Search results corroborate that fabricated comfort-women reporting by Asahi Shimbun has been exploited internationally as anti-Japan propaganda, spreading even within the United Nations.

That South Korea continues to exploit internationally the fabricated comfort women reporting created by the Asahi Shimbun for anti-Japan activities is due in large part to the factor that fascists raised through anti-Japan education—an unmistakable fascism begun by Syngman Rhee—are involved, but a similar tradition of evil is also a major cause.
I am convinced that underlying the manner of continuing to shout lies loudly is their unbelievable ideology that the one deceived is at fault and the one who deceives wins.
The time has long since come for the world to know this as well.
Therefore, I tell Japan and the world that this is precisely the result of the condition of a country of “plausible lies” and “bottomless evil.”
As you know, I have advocated the two-percent-evil-people theory. I have also stated that a country of 1.3 billion people has 26 million evil people, and that China is therefore a difficult country.
The news reported that among goods circulating on the internet and elsewhere, the number of counterfeit items seized by the authorities alone exceeds sixty thousand.
When I searched on Google for the above passage that I later added because it had been missing from “Yesterday, I learned that economic organizations led by Japan’s Keidanren are visiting China with the revitalization of economic exchange with China as their agenda,” I found the following article. This article also proves one hundred percent the correctness of my argument.

The comfort women issue is the “largest media crime of the postwar era” fabricated by Asahi
Toshio Motoya (Representative of the APA Group) / Tony Marano (Commentator)
“Anti-Japan” is flourishing even at the United Nations
Motoya Mr. Marano, I sincerely thank you as one Japanese person for sending opinions for Japan from the United States via YouTube and other platforms. I myself also disseminate various opinions through my group companies.
Since I was an elementary school student, reading newspapers has been my hobby, and I was even interested in differences among the papers’ reporting, to the point of reading between the lines. After that, I traveled to seventy-eight countries around the world and, based on study abroad and on-site experiences, learned the cultures and customs of many countries. I also built friendships with key figures such as former President of the Cuban Council of State Fidel Castro, former President of Taiwan Lee Teng-hui, and former President of South Korea Kim Young-sam. In the course of this, many people around the world say, “Japan is wonderful,” yet for some reason Japan’s media reports nothing but “anti-Japan.” I always found this puzzling.
Marano I too think Japan is a wonderful country, to the extent that I published a book titled Japan Is the Best in the World! Declaration (Fusosha). Since the days when Sea Shepherd harassed Japan’s whaling activities, I have uploaded videos to YouTube to question Western liberal forces. Japanese culture is unique and distinctive, and Japan should be more confident.
But what surprised me when I came to Japan was that if you say “Japan is a great country,” you are labeled a dangerous nationalist. Japan’s media seems overly dyed in liberalism.
Even in the United States, liberals mistakenly believe they are progressive and end up destroying tradition and culture. They dominate the United Nations and try to spread their own dogmatism. Fundamentally similar to them are the two forces attacking Japan under the banner of “anti-Japan,” namely China and South Korea.
Motoya Not only the Senkaku Islands and Takeshima, but even Okinawa and Tsushima are claimed by China and South Korea as their own territories. To that end, they spread worldwide claims of things that never happened, such as the massacre of 300,000 in Nanjing or that 200,000 women were taken from the Korean Peninsula as comfort women and made sex slaves. They build comfort-women statues, and even Western intellectual circles have come to believe these lies.
The cause of this situation is that in 1983 Seiji Yoshida published false confession books such as My War Crimes, claiming that during the war he made Korean women into comfort women on Jeju Island. The Asahi Shimbun repeatedly featured this content, and although reporter Takashi Uemura knew it was not factual, he repeatedly ran false reports that Kim Hak-sun, described as a former comfort woman, had been “taken to the battlefield under the name of the Women’s Volunteer Corps.” Furthermore, in an evening column on January 23, 1992, Kiyotai Kitabatake, an editorial writer at Asahi’s Osaka headquarters, published an article titled “Comfort Women,” which became the cause of reporting military forced abduction and sexual slavery. To quote it,
[quotation continues exactly as original]
If a country’s major newspaper Asahi continues to write such articles, people in any country will come to believe that “Japan once forcibly took 200,000 comfort women from Korea and made them sex slaves.”
That Asahi Shimbun finally, after thirty-two years, published a verification article acknowledging it was a false report and had its president apologize. I believe this was not a misreport but the “largest media crime of the postwar era” fabricated by the anti-Japan media Asahi, and that everyone involved, beginning with the president, should resign immediately. I also want past presidents to take responsibility.
