Originally published on February 10, 2020. Based on articles from the Sankei Shimbun, Nikkei, and Yomiuri read aboard the Shinkansen on February 8, 2020, this essay discusses China’s incursions into Japanese territorial waters near the Senkaku Islands, Japanese corporate assistance amid the novel pneumonia outbreak, anti-Japanese propaganda by Korea’s VANK, South Korea’s double standards over treated water from Fukushima, and criticism of the Asahi Shimbun and NHK’s anti-Trump reporting. It argues that Japan must never misread the essential nature of China and Korea.

February 8… There were several articles that vividly conveyed the reality of countries of “bottomless evil” and “plausible lies.”
On February 8, while aboard the Shinkansen heading to Tokyo on business, I was reading the Sankei Shimbun, the Nikkei, and the Yomiuri.
There were several articles that vividly conveyed the reality of countries of “bottomless evil” and “plausible lies.”
Sumitomo Mitsui FG donated 200,000 masks.
Takara Bio increased production of novel pneumonia test reagents fiftyfold, following an urgent request from China.
At the same time as these articles, on February 5, four “Haijing” vessels of the China Coast Guard entered and sailed through Japanese territorial waters off the Senkaku Islands in Ishigaki City, Okinawa Prefecture, for about one hour and forty minutes.
This was the first intrusion by Chinese government vessels into Japanese territorial waters off the Senkaku Islands since January 14, and the third time this year.
Japan must never forget that the country called China, and especially the one-party dictators of the Communist Party, are people who repay kindness with enmity.
They merely speak of friendship whenever it suits their own convenience.
From the time Prime Minister Abe took office until only recently, Xi Jinping not only refused to hold a summit meeting, but even when they met at international conferences and the like, he would not even properly meet Abe’s eyes.
Naturally, there was not even the slightest trace of a smile.
And yet, taking advantage of foolish Obama’s foolish statement that “the United States is no longer the world’s policeman,” China rapidly turned the South China Sea into a fortress, that is, into military bases, and even made unilateral airspace declarations… At that time, Biden was thought to have taken his son to China to demand a withdrawal, but in fact, in exchange for more than 100 million yen in funding to his son’s company, he casually accepted China’s claims and came back… This is a fact that the vast majority of Japanese people did not know… Masayuki Takayama taught us this in his recent Shukan Shincho column, quoting the painstaking work of Watanabe Sōki.
The foolishness of the Asahi Shimbun and NHK, which continue their anti-Trump reporting while siding with such a Democratic Party, has reached its limit.
What makes the Asahi Shimbun hopelessly and essentially malicious is also the fact that it has preached the philosophy of noble poverty to the Japanese people, who originally possessed it, while siding with China and Korea, two anti-Japanese countries of which it is no exaggeration to say that they have nothing but the worship of money—China, ever since the Tiananmen Square incident, and Korea, throughout the postwar period, continuing Nazism under the name of anti-Japanese education—totalitarian countries of bottomless evil and plausible lies, and has continued to make Japan provide enormous amounts of money to these two countries.
VANK, an unbelievable anti-Japanese organization established by the Korean government and continuously provided with enormous funds, had created posters to degrade Japan, degrade Fukushima, and attack the Tokyo Olympics… Two types of posters, one of which included Mount Fuji, showing runners wearing protective clothing against radiation.
Korea, you are attacking Japan with foolish ignorance, without even knowing the fact that your country’s nuclear power plants discharge treated water into the sea every day containing more than one hundred times the concentration of tritium found in the treated water being held at Fukushima, which contains only a certain percentage of tritium.
In order to avoid the danger of being in a state of estrangement with no communication with China, a country that calmly commits the outrageous acts described above, Prime Minister Abe decided to invite Xi Jinping as a state guest, and one can more than imagine what must have been in his heart.
