This commentary examines the appointment of a new UNESCO Director-General and raises concerns about political bias within international organizations.
It discusses the influence of China and South Korea, financial imbalances, and Japan’s policy toward global institutions.
The author argues that Japan should consider withdrawing from UNESCO, following the example of the United States.

Was it not a French person who became UNESCO’s Director-General after Irina Bokova?

The following is a continuation of the previous chapter.
Huh?
That utterly despicable individual… completely entangled in Chinese influence operations… a woman whom insiders naturally assumed must have received large bribes from China… a person despised by Bulgarian intellectuals as nothing less than a descendant of the one-party communist dictators who once ruled Bulgaria… this had already been made clear in the paper of a figure I had previously consulted, a journalist now active in Canada after going into exile.
Was it not a French person who became UNESCO’s Director-General after Irina Bokova?
I ended my phone call with him and searched.
I shuddered.
There was an article stating that Ms. Azoulay, former French culture minister, had been appointed UNESCO’s new Director-General, defeating Qatar, and her photograph was included.
She was a woman.
And one whose expression resembled that of Irina Bokova.
There is a strong possibility that this woman is also connected to the incident that NHK is gleefully reporting as though it were a major event.
Masayuki Takayama has taught us that when Mahathir proposed an East Asian economic bloc centered on Japan, Clinton, who looked down on Japan and would not permit its revival, used APEC to crush the idea, and Japan wagged its tail and followed the United States.
What Japan should imitate is not that, but rather to follow the United States and withdraw from UNESCO immediately.
Because there are few organizations as terrible as this one.
China, now a complete one-party communist dictatorship… although not a true member of the victorious powers, behaves as though it were within the United Nations, a coalition of victorious nations, and makes full use of its ancient nature of intrigue and manipulation… centered on two methods: bribery through money and intimidation through force… and UNESCO can be said without exaggeration to be completely controlled by China and its kindred state South Korea.
Absurdly, the United States and Japan, now withdrawn, have supplied one-third of the operating funds required by them.
China contributes less than half of Japan’s amount, and only needs to divert a small portion of the ODA it receives from Japan to cover its contribution.
The Japanese government must follow the United States and withdraw from UNESCO immediately.
That such events are taking place in France, and in Paris, the home ground of the new Director-General Azoulay, proves that she too has already become a puppet of China and South Korea, no, that she has been bought.
It was probably correct that I came to dislike France in an instant last night.
Perhaps the truth is that the French are a collection of extremely vulgar men and women.
This incident will likely lead UNESCO to issue human-rights recommendations regarding Japanese groping cases… in other words, it will be Azoulay’s groundwork for spreading anti-Japan propaganda worldwide.
If one were to insert a “ba” into the name Azoulay, would that not reveal this woman’s true nature?
