Based on a work by Keiko Kawasoe, this essay discusses Vice President Mike Pence’s speeches, the regime change in U.S.–China relations, the Trump administration’s shift in its view of China, and the Chinese Communist Party’s influence operations inside the United States.
It further cites Steve Bannon’s lecture in Japan to warn that the Chinese Communist Party’s “red fangs” are reaching into Japan as well, and sharply criticizes Diet members and NHK’s news department for lacking any sense of national crisis.

For lawmakers who are interested only in continuing to wear their Diet members’ badges and who lack any sense of national crisis, I would like to ask them, before long, to “leave” Nagatacho.
At the recommendation of a friend who is one of the most well-read people I know, I am now reading the following book, and after reading only the first few pages, I became convinced that NHK is completely under the influence operations of the Chinese Communist Party.
Mayuko Wakuda, who will become the anchor of Watch 9 from April, is, at least formally, a graduate of the Faculty of Economics at the University of Tokyo.
Fusae Ota graduated at the top of the Faculty of Economics at the University of Tokyo, became a section chief at the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, then Governor of Osaka Prefecture, and then a Liberal Democratic Party Diet member; she is Wakuda’s great senior.
Therefore, Wakuda should at least have the ability to realize that the people now controlling NHK’s news department, the left-wing documentary makers parasitizing NHK, and political operators such as those in the Constitutional Democratic Party, are under Chinese influence operations.
If, in fact, she has only the ability required for entrance-examination study, and not only cannot understand the truth of matters at all, but has already been brainwashed by her superiors, then all the more reason she must rush to the nearest bookstore to buy the book below.
Only after that should she work as an anchor on Watch 9.
Conversely, without reading this book, she must not call herself an anchor and comment on politics.
If she does not read it, she must make no comments whatsoever and report only the facts.
The author, Keiko Kawasoe, is one of the leading journalists of our time.
It is a book that not only the Japanese people but people all over the world must read.
In this essay, not only the preceding passage but also large portions of the middle have been omitted, but needless to say, all of those parts too are essential reading.
I urge the Japanese people to go to their nearest bookstore and purchase the book.
Those in the international community who have taken at face value the anti-Japanese propaganda of China and South Korea should recognize the truth through this essay.
The “G2 Era” Became a Dead Phrase Within a Few Years
Then, on October 24, 2019, Vice President Mike Pence delivered a speech hosted by the renowned think tank the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C., and that speech contained content declaring a regime change in U.S.–China relations.
“As President Trump has often said, over the past 25 years, our country rebuilt China.
That is exactly right, and that era is over.
As history will show, in less than three years President Trump has changed that story forever.
America and its leaders will no longer hope that economic engagement alone will transform Communist China’s authoritarian state into a free and open society that respects private property, the rule of law, and international rules of commerce.”
In other words, he implicitly criticized the opaque and “treasonous honeymoon relationship” with the Chinese Communist Party maintained by America’s panda huggers—left-wing Jews and pro-China profiteers, among others—and declared that the era of leaving that relationship alone was “over.”
America, Which Has Fought Communist Thought
For the long years after the war, what had America been fighting?
It made the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, which upheld communism, its enemy, and while checking each other through nuclear development, fought against communist ideology.
In November 1989, the Berlin Wall, the symbol of the East–West Cold War that had divided Germany into East and West, finally collapsed, and the Soviet satellite states, including the former Eastern Europe and the Mongolian People’s Republic, were democratized one after another.
The Soviet Union also collapsed in December 1991 and was dissolved into the Russian Republic and others.
At that point, 30 years ago, Western society, that is, the capitalist countries, were considered to have “won victory over communism.”
However, in reality, a huge communist state still continued to exist on the earth.
Needless to say, that state is the People’s Republic of China, under the one-party dictatorship of the Chinese Communist Party.
Against the great power America, which holds the values of “freedom and democracy,” including freedom of religion, “equality under the law,” and “human rights,” the Xi Jinping regime has not merely failed to share those values; along with the strengthening of its military and economic power, it has further advanced the concentration of power and intensified its dictatorial character.
At the “Celebration of the 40th Anniversary of Reform and Opening-Up of the Chinese Communist Party,” held on December 18, 2018, President Xi Jinping loudly proclaimed the following.
“The Communist Party leads everything, and we will continuously strengthen and improve that leadership.
The 40 years of practice in reform and opening-up demonstrate that the leadership of the Communist Party is the greatest advantage of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics.”
“We will uphold the guiding position of Marxism, take practice as the foundation, and continuously promote theoretical innovation.
Developing 21st-century Marxism and contemporary Marxism is an inescapable historical responsibility of today’s Chinese Communist Party members.”
“We will certainly continue to expand openness, continuously promote a community of shared future for mankind, and build it together.”
As this speech indicates, in recent years the Chinese Communist Party has devoted itself not only domestically but also to the “redization operations” of the United States.
This can also be seen from the opening of Vice President Pence’s nearly 50-minute speech delivered on October 4, 2018, at the prominent conservative think tank the Hudson Institute in Washington, D.C.
“The Chinese government is using political, economic, and military means, as well as propaganda, to increase its influence over the United States and to carry out an offensive to gain its own interests within America.
It is taking unprecedented proactive measures and concentrating its efforts on an offensive to influence and interfere in America’s domestic policies and political activities.”
Steve Bannon, former Chief Strategist and Senior Counselor to the President, who made an urgent visit to Japan in March 2019, also said with a serious expression, “The Trump administration is an administration for taking back national sovereignty.”
Bannon probably used this expression out of a sense of crisis over the situation in which China’s “red fangs” had penetrated even into American politics, the military, corporations, and academia.
At the same time, I also sensed a strong will to convey this to Japan, an ally that is being violated in the same way, before it becomes too late.
Bannon warned, “If things continue this way, within five or ten years Japan will become a branch-and-leaf place of the Chinese Communist Party,” and “the politics of each country will become a liaison office, and the people will be reduced to slave laborers.”
He sounded the alarm that, if no measures are taken, the Marxist Xi regime, which dreams of simultaneous world revolution, will bring Japan under its control as well and turn it into a subordinate state.
This lecture was heard by several dozen Diet members, including ministers.
For lawmakers who are interested only in continuing to wear their Diet members’ badges and who lack any sense of national crisis, I would like to ask them, before long, to “leave” Nagatacho.
