A forceful critique urging readers to reject pseudo-intellectuals and activists in postwar Japan, while emphasizing the essential value of a Japan–U.S.–China dialogue by Masayuki Takayama and Kaori Fukushima.

This section argues that contemporary Japanese discourse is increasingly shaped by figures who functionally resemble historical ideological collaborators.
It positions a Japan–U.S.–China dialogue by Takayama and Fukushima as an essential corrective to this trend and as required reading for informed civic judgment.

Masayuki Takayama, the one and only journalist in the postwar world, and Kaori Fukushima, one of the foremost experts on China of our time, held a remarkable dialogue on the United States and China, which was published by Tokuma Shoten on January 31, 2017, under the title America and China Are Destroying the World, priced at 1,300 yen.
Kaori Fukushima was born in 1967 in Nara Prefecture.
After graduating from the Faculty of Letters at Osaka University, she joined the Osaka headquarters of the Sankei Shimbun.
In 1998, she studied Chinese at Fudan University in Shanghai.
In 2001, she became head of the Hong Kong bureau, and from 2002 to 2008 she was stationed in Beijing as a special correspondent for the China bureau.
After leaving the company in 2009, she has worked as a freelance journalist.
She is widely recognized for her broad and multifaceted reporting, covering politics, economics, society, and culture.
This book is essential reading for all Japanese citizens and for people throughout the world.
I convey this message to people around the world whenever the opportunity arises.
All Japanese citizens, however, should immediately go to the nearest bookstore and purchase it.
In truth, they will come to realize, with painful clarity, that this is no time to be reading the works of writers who can without exaggeration be described as the Ozaki Hotsumi of today’s Japan, nor those of so-called scholars, so-called cultural figures, or so-called human-rights lawyers.
