating that it will start to reduce its emissions by 2030.　
U.S. President Joe Biden called for “major countries to raise their reduction targets with China in mind.”
In response, President Xi Jinping argued that “developed countries should show greater ambition and action, and at the same time appropriately help developing countries accelerate their green and low-carbon transition.　
“This was supposed to be a way for the developed countries to put pressure on China by working together to lead the way in reducing their emissions,” said a senior METI official.
The persistent “dichotomy theory
Initially, the 197 countries and regions that concluded the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (effective 1994) were divided into two groups, “developed countries” and “developing countries,” based on the annexes to the Convention.
The 43 industrialized countries and regions were obligated to reduce their emissions with numerical targets, but developing countries were not required to show specific reduction targets.
China, the world’s tenth-largest gross domestic product (GDP), was treated as a developing country.　
Although the Paris Agreement, a new framework to be implemented from 2020 (effective in 2016), requires all countries and regions to submit reduction targets, the “dichotomy” persists. The reduction targets for developing countries have been set as effort provisions.　
Furthermore, developed countries are required to provide funds to support developing countries.
Japan has announced that it will contribute up to $3 billion (about 329 billion yen) to the Green Climate Fund established by the treaty.
However, China’s contribution is zero. Besides, it has so far received 1.2% of the approved amount of aid (about $100 million).
It is, although China is now the world’s second-largest economy.　
China overtook Japan in GDP to become the world’s second-largest economy in 2010.
China’s rapid increase in C02 emissions in the 2000s shows that the country continued its high economic growth while burning cheap coal and converting it into electricity.　
Moreover, it will continue to emit C02 until 2030.
It is somewhat in line with the prediction and analysis that China will overtake the U.S. to become the world’s largest economy in 35 years.　
China is also accelerating its shift to renewable energy.
The production volume of solar panels and wind power generation equipment has become one of the highest globally, and exports to other countries are expanding.
Amari said, “China will fuel” environmental public opinion “to replace Japan’s thermal power exports to developing countries. On the other hand, China plans to export from China in large quantities by creating a flow of solar and wind power expansion in developed countries. countries.” 
“It’s a two-for-one strategy,” he said.　
＊The weekly magazine that temporarily disgraced him, so to speak, is a media outlet that is entirely under the control of China. It proves that the government is wise and the mass media is altogether ignorant.＊
▼ By various means　
Nevertheless, we cannot afford to run for cover as the battle for leadership in decarbonization accelerates.
We cannot afford to fall into the pace of China, which plays the role of both an economic superpower and a developing country.
The unity of the United States, the world’s largest economy, and Japan, the third-largest, will be essential to counter China.
In the “Climate Partnership” agreed to at the Japan-U.S. summit in April, Prime Minister Kan and Mr. Hyten also confirmed that they would “ensure that critical stakeholders fulfill their international obligations and responsibilities in a manner commensurate with their respective positions.
It is clear that China is on their minds, and they are ready to step up the pressure.　
At the 26th Conference of the Parties (COP26) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), scheduled to be held in the United Kingdom in November this year, China will not be treated as a developing country and will be pressed to take responsible action toward decarbonization.
However, it is not so easy to position China as a developed country under the treaty, as it requires approval from various countries and other procedures to change the treaty.
Japan will consider reviewing the fund’s management, imposing the burden of contributions, and effectively removing itself as a developing country by not receiving support.　
Japan should not get carried away only by the figures of the reduction target but should work closely with the U.S. to develop and implement a strategy that will surely lead other developing countries.
