Last year, on November 7, Prime Minister Takaichi told the House of Representatives Budget Committee that a Taiwan contingency could constitute a “situation threatening Japan’s survival”—a perfectly natural statement and a direct restatement of the government’s position set out in Japan’s official documents.
At that time, Xue Jian, the Chinese consul general in Osaka, posted the following words on X on November 8, 2025, and it is an undeniable fact that most Japanese people felt anger from the bottom of their hearts at what he said.
“That dirty neck that has come barging in uninvited must be cut off without a moment’s hesitation. Are you prepared for that?”… The post was also accompanied by an angry-face emoji.
NHK Osaka has a news program called Hotto Kansai, which airs shortly after six in the evening.
Naturally, people outside Osaka or the Kinki region would probably have no way of knowing about it.
Even now, a certain middle-aged woman appears on this program as a female presenter for two or three consecutive days toward the end of the week.
It goes without saying that NHK Osaka employees are, in practice, national public servants.
It is also well known that they receive some of the highest salaries in Japan.
It is an undeniable fact that these salaries are, in effect, paid from the people’s taxes under the name of a viewing fee.
This happened on a broadcast after the remarks by Xue Jian, the Chinese consul general in Osaka, mentioned above.
At the time, this middle-aged woman’s face was covered with spots… Perhaps my criticism had an effect, because the spots are no longer noticeable… I do not know whether she had them removed by laser treatment or some other procedure, or whether she conceals them with makeup… Well, none of that matters.
But what I can say is that even in the news programs of the respective countries of the people who control NHK Osaka’s news department—which, it is no exaggeration to say, is effectively a Chinese or South Korean state broadcaster—young female presenters may appear, although I suspect they are probably all beauties who have had cosmetic surgery, but a person like her would never appear.
The only comparable woman who might appear is, as far as I know, the North Korean woman who praises the Supreme Leader in that strangely high-pitched voice—although I do not know whether she still appears these days.
Most Japanese people probably still do not know what this middle-aged woman at NHK Osaka said… I suspect she is connected with a labor union or is a union member…
If this column had not been subjected to search interference and had still been receiving more than 30,000 searches and more than 3,000 visitors a day on the goo blog, I think the statement would have reached a considerable number of Japanese people.
“Consul General Xue Jian apparently is a good person…”
First of all, when I heard this remark by this middle-aged woman—the female presenter—my jaw almost dropped.
But the outrageous conduct, anti-Japanese stance, and betrayal of the country by NHK Osaka did not stop there.
As proof that Xue Jian, the Chinese consul general in Osaka, is a good person, this woman devoted a long segment to a so-called university professor whom nobody in Japan knows—a man who gave the impression of being a feeble old man who had never amounted to much—and let him speak at length about what a good person Consul General Xue Jian is.
Rather than merely making my jaw drop, this display of the true nature of NHK Osaka’s news department nearly made me fall out of my chair.
Taking advantage of the fact that most of the public does not know… TBS’s Sunday Morning is a commercial broadcast, so that female presenter called Zenba, a disgrace to the University of Tokyo, and the worthless commentators who, it is no exaggeration to say, are traitors—especially the women—can go on broadcasting their contemptible program every Sunday until TBS goes under, or until the Japanese people someday bring the hammer down on it and it is taken off the air, or whatever else may happen.
But NHK Osaka’s people are, in practice, national public servants working for a state broadcaster.
Moreover, they are among the highest-paid people in Japan.
The woman mentioned above has suffered no censure and has been held to no account; even now, she calmly presides over this news program as a presenter for several days toward the end of the week.
The other day, when I happened to have the channel on, I was also astonished to hear her say “a serious Tigers fan…” to a young female employee in charge of the sports segment.
That was because it demonstrated that she is a person whose command of language itself is questionable.
Such a program continues to exist, without apparent concern, in Osaka, a city that is not only Japan’s second-largest but also one of the world’s major metropolises.
