An analysis exposing historical falsehoods promoted by the Chinese Communist Party, the symbolic nature of China’s aircraft carriers, and the failure of Japanese leftist media that insisted Japan lacked real power.

The following is a continuation of the previous section.

The Chinese Communist Party repeatedly claims that it “fought the Japanese army to protect the motherland and the people,” but this too is historically incorrect.
At that time, the Japanese army’s opponent was Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalist forces, and Mao Zedong’s Communist forces hardly fought the Japanese army at all.

In this respect, Japan may not be skillful at diplomacy, but it has carried out only what was substantive.
Given enough time, won’t all aspects of Japan–China diplomacy end in Japan’s victory?
The more Xi Jinping goes on the offensive, the more cornered he will become.

Even China’s aircraft carrier Liaoning is nothing but a paper tiger.
Aircraft carriers will be of no use in future wars.
Even Chinese military officers must know this.
So why build them anyway?
It is to show them off to the public.

Wasting money simply to display something to the people—what a pitiful country.
The need to demonstrate that “the Communist Party is great” may in fact indicate that the Party’s foundations are weakening.

As symbolized by Prime Minister Abe, Japan need only say what is obvious and remain steady.
Even then, it will never be attacked.
That is because Japan has that much real power.

Nevertheless, leftist newspapers kept writing, “Japan has no real power, so it must get along with China. Friendship, friendship.”
As everyone knows, those newspapers are now on the verge of collapse.

I still clearly remember Shokun!, where Professor Watanabe fought Asahi alone.
