The following is from a unique feature in the February issue of WiLL, titled "Xi Jinping's Dream is to Bring Japan to its Knees," in which Masayuki Takayama, the one and only journalist in the postwar world, and Junko Miyawaki, one of the world's leading scholars of Oriental history, discuss the dangers of a looming China (China Risk).
p130-p141
Xi Jinping's dream is to bring Japan to its knees.
He is full of ambition to achieve a feat neither Kublai Khan nor Stalin could accomplish.
All colored groups
Takayama
The anti-Xi Jinping protests that have spread throughout China are known as the "blank revolution.
Whenever a dynastic cycle occurred in China, it was triggered by peasant uprisings, such as the Yellow Turban Rebellion at the end of the Han Dynasty, the Red Turban Rebellion at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Li Zicheng Rebellion at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
Miyawaki
The Manchus, who destroyed the Ming, attacked with a social and military organization called the Eight Banner System (gulu suwayan, kubuhe suwayan, gulu šanyan, kubuhe šanyan, gulu fulgiyan, kubuhe fulgiyan, gulu lamun, kubuhe lamun) They are attacking with organizations.
Takayama
There are a lot of groups that are colored (laughs).
Miyawaki
The number and scale of this blank revolution are smaller.
But there are indeed people who are dissatisfied with Xi Jinping's policies.
The economy is stagnant, and unemployment is increasing due to the zero-corona policy.
Takayama.
The unemployment rate among young people is now at a record high of 19.9%.
Miyawaki
Students study hard and get into top universities, but there are few job opportunities.
It is no wonder that the anger is directed at the Xi Jinping regime.
Takayama
There were signs even before the Blank Revolution.
Three days before the opening of the Chinese Communist Party Congress, a banner reading "Dismiss the dictatorial pirate Xi Jinping" was hung on the Sitong Bridge in Beijing's Haidian District.
Moreover, it remains firmly on video.
In fact, the personnel announcement at the party congress was terrible.
The Communist Youth League faction members such as Li Keqiang, Wang Yang, and Hu Chunhua were wholly omitted from the list.
Miyawaki.
It is said that the initial intention was to keep them.
Takayama
Eventually, even Hu Jintao was kicked out of the venue.
It was a genuinely symbolic scene.
The party congress was tantamount to a declaration that the Chinese Communist Party had become a dictatorship controlled by Xi Jinping and his faction.
The people of China were voicing their opposition to such a dictatorship.
Seeing them raise a banner in full view of the public was a surprise.
What happened to the hundreds of millions of surveillance cameras and the police force that quickly overpowered them?
Miyawaki.
It would have been impossible for a single person to carry out such an action.
There must be a certain number of "anti-Xi Jinping" factions within the government.
Takayama
Power struggles within the Communist Party are an everyday occurrence. Still, the fact that the Chinese people are now voicing their opposition to the Communist regime, which had previously been forbidden, is a change that deserves attention.
Miyawaki.
At the time of the Tiananmen Square incident, there was no mention of the Communist regime.
Takayama
All they asked for was "democratization.
This time, however, it was different.
It is probably the first time we have heard such words of protest since the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949.
Moreover, Chinese students living in Japan, considered an offshoot of the People's Liberation Army in Japan, did it to stop the Communist Party.
Miyawaki.
It was at the west exit of Shinjuku Station.
Takayama.
China's National Defense Mobilization Law provides for military mobilization in an emergency.
If the government in China orders them to do something, they must obey it absolutely.
And this is no exception for Chinese people overseas.
Such people are saying, "Overthrow the Communist Party! Oppose the Xi Jinping regime! And "Oppose the Xi Jinping regime!
It is an extraordinary situation, isn't it?
Typical Chinese
Miyawaki
It must also consider another characteristic of the Chinese people.
Even if someone says, "I am against the Communist Party," we can't just take it as it is.
It is because Chinese people do not believe in the content of words.
There is no such thing as "verbatim" or "literally."
When Japanese people say "inseparable friendship" or "childhood friend," they mean that they have had an unchanging friendship since childhood and will never betray it for the rest of their lives, and they do it.
The Chinese, however, are different.
It is a commonplace for them to change sides depending on the situation at any given time.
Takayama.
There are two people whom I believe on my own that this is typical of the Chinese people.
One is Fang Boqian (1854-94. He studied at the Royal Naval College in England.)
He also studied at the Royal Naval College in England and was the only Chinese man considered an English gentleman.
After returning to Japan, he worked as Ding Ruochang's right-hand man.
During the Sino-Japanese War, he was the captain of the Chinese cruiser Jiyuan, which encountered three ships of the IJN's First Rangers, Yoshino, Akitsushima, and Naniwa, in the Battle of Teshima.
When the bombardment began, the Jiyuan hit, raised its white flag, and stopped the ship.
However, he waited for the Japanese ships to approach and fired two torpedoes and fugitives.
Naval officers take pride in being gentlemen who abide by international law.
It is an evil act that no one would believe, such as abusing international law to cheat and kill.
He lived his life in the typical way of the Han Chinese.
So, without being criticized by my family, he came out as captain of Jiyuan in the Battle of the Yellow Sea two months later. Still, when he saw his fellow ships sunk by Japanese ships, he deserted with Corvette Kwan Chia, who also chickened out. He pulled it off.
As a result, the formation of the North Sea Fleet collapsed, and the Japanese Navy could do as it pleased.
Still, there was no one to blame him, but the Manchu Qing dynasty reigned.
They were decent.
Empress Dowager Xi summoned Fang Boqian from Port Arthur and beheaded him.
The Han Chinese Communist regime now rules China. Still, the Han Chinese themselves are shameless people who have no interest in abiding by the rules of international law. Some are now saying that Fang Boqian's beheading was a false accusation.
Miyawaki.
Unbelievable.
Incredible laxity.
Takayama.
Another is Li Yuanhong (1866-1928. A soldier and politician in the late Qing and early Republic of China).
He was the man who was the engineer of the corvette Kwan Chia, which desertion with Jiyuan. He ran aground during desertion and jumped into the sea but couldn't swim.
I was puzzled as to why he was in the Navy, but he managed to be rescued by friendly forces.
After that, he decided that he would no longer be in the Navy and switched to the army, becoming a brigade commander of the Hubei New Army and in charge of Wuhan.
Every day he captured and executed revolutionaries who agreed with Sun Yat-sen and others.
Then there was an explosion of a powder magazine in Wuchang.
Although it was just an accident, the revolutionaries believed it was the uprising of the revolution.
On the other hand, Li Yuan Hong also believes that it was a revolutionary uprising and runs away.
The commander-in-chief is the way he is, and the Han Chinese doing it are sloppy, so they stick to the revolutionary faction.
In no time at all, the revolutionaries took control of Wuhan.
That's when Li Yuanhong is found hiding.
When it was thought he would be killed viciously, the revolutionary Sun Yat-sen, also a primary existence, was playing in the state of Colorado in the United States with the money he sponged on the Japanese.
No one has news of the executive level.
Then Li Yuanhong became a well-known man worldwide, so he became a revolutionary general and established the Xinhai Revolution.
Can you believe this laxity?
Masahiro Miyazaki, who is well-versed in China, says that the Xinhai Revolution was not a revolution of the Xinhai Revolution but a revolution out of the heart (laughs).
Fang Boqian and Li Yuanhong represent the Chinese people's characteristics very well.
The two added together divided two is Jiang Zemin, who recently passed away.
