The reason the media, with the exception of the Sankei Shimbun, as well as politicians and business leaders, respond timidly to the evils of China, a country under the one-party dictatorship of the Communist Party, is that China is a nation of 1.3 billion people and presents itself as the world’s second-largest economy (although no one knows the actual state of affairs).
The Asahi Shimbun apparently described Commander Soleimani, one of Iran’s rulers, as “a man of noble poverty.”
It is no exaggeration to say that I am the only person in Japan who has made clear that it was the Asahi Shimbun that drove Japan into deflation.
At that time, too, the Asahi Shimbun invoked “the philosophy of noble poverty.”
At that time, Japan’s GDP was 550 trillion yen, and that of the United States was 750 trillion yen.
Now, more than twenty years later, Prime Minister Abe has worked with tremendous vigor to halt the precipitous decline, but even so, Japan’s GDP is not much different from what it was then.
Meanwhile, the GDP of the United States is 2,336 trillion yen (at 109 yen to the dollar).
In other words, since then, the American economy has grown to more than three times its size, while the Japanese economy has only just been restored to where it was more than twenty years ago.
The Asahi Shimbun has not only inflicted enormous damage on Japan and the Japanese people through various fabricated reports concerning the Nanjing Massacre, the military comfort women, and other matters, but has also inflicted astronomical losses on the economy.
Now, to the main point.
Asahi, if you speak of the philosophy of noble poverty, then your attitude of being blinded by economic considerations, turning a blind eye to China’s many evils, and not merely continuing to overlook them but continuing to side with them, is a complete contradiction.
If the philosophy of noble poverty is Asahi’s philosophy, then you must call upon not only Japan but the world to fight China’s many evils in the spirit of noble poverty.
What does the Asahi Shimbun embody?
It demonstrates that pseudo-moralism is indeed a lie, and that political correctness and the like are also utter lies.
The same is true of the international community that has aligned itself with the Asahi Shimbun.
