The US is trying to use Japan as a proxy to attack China just like it is using Ukraine as a proxy to attack Russia.
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has become a prime minister, receiving support from the US as he publicly promised that he would remove from a position of LDP Secretary General Mr. Toshihiro Nikai who is pro-China. After becoming a prime minister, PM Kishida was threatened by the US with the Unification Church scandal. So, he has become completely obedient to the US.
[Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and US President Joe Biden]
PM Kishida has decided that Japan should possess offensive weapons, violating Japan's pacifist constitution. He has also decided to double Japan's defense budget and, for that purpose, to impose tax increase.
The Japanese government has decided to develop long-range cruise missiles and procure Tomahawk cruise missiles from the US. A new missile bases have been constructed along the Ryukyu Islands of Okinawa Prefecture including Ishigaki-jima island that is located only 300 kilometers to Taiwan.
Just like it did in Sino-Japanese War and the Second World War, Japan is embarking upon military aggression toward China without repenting at all its past war crimes.
However, despite all these reckless and outrageous moves of the Japanese government, a large scale opposition and protest of the Japanese people doesn't happen. The Japanese people are acquiescent and even obedient to the US.
Why is that?
It is mainly due to Japan's media that spread biased disinformation and misinformation among the Japanese people, implanting false notions of "China threat" and "Japan's critical national security situation endangered by China, North Korea and Russia".
Japanese media such as major TV stations and news papers are under control of the US. TBS and the Mainichi Shimbun are pro-US Democratic Party. NTV and the Yomiuri Shimbun are pro-US whether Democratic party or Republican party. Fuji TV and the Sankei Shimbun are pro-US Republican Party and pro-Japanese Conservatives. TV Asahi and the Asahi Shimbun are pro-US although it is pretending to be liberal. NHK is obedient and pandering to the authority whether US or Japanese. In other words, Japanese media are a propaganda machine for the US.
Also, the Japanese people as a race have a tendency not to seek for facts of the reality. Instead, they tend to follow and be harmonious to surrounding people. They don't form individual independent thoughts based upon observation of facts of the reality and value systems. They feel content as long as surrounding people are cordial and amiable even if Japan is going toward a war of aggression.
However, this is a path to ruin and destruction of Japan itself because if Japan attacks China in such a case of Taiwan crisis, China will retaliate most severely and violently with all her might.
Japanese media is spreading misinformation that, in case of conflict between China and Japan, China would attack only Ryukyu islands of Okinawa Prefecture. No way! In case of conflict, China will attack Tokyo first of all just like the US attacked Tokyo first of all in the Second World War. It's a common sense of military operations.
Thereafter, launching ballistic missiles and cruise missiles, China will attack all military bases, all weapon factories, oil and gas storage tanks, power stations, railways, highways and communication networks in Japan so that Japan would not be able to continue fighting. If Japan attacks China, China's retaliation will be enormous, thorough, rapid and saturated, not gradual or cautious, and Japan will be ruined and destroyed completely.
In the first place, there is no China threat. China will never attack Japan as long as Japan does not attack China. That's the fact of the reality. China wants to maintain peaceful and stable relations with Japan because it is good for both China and Japan. The Communist Party of China and the Chinese government's policy is "people-first". Therefore, they seek for peace, not a war.
In late March, Senior Chinese diplomat Wang Yi met with former Japanese prime minister Yasuo Fukuda. Wang praised Fukuda for his contributions to China-Japan friendship over the years and hoped more people in Japan would play a positive role in improving China-Japan relations.
[Former Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda and Senior Chinese diplomat Wang Yi]
Wang stated that China hopes Japan will return to the four China-Japan political documents, paving the way for the two countries' relationship and exchanges in various sectors to be revitalized.
What is important is for the Japanese people to know facts of the reality. But, we can't expect Japanese mainstream media to report facts to the Japanese people. Therefore, efforts should be made to spread facts of the reality to the Japanese people. Disinformation and misinformation of propaganda must be overwhelmed by facts.
Under these circumstances, Japanese ex-TV anchors and ex-TV staffs can start internet TV programs in which true facts of the reality on China and situation of East Asia will be reported and provided to the Japanese audience.
For example, Mr. Ichiro Furutachi was famous for his objective and critical attitude toward right-wing tendency of Japanese politics when he was an anchor of evening TV news program.
[Mr. Ichiro Furutachi]
In 2016, he reported about the danger of a provision on national emergency that LDP was mulling to include into the Japanese Constitution, correctly telling that insertion of a provision on national emergency to the Japanese Constitution would pave the way to dictatorship just like insertion of a provision on national emergency to the Weimar Constitution of Germany lead to Hitler dictatorship of Nazi Germany.
Mr. Furutachi left the program after the reporting. Also, reportedly, staffs including a producer on the reporting left the TV station.
Under the current critical juncture, Mr. Furutachi and his TV staffs can start an internet TV program in which true facts of the reality on China and situation of East Asia will be reported to the Japanese audience so that Japan's joining intervention in Taiwan crisis and attacking China would be prevented.
Or, perhaps, Mr. Furutachi, making the most of his own experiences as an anchor, can be an executive producer and organize ex-anchors and ex-TV staffs to start an internet TV program in which true facts of the reality on China and situation of East Asia will be reported.
Japanese companies whose major sales and income are from the Chinese market such as Nidec Corporation (日本電産), Panasonic, TOYOTA, TDK and so on will provide sponsorships to Mr. Furutachi's internet news program. Also donations will be provided to the program from peace-loving Japanese people.
Currently, the Internet has become main information sources for many Japanese people. So, an internet TV news program can be very influential and effective.
As for news contents, Mr. Furutachi's news program can cooperate with China's CGTN (China Global Television Network) to receive permission so that Mr. Furutachi's program can use CGTN's news clips.
CGTN is providing 24/7 English news program through the Internet for free. CGTN's news program "The World Today" reports extensive world news at every top of the hour. Mr. Furutachi's news program can translate CGTN's English news into Japanese language and use them.
CGTN's news reporting is very objective and fair with full of facts. Also, as China is growing and advancing rapidly, most news are forward-looking, bright and healthy, which makes viewers pleasant, compared to contents of Japanese news programs which are glum, gloomy, and pessimistic. Therefore, Japanese viewers who are fed up with Japanese biased news programs would very much welcome Mr. Furutachi's news program.
Most of CGTN's news are world news, covering every part of the world ranging from Asia, Africa, Europe, North America, Central America, South America to Pacific regions.
CGTN's foreign correspondents are very excellent and international. Instead of sending Chinese reporters to various regions, CGTN recruits and employs local reporters who know every nook and cranny to report each region's news. So, their reporting are superb.
For example, as for Eastern Europe, Mr. Aljoša Milenković reports.
As for Turkey, Ms. Michal Bardavid reports.
As for DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo), Mr. Chris Ocamringa reports.
As for France, Mr. Ross Cullen reports.
As for Russia, Ms. Dasha Chernyshova reports.
As for the US, Mr. Nathan King reports among others.
Also, correspondents who are specialized in each region provide reporting.
For example, Mr. Stuart Smith reports from Russia.
Mr. Furutachi's program can translate and use these correspondents' reporting to provide facts of the world reality to the Japanese audience.
In addition, Mr. Furutachi's program can translate and broadcast CGTN's programs such as follows:
CGTN's China 24 reports mainly focusing on China's domestic news.
In CGTN's World Insight with Tien Wei, Ms. Tien Wei ask direct questions to prominent people of the world.
In CGTN's The Point with Liu Xin, Ms. Liu Xin interviews key persons of the latest topics.
In CGTN's The Heat, debates are made on the hottest themes.
In addition to Mr. Furutachi's program, ex-anchors and ex-staffs of TBS news programs can start an internet TV news program too.
Providing facts of the reality to Japanese audience will enable the Japanese people to think independently without being brainwashed by propaganda of Japanese mainstream media. It will prevent Japan from joining intervention in Taiwan crisis, enhance mutual understanding between the Chinese people and the Japanese people and thereby solidify stable, friendly and mutually prosperous relations of China and Japan.
Thank you.
