The chapter transmitted on 01/01/2021 entitled Without the Imperial Army; we would not have been able to take power.
It had suffered a criminal act of search and seizure interference.
I am re-submitting it.
The following is from an article by Editorial Writer Masato Inui that appeared on the front page of today's Sankei Shimbun under the title "Don't Help the Chinese Communist Party Anymore.
The emphasis in the text, except for the headline, is mine.
I am sorry to tell you this trivial story so early in the New Year, but I have been an emphatic "pro-China" person.
Forty years ago, the foreign language I chose for my university entrance examination was Chinese.
Out of youthful indiscretion, I eagerly listened to a Chinese course on NHK radio. I wanted to show off the results of attending a citizen's class taught by a former Communist Party member (partly because I was not good at English).
At the time, few high school students would have done such a foolish thing. Still, the modest textbook at the public lectures included a section on "Red-Legged Medical Students" (doctors who toured the countryside with minimal medical knowledge. However, I still remember the story of the "red-legged medical student" (a doctor who patrolled the country with minimal medical experience, which Mao Zedong encouraged during the Cultural Revolution).
I was a "pro-China" person.
There was some calculation that China would eventually become a superpower on par with the U.S. and that mastering the Chinese language would be a boon. Still, China developed much faster than the dreams of a childish high school student.
I never imagined that it would become a dystopia (the opposite of an ideal world) where freedom and democracy have nothing to do with each other.
What woke me up from my reverie was the Tiananmen Square incident of June 4, 1989.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) mobilized its forces to fire bullets at citizens and students demanding freedom mercilessly and suppressed them.
The exact number of casualties is still unknown.
As a reporter following Prime Minister Uno Sosuke's every move at the time, I was very disappointed that he did not say anything about the incident.
I wrote in my diary, "This man is not fit to be prime minister.
On the contrary, on the day of the incident, the Foreign Ministry had prepared a document opposing the joint imposition of Western countries' sanctions, a diplomatic document released last month revealed.
The fact that Japan consistently tried to moderate sanctions at the Arush Summit held in July also became apparent.
It has been 30 years since the eastern nations moved away from the Soviet yoke one after another after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Soviet Communist Party's one-party dictatorship.
It would have been no surprise if the Tiananmen Square incident had triggered the collapse of the Chinese Communist Party's one-party dictatorship.
It was Japan that saved the dying Communist Party.
Japan also quickly resumed economic cooperation in the name of "not letting China become isolated.
Is History Repeating Itself?
Japan saved the Chinese Communist Party even during the war.
Before his death, Mao Zedong always replied to Japanese dignitaries who visited China with the following words: "I am sorry for China's invasion by the Japanese army.
"There is nothing to be sorry about. Japanese militarism has brought great benefits to China. Without the Imperial Army, we would not have been able to take power."
A little explanation is needed.
Mao Zedong, who had fallen to Yan'an after routing to the National Revolutionary Army led by Chiang Kai-shek, came back to life because the Japanese army entered a full-scale war with the National Revolutionary Army in 1937, and Chiang Kai-shek had no choice but to go to the First United Front.
The Communist army, which had dwindled to 25,000 in defeat after defeat, swelled to 1.2 million by the end of the war eight years later and later defeated the Nationalist-Communist civil war.
In particular, there is a theory that the modern weapons of the Japanese army that were handed over to the Communist forces determined the war's outcome.
In other words, the military during the war and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after the war "helped the Chinese Communist Party.
Although the new coronavirus has transformed the world, we should not forget that the authorities' concealment of information triggered a pandemic when the first outbreak occurred in Wuhan, China.
The state controls all personal information, and "dangerous people" seek freedom are mercilessly thrown into jails and camps.
The Japanese government and the Diet are turning a blind eye to the reality that the oppression in Tibet and Uyghur has started to be carried out openly in Hong Kong.
Once again, China is trying to soften Japan's hand to break the "anti-China alliance" of the Western countries.
The first step in this direction is President Xi Jinping's visit to Japan as a state guest.
Japan has saved the dying Chinese Communist Party twice.
It must not happen a third time.
If there are any politicians or bureaucrats who favor Xi Jinping's visit to Japan, they are real traitors.'
There is no doubt that I write it as a "pro-Chinese."
