Under Beijing’s Shadow: How Xinhua, Kyodo, and Jiji Form a Joint Front to Bring Down the Takaichi Government

The author notes that, based on a previous Japan–China agreement to “improve public opinion toward China through media cooperation,” China’s state-run Xinhua News Agency and Japan’s Kyodo News and Jiji Press signed a memorandum of cooperation in February.
Seen in light of their current “joint campaign” to topple the Takaichi administration, this pact is no longer surprising.
The piece concludes that Japan’s major news outlets have effectively come under the control of the Chinese Communist Party — and that this is Japan’s present reality.

Based on the agreement that former Foreign Minister Iwaya made with his Chinese counterpart — namely, that “Japan–China media cooperation” would be used to improve public opinion toward China — China’s state-run Xinhua News Agency and Japan’s Kyodo News and Jiji Press signed a memorandum of cooperation on news reporting this February.
The world was shocked, but when we now look at the “joint front” of these three organizations to “bring down the Takaichi administration at all costs,” it all makes sense.
Japan’s news organizations have long since fallen under the control of the Chinese Communist Party.
That is the reality.
