The Party That Must Pay Compensation Is Not the Japanese Government, but China
On April 8, 2020, this article criticizes television media that had spent their days attacking the Japanese government, only to turn around and demand compensation from it during the COVID-19 crisis. It argues that the party from whom compensation should be demanded is not the Japanese government but China, and points out the pseudo-moralism and poor choice of commentators in television reporting.

The media that, until yesterday, had spent their days attacking the government, that is, attacking the state, are now, as far as I know, the television media in particular, saying to the state, compensation, compensation.
As I have already written, the conduct of local government heads at the time of the Great East Japan Earthquake was also nothing worthy of praise.
Not one among them is saying a word about demanding damages from China.
The media that, until yesterday, had spent their days attacking the government, that is, attacking the state, are now, as far as I know, the television media in particular, saying to the state, compensation, compensation.
As if that were justice, with their usual pseudo-moralism.
But, media.
If you speak of compensation, then before anything else, raise your voices against China with unforgivable anger.
The party from whom compensation should be demanded is China, and there is no way it is the Japanese government.
At present, apart from NHK news, I am watching TV Tokyo’s WBS.
There must have been many people who watched Prime Minister Abe’s live appearance last night and thought it was far better than NHK’s watch9.
But even this program cannot escape the poor quality of television people.
The day before yesterday, to talk about the Wuhan virus disaster, they brought on, of all people, Hitonari Tsuji, who lives in Paris.
TV Tokyo must be an organization made up of people whose intellect is such that they consider him the most suitable person.
Last night, unbelievably, they had a doctor named Kamata or something criticize the government.
Now, as I was searching for this person named Minoru Kamata, I was appalled.
I truly feel nauseated by the people who control television news departments.
Minoru Kamata.
Peace Boat navigator.
What on earth is that!
