A sharp critique of the corruption of Japan’s old media and politics under the influence of China and South Korea’s honey traps.
By invoking the words of an elderly Ukrainian woman—“Better to die than become Putin’s slave”—this essay exposes the darkness of Japan’s pro-China faction and decayed media, reflecting on the nation’s present and its future.
A Critique of the Influence of China and South Korea over the Old Media and the Reality of Honey Traps —Contrasted with the Words of an Elderly Ukrainian Woman— August 20, 2025
Last night, in order not to miss World Sports MLB at 22:45, I turned on the television and tuned into NHK BS1 a little after 22:00.
A program titled International Report Special appeared.
In the past, I used to watch this program almost every day, because among the news programs produced by NHK reporters, this one contained the most reasonable elements.
But recently, I rarely watch it.
Even when I do, it is only for that initial reason.
Why don’t I watch it anymore?
Because it would not be an exaggeration to say that those who dominate NHK’s news division are operatives of China and the Korean Peninsula.
As my readers know, I have resolved never to visit South Korea or China as long as they continue their Nazi-like anti-Japanese indoctrination—the worst and ugliest in human history.
That someone like me is extremely rare is self-evident.
It requires no verification to say that everyone dominating NHK’s news division has visited South Korea and China.
China invites, under various official pretexts, influential figures from all walks of life in Japan to visit the country.
With very few exceptions—such as those who once had bosses like Takahashi Yōichi or Shizuka Kamei, who were well-versed in China’s true nature—almost everyone has fallen victim to China’s honey traps.
The only politician I know who never succumbed, even without such mentors, was Shinzo Abe.
This is why China, through the Komeito party (now nothing more than a traitorous entity) and pro-China members within the LDP—those easily ensnared—along with NHK and other TV stations, Asahi and other newspapers, and Kyodo News, is desperately working to block the birth of a Takaichi administration, which the majority of the Japanese people long for.
This alone proves that Sanae Takaichi, like Shinzo Abe, is one of the rare politicians who never succumbed to China’s traps.
It has even been reported, as an undeniable fact, that a Chinese official once boasted, “Honey traps are a tactic as cheap yet as effective as nuclear weapons.”
Why are honey traps so powerful?
Because China invites politicians, scholars, and reporters under government sponsorship.
If one is known as a heavy drinker, the outcome is almost certain.
A man wakes up to find a beautiful stranger beside him in bed—and his fate is sealed, for the entire episode has been secretly recorded by hidden cameras in the room.
For a politician, the exposure of such footage in the Japanese media would instantly end his career.
Any true statesman would resign and sincerely apologize to his wife, recognizing it as his life’s greatest lapse.
But those maneuvering to choose, as LDP president and thus Prime Minister of Japan, figures aligned with China’s wishes are not statesmen at all.
They are mere political operators—China’s puppets, moving in perfect conformity with Beijing’s intentions.
Some among them may once have aspired to statesmanship, but for most, the goal became simply to win elections and enjoy the privileges of Diet membership.
This was made clear when, under Fumio Kishida’s direction, the Ishiba administration was brought forth—a regime that epitomized decline.
For them, Kishida’s instructions equaled China’s will—a tacit understanding, a silent agreement in their political world.
These political operators, along with the decrepit old media, all move in line with the Ministry of Finance as well.
Who can say that every MOF official, if confronted in his hotel room by a beauty resembling his favorite actress, would escape the trap—unless he had the rare fortune of a mentor like Takahashi Yōichi?
And so, Japan fell into ruin, as shown by the birth of the Ishiba regime, an outcome so disastrous that it signified the very end of the nation.
Since Abe’s assassination, the collapse of Japan has proceeded like an avalanche, revealed in the behavior of political hacks and the old media alike.

September 29, 2025.
Normally, the old media, which treats the University of Tokyo and its professors as sacrosanct, was until recently united in fawning over a man of intelligence quotient level 35.
Nothing was more disgraceful than their behavior.
It is evident that the people most desiring this man as Prime Minister are, first and foremost, China and the Ministry of Finance.
As in the previous LDP leadership election, this man made the inevitable blunder and fell out.
Now, in the event of a runoff, Kishida seems intent on backing Hayashi—the representative of the pro-China camp.
Even the Sankei Shimbun today splashed Hayashi’s name across its front page.
If Japan’s old media is so incapable of resisting China and the Ministry of Finance, then they are nothing less than traitors.
Against such men, only figures like Kūkai or Nobunaga, transcending time and space, could shout a thunderous katsu! to save Japan and the world.
In earlier times, there was a notorious saying among such political hacks: “The lighter the mikoshi, the better.”
Kaifu Toshiki, who became Prime Minister by such logic, contributed nothing but harm to the nation.
Today, Kishida Fumio, who ushered in the worst regime in history—the Ishiba administration—represents that same type.
Given the undeniable harm he has inflicted, it is no exaggeration to call them traitors and betrayers of the nation.

August 20, 2025.
The reason I began writing this essay was the words spoken in last night’s news program by an elderly Ukrainian woman, living in a Russian-speaking region now under constant Russian assault.
Her words lingered in me:
“We speak Russian, but it is better to die than to live as Putin’s slaves.”
Such words could never be heard from the Chinese, whom Lu Xun—the greatest writer and philosopher China ever produced—denounced as “forever slaves.”
No doubt, individuals of similar courage and intellect exist.
But in China today, where Orwell’s nightmare society has been realized, not a single voice can utter such words.
Why then are pro-China politicians, beginning with Komeito, allowing masses of such people—subjugated under Xi Jinping’s National Intelligence Law, the epitome of the nightmare surveillance state—unlimited entry into Japan?
The very situation proves how grotesque and degraded Japan’s postwar media truly is.
What follows is an exchange with a close friend regarding a certain incident at Shukan Shincho.
I replied: “Ah, that must be because the founder’s daughter—a pseudo-moralist with leftist inclinations—has seized power.
She despises the magazine’s flagship serialized column.
I read speculation long ago that Shukan Shincho might even face discontinuation.
She probably seized upon Fukazawa’s protest, or perhaps colluded with him, using Takayama’s recent essay as the perfect excuse.”
In any case, for me, this marks the end of my long subscription to Shukan Shincho.
Inevitably, this weekly will tread the path toward closure.
My friend said: “I wonder if we could get Mr. Takayama to write regularly here.
It’s a pity we cannot offer much in return…”
I answered: “Indeed.
But what if, the moment we receive his manuscript, we immediately publish it in the world’s major languages?”
To be continued.
