This article reveals that Chinese-American organizations, not Korean groups, systematically led anti-Japan historical propaganda in the United States through academia and political lobbying during the 1990s.

What does it mean to continue paying a monthly subscription fee of roughly 5,000 yen to read newspapers such as the Asahi Shimbun or the Mainichi Shimbun.
It means accepting reporting in which, bluntly speaking, even basic facts are absent.
It also means accepting journalism that has been fully absorbed into propaganda operations conducted by one-party communist dictatorships and by the South Korean government and its intelligence agencies, which in reality function as a form of Nazism.
I have repeatedly pointed this out.
To learn the truth, one must instead pay an average of only about 800 yen to subscribe to monthly magazines.
The excerpt below proves the correctness of my argument one hundred percent.
This is because both you and I are learning these facts for the first time from this very article.
Facts, that is, genuine truth, fill this issue as well.
And it costs only 780 yen.
That is precisely why you must subscribe without hesitation.
By doing so, instead of endlessly staring at a smartphone screen, you will acquire the knowledge you must have and develop sound judgment as a person living in the twenty-first century.
The magazine quoted here is aptly titled Seiron, meaning “Sound Argument.”
The following passage is taken from a special dialogue feature spanning eight pages in three-column format, titled “The Comfort Women Issue as a Chinese Plot,” between journalist Michael Yon and journalist Yoshihisa Komori.
Komori explains further his earlier remark that China has been the principal actor behind the comfort women issue in the United States.
The issue was first raised in the United States when an organization called the Washington Coalition for Comfort Women Issues was established in December 1992 by a small number of Korean residents in the United States.
Subsequently, a Chinese-American organization known as the Global Alliance for Preserving the True History of the Anti-Japanese War was established in California and began conducting anti-Japan lobbying activities.
Notably, the timing of the emergence of these organizations coincided with the period when Japan issued the Kono Statement and the Murayama Statement.
This was the moment when Japan began portraying its own history in an unjustifiably exaggerated and self-abasing manner.
In the United States, the comfort women issue then began to be widely discussed.
For example, in the mid-1990s, universities and research institutions in California held a series of symposiums on Japan’s wartime conduct.
These events condemned alleged atrocities by the Japanese military.
They ignored the fundamental fact that these issues had been settled by the San Francisco Peace Treaty.
They attacked contemporary Japan by claiming that the comfort women issue had never been resolved.
They asserted that Japan had neither reflected upon, apologized for, nor compensated for its actions.
They further claimed that Japan had not even acknowledged historical facts.
All of this constituted anti-Japanese propaganda that was entirely contrary to the facts.
Cases of American prisoners of war who had worked in Japanese mines during the war were also resurrected.
Regarding the so-called Nanjing Massacre, false claims were spread that the Japanese military had slaughtered 300,000 Chinese civilians.
It was also claimed that these killings were planned from the outset.
It was further alleged that the orders came from the Japanese Emperor.
These historically false narratives spread rapidly through symposiums and academic forums.
Frequently appearing at these events was then–California State Assemblyman Mike Honda.
With support from Chinese-American organizations, he became a member of the U.S. House of Representatives.
He then submitted a resolution demanding that Japan apologize over the comfort women issue.
That resolution was ultimately passed.
Congressman Honda was the central figure on the surface.
The true central force behind the scenes was the Chinese-American organization mentioned earlier.
These Chinese organizations consistently led these movements.
After the Kono Statement, South Korean groups also became active.
However, they were not unified and were smaller in scale compared to the Chinese organizations.
In Japan, however, a belief spread that Korean groups were the principal actors in the historical battle in the United States.
Many came to believe that the comfort women issue constituted the entirety of that battle.
We must not lose sight of the true mastermind.
It is also essential to recognize that not only the comfort women issue but also Nanjing and American prisoners of war have already been deployed as tools in this historical warfare.
