This article cites Keiko Kawasoe’s work and introduces international concerns surrounding Huawei, PLA-linked scientists, the Five Eyes countries, and the Chinese Communist Party’s “red influence operations.”
Through the Australian Strategic Policy Institute’s report titled “Picking Flowers, Making Honey,” it discusses how scientists connected to the People’s Liberation Army have entered advanced science and engineering universities and research institutions in developed countries, including Japan, and brought technology and knowledge back to China.

In other words, it is a report saying that high-ranking science and engineering universities and faculties in developed countries, including Japan, were filled with industrial spies linked to the People’s Liberation Army.
The following chapter also proves that the Asahi Shimbun and NHK are completely under the influence operations of the Chinese Communist Party.
The author, Ms. Keiko Kawasoe, is one of the leading journalists of our time.
This is a book that not only the Japanese people but people all over the world must read.
In this article, I have greatly omitted not only the preface but also the middle portions, but needless to say, all of those sections are also essential reading.
Japanese citizens, please go to your nearest bookstore and purchase it.
Those in the international community who have taken Chinese and Korean anti-Japanese propaganda at face value should recognize the truth through this article.
“Picking Flowers Abroad and Making Honey in China”
The official closure of Huawei’s research and development center in Victoria, Australia, a member country of the Five Eyes, was announced in September 2019.
According to Huawei, it had “invested about 60 million Australian dollars so far” in the center, but it seems that the company “decided to leave before being driven out.”
The Australian Strategic Policy Institute published a shocking report titled “Picking Flowers, Making Honey.”
Its content is that scientists belonging to the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, while concealing their affiliation, conducted research activities at famous universities in the five Five Eyes countries, as well as Germany, Singapore, and Japan, took technology and knowledge back to China, and developed superior weapons.
According to the report, since 2007, the number of People’s Liberation Army scientists dispatched overseas was 500 each to the United States and Britain, and 300 each to Australia and Canada.
More than 100 were dispatched to Germany and Singapore respectively.
It is said that several hundred were dispatched to the Netherlands, Sweden, France, and Japan.
More than 1,600 scientists belonging to the National University of Defense Technology, which is connected to the People’s Liberation Army, had been dispatched to overseas universities as students or visiting professors by 2013.
In other words, it is a report saying that high-ranking science and engineering universities and faculties in developed countries, including Japan, were filled with industrial spies linked to the People’s Liberation Army.
New Zealand’s intelligence authorities also rejected, in November 2018, a plan to use Huawei technology for 5G in the country, citing “security risks.”
As New Zealand, one of the Five Eyes countries, was also aligning itself with the others, Air New Zealand Flight 289, which departed from Auckland for Shanghai, China, late at night on February 9, 2019, was unable to obtain landing permission from the Chinese authorities and, about four and a half hours after takeoff, returned to its point of departure.
The passengers transferred to another flight and arrived at Shanghai Pudong International Airport on the morning of the 11th.
Regarding this abnormal situation, the country’s media reported that “the cause was that the Chinese side regarded as problematic the wording concerning Taiwan that was included in the landing application documents for the flight.”
However, the possibility that it was retaliation for shutting Huawei out of 5G is not zero.
On February 13 of the same year, Huawei placed full-page advertisements in major New Zealand newspapers with the copy, “5G WITHOUT HUAWEI IS LIKE RUGBY WITHOUT NEW ZEALAND.”
It may have been a message mixed with humor and irony, but Andrew Little, the justice minister who oversees the country’s intelligence agencies, reportedly told reporters, “They can bark as much as they like.
But we must make decisions in the national security interests of New Zealand.”
Japan also seems to have decided on a policy of effectively excluding Huawei from government procurement, but television, newspapers, and the mass media treat the issue as taboo.
If they cannot break free from the various traps and propaganda of the Chinese Communist Party… then I am appalled.
In Japan, after “internationalization,” the expression “globalization” alone has raced ahead in the twenty-first century.
In other words, I believe that the fact that the people have fallen into a “linguistic information isolationism” is a major problem and defect.
Even in cyberspace, the great majority of Japanese people obtain information only in Japanese and end up thinking that they “know the world.”
The same is true of elites in Southeast Asia, and about 30 percent of the world, including those in the former Yugoslavia, the Baltic states, Central and Eastern Europe, and probably politicians in Africa, watch and read about world affairs in English.
The true intention of the United States under the Trump administration and the Five Eyes is to thoroughly crush the “red influence operations” of the Chinese Communist Party, which I described in detail in Chapter Two, and at the same time to ensure that the existing panda huggers inside their own countries never again rise to the mainstream.
It cannot be ruled out that the Trump administration and the establishment figures known as dragon slayers, that is, anti-CCP hardliners against China, are holding “secret meetings” that incorporate into their timetable not merely the weakening of the Xi regime, a Marxist regime that aims to become the world’s greatest military power and to achieve world domination, that is, worldwide simultaneous revolution, but even the collapse of the Communist Party dictatorship itself, in other words, the promotion of regime change.
What I want to emphasize once again here is that it was Canada, a member of the Five Eyes, which for many years had been eroded by China’s “red influence operations” and should have tilted toward being extremely pro-China, that arrested Meng Wanzhou, vice chairwoman of Huawei, which had risen to become the world’s largest telecommunications equipment manufacturer.
I infer that the Chinese authorities were considerably shaken.
