The final sentence states that in China, anti-espionage laws and national security laws were enacted in 2014–2015, and cases of foreign nationals being detained have followed one after another.
This means that China has been carrying out exactly what is written in the content of the laws they enacted, especially toward other countries, and particularly toward Japan.
As for South Korea, it is in no way comparable to China. After all, it is the country that brazenly abducted Kim Dae-jung in broad daylight while he was staying in Tokyo.
Only those with intellects equivalent to kindergarten children would be unable to consider the possibility that organizations equivalent to their CIA or FBI have continued their operations in Japan, targeting the Asahi Shimbun in the media and the Democratic Party as the leading political party.
The following is an article that appeared in yesterday’s Sankei Shimbun.
It was revealed on the 18th that Zhao Hongwei, a Chinese professor at Hosei University, has failed to return to Japan and cannot be contacted more than two weeks after his scheduled return date, following a visit to China in late February.
According to university officials, Zhao is believed to have disappeared in Beijing in early March, and there is a possibility that Chinese authorities have detained him for questioning.
According to those involved, Zhao traveled to Beijing from February 27 to March 1. However, concerns began spreading among China researchers when he failed to appear, without notice, at meetings in Japan that he was scheduled to attend in early March.
Zhao had been posting on social media almost daily until the end of February, but updates reportedly ceased after March began.
Zhao came to Japan in 1986, earned a doctoral degree at the University of Tokyo, and is currently teaching seminars on contemporary China at Hosei University’s Faculty of Career Design.
In China, anti-espionage laws and national security laws were enacted in 2014–2015, and cases of foreign nationals being detained have continued to occur.
