After checking the PM2.5 pollution map for the first time in several days, the author found an unprecedented pattern, indicating that the novel coronavirus was raging inside China more severely than Japanese media such as NHK had reported, and that China’s industrial activity had come to a standstill.
The article also harshly criticizes opposition parties such as the Constitutional Democratic Party and the Communist Party, as well as media outlets such as NHK, for focusing on the “Cherry Blossom Viewing Party” issue and obstructing the government’s ability to respond to the spread of infection in Japan.

It shows the reality that the novel coronavirus is raging inside China far more severely than Japanese mass media such as NHK have reported.
As a result, China’s industrial activity is at a standstill.
For several days, I had not checked the PM2.5 pollution map.
Yesterday, and again today, there was a pattern there that I had never once seen before.
What this map tells us is the following:
①
It shows the reality that the novel coronavirus is raging inside China far more severely than Japanese mass media such as NHK have reported.
As a result, China’s industrial activity is at a standstill.
②
To the extent that industrial activity has come to a standstill, China’s one-party Communist dictatorship is desperately trying to prevent infection by the novel coronavirus by exercising a level of coercive power unimaginable in a democratic country.
③
As a result of the combination of the two above, production activity in China is now stopped.
The greatest responsibility for the fact that infected persons have begun appearing one after another inside Japan lies with opposition parties such as the Constitutional Democratic Party and the Communist Party.
At a time when measures to prevent infection from entering Japan had to be considered as national policy, they continued attacking the government with the absurdly contrived issue of the “Cherry Blossom Viewing Party,” thereby tying the government’s hands.
The sin of media outlets such as NHK is also great.
When the opponent is the government, they criticize the government relentlessly, as they did during the Moritomo and Kake scandals.
They do so even if the criticism is fabricated.
Yet, for some reason, they hardly ever criticize the opposition parties.
On the contrary, it is no exaggeration to say that they allow the opposition parties to use television media.
It is an obvious fact that their behavior created Japan’s lost 20 or 30 years and allowed China and South Korea to become increasingly arrogant.
Programs such as Watch 9 not only failed even once to admonish the opposition parties by saying, “Now is not the time to be doing such things,”
but rather, Arima and Kuwako commented with expressions showing that attacking the government was their true desire, happily saying things such as, “A Diet debate over the Cherry Blossom Viewing Party unfolded.”
I have mentioned several times that it is no exaggeration to say that the Constitutional Democratic Party is a proxy party for the Korean Peninsula and China.
Since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus in Wuhan at the end of last year, it is no exaggeration to say that their words and actions were intended to divert the eyes of the Japanese people from this matter,
that is, to prevent the Japanese people from directing a stern gaze toward the Chinese government, by repeatedly asking truly foolish questions about issues such as the “Cherry Blossom Viewing Party.”
Thus, the culprits who created the greatest cause of the domestic spread of this virus are, first, the Constitutional Democratic Party, and second, the mass media that sympathized with it and devoted themselves to attacking the administration.
Speaking of my home prefecture of Miyagi, there are the people around Ishinomaki who elected a complete fool like Jun Azumi as a member of the Diet, giving him an effective annual income of about 50 million yen,
and there are the people of the Sendai district, my very own hometown, who, in last year’s House of Councillors election—just as the first presidential primary of the U.S. Democratic Party ended with no winner being declared—sent a former female announcer to the Diet by such a narrow margin that, properly speaking, the election should have been redone.
All the people throughout Japan who voted for opposition parties such as the Constitutional Democratic Party and the Communist Party are culprits in the spread of infection.
Added to them are the pro-China bureaucrats nesting in Kasumigaseki.
Even North Korea quickly closed its border with China.
It is the negligence of Kasumigaseki, or rather,
the result of countless pro-China elements existing in political circles, the bureaucracy, the media, and among so-called intellectuals, that has produced the current spread of infection, the pandemic.
