As I was re-reading Masayuki Takayama's article, I realized something.
The turntable of civilization I have been writing about since it appeared on July 16, 2010, has reached the center of the world.
The Asahi Shimbun is boring, and I don't mean that in a flattering way. One of its selling points, Tensei Jingo, has an explanatory tone that doesn't even sound like a column, cites books and people that no one knows, and mostly ends with "Japan is bad anyway."
I sent out the chapter on March 01, 2019.
Re-transmitting.
A friend of mine who is an accomplished reader bought me a copy of Shukan Shincho, which was released today.
He wanted me to read an article by Masayuki Takayama, the one and only journalist in the postwar world.
The annotations are mine.
It is the century of Japan.
The Asahi Shimbun is boring, and I don't mean that in a flattering way.
One of its main selling points, "Tenseijingo," has an explanatory tone that is not even remotely column-like.
It cites books and people that no one knows and mostly ends with "Japan is bad, for that matter."
In the case of the atrocities in Korea, it switches the subject to "Japan's colonial rule" and ignores the fact that Korea was not a colony but an annexation.
It also talks about the last war only from the U.S. perspective, saying that it was a war of aggression and that it exploited the people of Asia and made them suffer miserably.
Such a distorted column is advertised as a "copy and paste" for the entrance exam.
It's worse than MacArthur's brainwashing.
Political reporting is also terrible.
They make fun of Sakurada, the Olympics minister, saying he has a lisp and misspoke.
How different is it from making fun of a stutterer who stutters?
They are always corrupting Japan, but they give the warmest consideration to China and Korea.
The Chinese have been stealing advanced technology from other countries and making money by imitating it.
The bullet train is a good example.
However, if Trump and Pence take action to stop intellectual property theft, it will be on the verge of bankruptcy.
In addition, there is a theory that the Communist Party has been in power for 72 years.
There have been many communist countries.
However, they were all short-lived and collapsed.
Even the Soviet Union, the longest, was destroyed after 72 years.
The Communist regime in China will reach its 72nd year next year.
Both history and Kaori Fukushima have said that this is the limit.
But Makoto Hara, a member of the editorial board of Asahi Shimbun, said, "I've been to China, and everyone is fine, and the executives of Alibaba say there is nothing to worry about."
On the contrary, China's GDP "is closing in on that of the fading U.S. and will turn the tables somewhere in the 2020s," he said, adding, "It looks frightened with the U.S. struggling to wage a trade war."
He predicts that the ruthless and vulgar China, which makes a living from intellectual property theft and is responsible for the horrific ethnic cleansing in Uyghur and Tibet, will become a superpower of tomorrow.
Japanese people are disgusted at the thought of such a country running the world, but Hara seems to think it is a good thing.
It is tempting for Japan to give a stitch to China's top gate in time.
Still, Asahi brought in Yoshimitsu Kobayashi, the Keizai Doyukai representative secretary (Japan Association of Corporate Executives), to say, "That's not going to happen.
According to Kobayashi, "Japan as a technological powerhouse is a thing of the past. China has stolen technology, and Huawei is the sole communications services provider. Still, the Japanese people are in a state of being frogs in a boiling pot, unaware of the situation."
He also criticizes severely, saying, "The deteriorating Japanese people have no energy to challenge new things."
However, Japan has been challenging itself for a long time.
For example, in the 1970s, Japan followed the U.S., Soviet Union, and Germany in developing nuclear-powered ships using Japan's technology.
The dream and fast breeder reactor were the first in the world to be put into practical use, but the Asahi-led fake news crushed both.
Kobayashi is too ignorant to know this fact.
He would not be talking about Japan's boiling frog theory at Asahi if he knew this.
Kobayashi also sees "Japan's 175 trillion yen debt" as a problem and laments that it is not easy to pay for developing next-generation technologies.
No, there is a massive amount of funding for scientific research.
The only problem is that it has been handed out to the anti-Japanese leftist Yamaguchi Jiro and others in the humanities.
Kobayashi doesn't know that either.
So, does the world have a pessimistic view of Japan?
Michael Shuman, the author of Confucius and His World, declares, "The challenge of the 21st century is establishing a robust industrial power that can overcome international competition. Not surprisingly, the model is Japan." "We have entered an era in which the power of tradition, not the tweaks of China, will be the key."
Adare Turner, an authority on the British economy, shares the same view as Yoichi Takahashi: "Japan's aging population has made it possible for people to work until the age of 70 through technological innovation," and "Japan's national debt, which is more than twice the size of its GDP, is said to be a stumbling block, but if you look at the actual situation, it can be offset by government assets, and with interest paid by the Bank of Japan, it is only 60% of GDP."
He concludes, "In the 21st century, learn from Japan."
Daniel Moss of Bloomberg also says, "The eyes of the world, which had been on China, will turn to Japan, which has cleared aging and deflation."
Japan will be in the clear when Asahi and the Keizai Doyukai disappear.
*The redevelopment of Umeda's Kita Yard was a consequential detriment to the Asahi Shimbun's efforts to recruit tenants for its Nakanoshima Twin Tower building.
The North Yard will be the catalyst for the rebirth of Osaka.
Umeda-Kita Yard is a commercial area with the best location in Japan, and God has left it as a trump card for Osaka's revival.
That is why Yodobashi Camera Umeda's sales are the highest among all stores.
Yukiko Takenaka of the Osaka Keizai Doyukai (Osaka Association of Corporate Executives) confused the North Yard project.
Incidentally, the building in which Asahi bet Takenaka Corporation constructed its fortune.
Thanks to Asahi's adulterous plan to destroy the North Yard and the economic boom brought about by Abenomics, Asahi could fully secure tenants.
As a result, Asahi Shimbun has become a company that profits from real estate, and it seems that the company has remained even if the newspaper collapses.
But will God keep this company of the lowest and worst treasonists and traitors alive?
