The following is from a three-page article in the February issue of WiLL, a monthly magazine now on sale, titled "Yoshimasa Hayashi's Alleged Honey Trap, Another New Abe Testimony" (p66~75), featuring a dialogue between former Daio Paper Chairman Yoshitaka Igawa and former Yamaguchi-Gumi boss Cat Team Leader.
This article reveals that newspapers such as Asahi, Mainichi, and Tokyo, as well as their subsidiary TV stations and NHK, are not only not telling the truth but hiding it.
The article proves my point that WiLL, Hanada, and Sound Arguments are must-reads not only for the Japanese but also for people worldwide.
Why does he visit China seven times a year by himself?

From p. 71
A Storm of Honey Traps and Money Traps
Igawa.
Mr. Abe was always concerned about China's presence.
I tweeted an example after Mr. Abe passed away.
《I say this now. When I had dinner with the late former Prime Minister Abe on April 4, he said, "Mr. Hayashi must be in a Chinese honey trap. He also told us the basis for his story》(August 8)
Cat Team Leader.
That was a great response, wasn't it?
Igawa.
By "basis," I mean by analogy from circumstantial evidence.
Even though Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi used to be the chairman of the Japan-China Parliamentary Friendship Association, what is his reason for visiting China seven times a year by himself?
Cat Team Leader
He wouldn't go so often unless there were something to gain from it.
I hear he will be going alone again soon.
Igawa
I heard that Mr. Abe also said, near the end of his tenure as prime minister, that he wished he had had the Cabinet Intelligence and Research Office investigate Mr. Hayashi's background.
What kind of dust would have come out if they had actually investigated?
In addition to Foreign Minister Hayashi, likely, middle-class LDP members and Beijing correspondents of newspapers and TV stations are in a honey trap or money trap.
Cat Team Leader
China is a wily old fox country.
Igawa
I first visited China in 1988.
It was an incredibly poor country, and the northern part was particularly bad.
Compared to today's China, it was a world apart.
Still, China was thinking about what to do to survive.
There is only "sex" that a country without money can do.
Perhaps Japanese politicians at the time looked down on China.
They had no idea China would transform into a superpower holding a corner of global hegemony and launch missiles into its EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone).
So they probably accepted women offered to them by the Chinese authorities in the same way they would buy women in Vietnam or Thailand.
Cat Team Leader
I have experienced a storm of honey and money traps in China (laughs).
When I was working to supply fuel oil to the People's Liberation Army stationed in Dalian, I had a relationship with the central government, so I visited Beijing many times.
I was treated with a tremendous amount of hospitality.
I was assigned to a top-class hotel, where beautiful women would take turns bringing peaches, pears, and other fruits to my room.
I tipped them, thinking it was a service, but there was no end.
I called the person in charge and asked him about it, and he said, "They will keep coming until you get the woman you like in your room" (laughs).
Igawa.
What did you end up doing?
Cat Team Leader.
I discovered it was a honey trap, so I did not let her into the room.
I don't want to get caught flirting (laughs).
In fact, every five-star hotel in China has a brothel-like room in the basement.
Exactly debauch the world of Harlem itself.
If a naive politician were to stay in such a place, they would fall for it.
Igawa.
I frequently traveled between Japan and China from 2004 to 2005.
I traveled to most of China's provincial capitals for marketing purposes, and as Mr. Cat, Team Leader, said, there were always brothel-like places in the top hotels where foreigners stayed.
When I asked for a massage, I was often touched on the lower half of my body during the massage.
I refused, though.
I have also been to a building in Shanghai that houses a karaoke club called "Kaguyahime."
It is known as a honey trap site.
I have not been caught in a honey trap (laughs).
Cat Team Leader
In 2004, a clerk working for the Consulate-General of Japan in Shanghai committed suicide.
This incident was also related to "Kaguyahime."
Igawa.
Yes, he was caught in a honey trap, and afterward, the Chinese side persistently called for information.
It is no exaggeration to say that he was threatened.
The clerk decided that if he did not do anything, they would demand the consulate's information system, which was important information, and he chose to commit suicide.
It was truly admirable.
Bribe a person
Cat Team Leader
The Chinese Communist Party government has been planning and forming the nation, looking a hundred years into the future.
It is why the communist ideology is thoroughly taught in the field of education.
It is how they are building up their human resources.
On the other hand, Japan has neglected to develop its human resources and is now being caught flatfooted by China.
Igawa
In the 1990s, my father was a trainee in the Chinese trainee program, accepting Chinese technical managers and factory managers.
He gave them enough salary to live in Japan and gave them opportunities to study papermaking technology and mechanical engineering.
Cat Team Leader
For how many years?
Igawa.
About five years.
Then the chairman of the board of directors of the China-Japan Center of Exchange invited me to China as a token of his gratitude to the companies that accepted me.
My father let me go instead. It was during the period when Hu Jintao was vice president, and I have a picture of me shaking hands with him.
One day, the board chairman who invited me asked, "Mr. Igawa, are there any politicians with whom you are familiar?
I said, "My father knows it well," and he replied, "Let's do ODA (Official Development Assistance). If you pass ODA through a politician, I will give you and the politician 30% of the ODA as an honorarium," he whispered in my ear.
At that moment, I thought, "I see; the political world and China are cozy in such a way."
It was the same situation when Shin Kanemaru and Takako Doi returned to North Korea after being bribed.
Cat Team Leader
They must have been very much immersed in the situation.
Igawa
In this sense, too, I feel keenly that Japan has become a poor country.
For example, Sri Lanka and the Solomon Islands are soaked in Chinese bribes from top to bottom, as if they were China's slave states.
But look at Japan too.
What is the difference between those countries?
Cat Team Leader
On the other hand, there is a movement from the business world to move in the direction of de-China gradually.
Igawa
Casio Computer, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Canon, Kirin Holdings, Kubota, Koito Manufacturing, Daikin Industries, Ltd.…
Quite a few.
Omission.
