The testimony of former commanders revealed how China’s ambitions extend beyond military power into media manipulation and historical falsification.
Japan’s vulnerability lies in an information space long shaped by ideologically compromised media, led by the Asahi Shimbun.

The three former commanders of the maritime, air, and ground forces spoke candidly about the realities of national defense.

Their accounts vividly illustrated the circumstances under which Japan finally passed legislation in the Diet—seventy years after the war—to acknowledge the universally recognized rights of self-defense and collective self-defense held by every nation in the world.

A one-party dictatorship driven by communist ideology has not only arrogantly falsified historical truth to realize its ambitions, but in the South China Sea has destroyed vast coral reefs, reclaimed countless rocks, and attempted to turn the area into its own territorial waters, brazenly ignoring international law in pursuit of its objectives.

In the East China Sea, the same regime has declared the Senkaku Islands to be its own territory, probing Japan’s vulnerabilities from the sea and air on a daily basis, and even allowing its official newspaper, the People’s Daily, to state ambitions extending to Okinawa.

Almost in perfect synchronization, Governor Onaga emerged in Okinawa.

It has already become a historical fact that Okinawa’s two local newspapers—widely regarded as even worse than the Iwate edition of the Asahi Shimbun, once described internally as “the Red Flag and Asahi combined”—played a decisive role in shaping that outcome.

The Iwate edition formed the intellectual foundation of playwright Hisashi Inoue, whose belief in the absurd claim that more than two million Koreans were forcibly taken to Japan—an assertion fit only for a kindergarten-level mind—was clearly revealed in a Weekly Asahi dialogue with Kenzaburō Ōe, who nodded along without objection.

Figures such as these, along with politicians like Mizuho Fukushima who label minimum defensive legislation as “war bills” or “Nazi laws,” students who read nothing but Asahi Shimbun, and suddenly emerging academics with strikingly hostile expressions, have in effect been commandeered by Chinese and Korean interests.

Japan, one of the rare countries in the world without a CIA-equivalent intelligence organization, thus stands exposed.
Manipulating those who chant slogans like “war legislation” is, in truth, child’s play for China and Korea.

Because once the media—led by the Asahi Shimbun—has been ideologically captured, everything else falls into place.
