This article criticizes China for spreading the Wuhan virus throughout the world without apology and then beginning to present itself as a victim. Based on Shigeharu Aoyama’s essay, it discusses the threat of biological weapons, the need for an international investigation into the Wuhan Institute of Virology, China’s information concealment, and why Japan must move toward constitutional revision and stronger national security.

Perhaps in order to escape paying compensation for the enormous damage it has inflicted on the world, China is now beginning to make statements as if it were the victim.
China, while being the very culprit that scattered the Wuhan virus throughout the world, has not even offered a word of apology.
China is the country that has extorted the largest amount of money in history from Japan by fabricating various matters such as the Nanjing Massacre, poison gas, and Unit 731.
But China.
The fact that this Wuhan virus was scattered throughout the world by China is a fact clearly known by people all over the world, except for WHO’s Tedros and countries that have been made debt-ridden by China.
China, what will you do?
You extorted an enormous amount of money from Japan through fabrications, but this time the matter is unmistakably fact.
Perhaps all the more in order to escape paying compensation for the enormous damage it has inflicted on the world, China is now beginning to make statements as if it were the victim.
There are even reports that China has gone so far as to say that it was brought in by the United States.
It is no exaggeration at all to say that there is only one thing the world should learn from this act by China that has plunged the whole world into crisis.
That is that China, the communist one-party dictatorship of China, must never again be allowed to grow arrogant.
Japan, located as China’s neighbor, is the country that suffers the greatest damage from their arrogance, and has continued to suffer it.
But the Japanese people must know that this is postwar Japan.
From thousands of years ago until before the war, Japan was never continually deceived by China, a country of bottomless evil and plausible lies.
That is because the countless great men Japan has produced since the beginning of history knew China’s evil.
This is damage that Japan has continued to suffer because the people who have controlled newspapers such as the Asahi Shimbun and television media such as NHK have become China’s running dogs.
Japan must immediately shut out this damage, taking the present disaster as a lesson.
For Japan’s sake, and for the world’s sake, what is absolutely necessary for that purpose is to quickly revise the Constitution imposed by GHQ immediately after the end of the war, a Constitution designed to weaken Japan permanently, and it is no exaggeration to say, to destroy Japan.
Even an elementary school child can understand that being a major nuclear-armed power is one of the greatest factors behind China’s current tyranny.
Japan should immediately become a major nuclear-armed power and stop China’s tyranny.
Constantly monitor China.
Immediately make China stop its research and production of biological and chemical weapons.
This is all the more so because, on this point, only Japan, the only country in the world that does not conduct research and production of biological and chemical weapons, has the right to speak.
The time has long since come for the world to recognize China’s evil.
The wife of the prime minister of Canada became infected, and a Brazilian government official who had been near President Trump later became infected.
Above all, looking at the situation in Italy, the probability that this Wuhan virus was caused by China having created it as a biological and chemical weapon is growing ever higher.
The person responsible is probably Shi Zhengli, the female scientist and “P4” researcher at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, whom Masayuki Takayama told us about the other day.
The following is the continuation of an essay by Shigeharu Aoyama, a member of the House of Councillors, writer, visiting professor at Kindai University, and lecturer at the University of Tokyo’s independent research seminar, published in the monthly magazine Hanada, which not only the Japanese people but also people throughout the world must read.
The threat of biological weapons
It is impossible to eliminate the possibility that some kind of research and development has been carried out at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
However, the idea that appeared early on the internet that “China may have launched biological warfare” is wrong.
Using a biological weapon inside its own country is impossible, even for China.
If one says that it is possible, that is merely hatred and prejudice.
When this is denied, there are actually people who refuse to give up conspiracy theories and say, “Then perhaps a faction within the Chinese Communist Party or part of the military, aiming to bring down President Xi Jinping, planned it.”
That too is wrong.
If a biological weapon is used inside one’s own country, the economy will certainly collapse.
China, in reality, relies only on money.
Even if the economy is bad, through the coercive power of dictatorship, it can collect taxes without exception from all of a population thought to greatly exceed 1.4 billion.
It can also raise taxes without holding budget committee sessions or public opinion polls or anything else.
By using the cash it collects both openly and behind the scenes, it carries out everything from protecting itself to operations against other countries.
Therefore, China would not cause Wuhan fever through a conspiracy that would make it lose money.
But if it was an accident, that is possible.
In order to consider that accident scenario, let us think about what would be necessary if China wants to deny the possibility, mentioned above, that it has been carrying out some kind of research and development at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
The only way is for China itself, taking this Wuhan fever as the occasion, to fully open the institute to an international investigation team.
However, not only in China but in any major country, this is unlikely to be expected.
That is because, if a virus is weaponized and is used, or if it leaks due to an accident, its threat can become deeper than that of nuclear weapons.
Nuclear weapons are killers that melt even babies into sludge.
On the other hand, their killing is within a certain range from the hypocenter.
Chemical weapons, depending on how they are used, can make every living thing suffer cruelly and kill them.
However, air and water have strong diluting power, and this damage also does not exceed a certain range.
By contrast, the threat of biological weapons spreads to anyone, indefinitely, except in two cases.
The first of the two cases is one in which an effective vaccine is quickly administered in a ring outside the contaminated area, and the infection range is successfully limited to the inside of that vaccine-administered ring.
The second is a case in which, because a virus disappears when there is no one left to infect, the contaminated area is also successfully sealed off completely and early, turning it into an uninhabited land.
If biological weapons are being developed, and if that weaponized virus enters the environment, whether through combat action, conspiracy, or accident, there are only these two ways to prevent the spread of the threat.
This time, China failed at both.
As for a vaccine, far from being administered, it had not yet even been developed, as of mid-February when this essay was being written.
The lockdown was finally carried out only after people said to number around five million had already left Wuhan, a city of 11 million people, for other parts of China and for foreign countries including Japan.
For that reason, even if people do not die directly as they do from nuclear weapons or poison gas, the fear and suspicion of the outbreak, the spread of infection, are making societies in China and other countries shrink back, in the present situation five months before the Tokyo Olympics.
The damage suffered by individual lives, society, and the state is broad and deep.
That is precisely why, for 22 years, humble though I am, I have continued warning about the threat of infectious diseases.
Once the crisis began, although I was not in charge of it at all, I began running around.
The good side of the Liberal Democratic Party is that it does not say, “You are not in charge, so keep quiet.”
Because I do not enter the government, I am not a parliamentary vice-minister of health, labor and welfare.
In principle, given the number of times I have been elected, becoming state minister or minister of health, labor and welfare is not possible.
In the Liberal Democratic Party, I do not hold duties in the field of health administration, such as deputy chairman of the Health, Labor and Welfare Division.
I am deputy chairman of the Foreign Affairs Division, acting director of the party’s Women’s Bureau, and vice chairman of the Policy Deliberation Council of the Liberal Democratic Party in the House of Councillors.
However, anyone can participate in the Liberal Democratic Party’s task force, and if one raises one’s hand and is successfully recognized, one can speak freely and demand answers from the government side.
Party divisions, whether in the medical field or any other field, are in the first place open to participation.
However, in order for statements at such task forces and divisions to move the government even slightly, they must have the rationality and persuasive power to gain the support of many other attending lawmakers on the spot, and it is also indispensable that invisible efforts have been accumulated, such as continuing to attend divisions in various fields from 8 a.m. in ordinary times.
And I can act in solidarity with the 52 members of both houses of the Diet in the new type of lawmakers’ group, the Association to Protect Japan’s Dignity and National Interest.
I decided to fully activate all of these, and as a premise for that, I continued exchanging information with intelligence sources as usual.
For example, what did I learn?
