The following is a continuation of the previous chapter.
China is an arsonist pretending to be a firefighter.
In Japan, masks have disappeared from the streets in the blink of an eye since January.
In addition to the hoarding, this is because China has banned the export of domestically manufactured masks.
The U.S. "3M" and the Canadian "Medicom," which locally produced in China, are also under embargo.
President Trump got angry when he knew this.
After the national outbreaks had subsided, China donated masks, PPE, and testing kits for the new coronavirus and sent medical teams to countries where the outbreaks had spread in the opposite direction.
Masks have also been sent to Japan from Chinese companies, individuals, and local governments.
In Japan, such a move has been treated favorably in the press as "repaying China's debt of gratitude.
Many Japanese companies, local governments, and individuals indeed donated to China at the time of the outbreak of infection and explosion, so it is not unreasonable to say that this was a return of gratitude.
For example, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government is said to have sent at least 330,000 pieces of protective clothing to China.
But I was hoping you could think about it.
It was China that hid the infection spread while buying up masks and PPE around the world, driving countries to an extraordinary shortage of products.
That, too, is "by design," according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
That's what we learned from the U.S. and Canadian press, but it's just way too gullible that Japan is now accepting such a mask from China with gratitude.
The Chinese Communist Party's patronizing masked diplomacy was described by Michael Sobolik, a young fellow at the "American Foreign Policy Council" as 'an arsonist pretending to be a firefighter.'
It's a perfectly fitting phrase.
If a firefighter who was set up after the fact by a big organized operation, it is an "actor who is more than a firefighter."
Behind the scenes of the Great Calamity, the CPC was working cunning and conducting operations on a grand scale.
It's just like, "The Chinese Communists are terrifying.
Now, China has quickly escaped from the plague and is actively touting that it is "on the road to recovery.
But is that really the case?
A situation that is shaking the feet of the Chinese Communist Party is underway in the deepest reaches of the ruling class.
One after another, inside information that was supposed to be top secret has been leaked to the Western press.
Let me introduce you to a few of them.
The Associated Press reported on April 15 that top leaders of the Chinese Communist Party knew on January 14 that "an unusual plague was spreading in Wuhan." Still, President Xi Jinping did not move and only made a statement on the 20th.
It is based on internal Communist Party documents that were independently obtained.
Surprising internal document content
The delay is not limited to the last six days.
Before that, China's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) did not register a single outbreak of the disease, even though there were several hundred cases across China between Jan. 5 and 17.
Another note noted that "the cluster's case shows that 'human-to-human transmission is also possible,'" he said.
For more than two weeks, from January 5 to January 20, when Mr. Xi's official statement was issued, the Communist Party leadership had little or no accurate knowledge of the infection's true nature.
What was going on in mid-January?
Caixin, the Chinese media that had been vigorously reporting on the new pneumonia epidemic, published on January 15 that "radiologists found 50 new cases" at a Wuhan hospital (report of the Henry Jackson Society, a British think tank). Caixin is notorious for being an anti-government media outlet.
In other words, information about the infection was circulating in the country through the media, but the party leadership and bureaucracy were not aware of the real situation.
It in itself is surprising, but I note that such lousy facts were "exposed by the leaking of internal documents."
Let me list one more thing.
It's more important here.
Reuters reported on May 4 that a Chinese think tank warned that "the new coronavirus outbreak has caused China to face serious hostility that could lead to a military clash with the United States."
It, too, was a report based on internal documents.
This report was written by the China Institute of Contemporary International Relations (CICIR).
It's not just a think tank.
It is an outgrowth of the Ministry of National Security, which binds together the entirety of China's intelligence and security policy.
It was housed within the Department until 1980.
In other words, it is a "shadowy policymaking body" directly controlled by the party.
Reuters reached out to the National Security Agency for comment in writing the story, but it said it did not have a department to handle outside interviews.
It shows the closeness of the organization.
The report was submitted to top leaders, including State President Xi Jinping, through the Ministry of National Security in early April.
The content is as follows.
・ The anti-Chinese sentiment that has spread to the world due to the spread of the new coronavirus. It shows excitement since the Tiananmen Incident of 1989
・ As a result, China will face a massive wave of anti-China sentiment led by the United States after the infection is contained and will need to prepare for the worst-case scenario, including a military confrontation with the United States.
・ The U.S. views China's advances as an 'economic and security threat to Western democracies,' The U.S. aims to destroy the Chinese Communist Party's control of the country by eroding the Chinese people's confidence in the party.
・ Anti-Chinese sentiment, heightened by the spread of the new coronavirus, will intensify the backlash against China's 'One Belt, One Road' initiative. Therefore, if the United States stepped up its financial and military support to its allies, Asia's security environment would become even more fluid.
