This is the reality of the Chinese people. They are all apart!

This is the reality of the Chinese people. They are all apart!
2022年12月02日
The following is from a feature article in the November 26 issue of the monthly magazine WiLL titled "I Want to Curse and Kill Xi Jinping's Dictatorship! and featured a dialogue between four authors, including Tomoko Ako, a professor at the University of Tokyo, Tan Lomi, a writer, Yang Yizhi, and Liu Yanzi, a Chinese literature scholar.

As I have mentioned, WiLL and Handa are full of factual articles, yet they cost 980 yen! That's a bargain!
It is no exaggeration to say that they are the best monthly magazines in the world today.
It is a must-read not only for Japanese citizens but for people worldwide.
It is a must-read for men and women, young and old, and especially for all young people.
Some parts of the article already foreshadow the phenomenon that is now taking place in China.
This feature perfectly demonstrates that Kissinger's perception and knowledge of Japan and China were abysmal.
It also proves the same applies to the Democratic Party of Japan members and supporters.
The prominent faces of people like Alexis Dudden, who have attacked Japan, wielding anti-Japanese propaganda from China and South Korea, must be getting much smaller in the United States.
But, last year, when a brilliant Harvard scholar published a paper verifying the lies about comfort women and conscription, red scholars proxies for China and South Korea, who pervade U.S. universities, attacked him.
The way things are going, the U.S. and Japan still have to be on their guard.

Banned Words" in China
Liu 
China's speech space is infinitely narrowed by the Xi Jinping administration's harsh cultural controls.
A system of forbidden books and words has developed through digital technology to instill the ideas and ideology of the one-party dictatorship. Book burnings (burning books and burying effete scholars alive) far exceed that of previous dynasties.
Yang. 
You are right.
For example, any text that might lead to the Tiananmen Square incident (June 4, 1989) or the number "8964" is a "banned word" that Chinese internet censors catch.
In addition, the Chinese character "翠" for jade means "Xi Jinping dies twice," which is also a banned word.
In any case, the suppression of thought and speech has become even more severe, so the mere use of the single character "翠" is no longer allowed.
Tan 
In the future, more and more generations will be unaware of the Tiananmen Square incident.
At an American high school, there was only one Chinese student in the class, and as soon as the teacher talked about the Tiananmen Square incident, he said, "It's not true that there was a Tiananmen Square incident! It was an American conspiracy! 
The Chinese high school student was adamant about it.
Feng Cong-de, a former student leader who defected abroad during the Tiananmen Square massacre, is still invited by universities around the United States to speak. Still, Chinese students often ask him, "Why did you people cause political mayhem? Why did you burn People's Liberation Army soldiers to death and hang them from bridges?" He lamented that he was asked these questions every time.
Young Chinese believe in Chinese propaganda.
Even in exile, there is internal strife in
Ako. 
The question is still how to ensure freedom of speech space.
It is necessary to publish quality books in Chinese for the Chinese people, and for this purpose, a publishing house should be established in Japan.
Taiwan is currently playing this role, but censorship is becoming stricter in Taiwan as well.
Yang 
However, even if Chinese people are taught democracy or live in a democratic country, the Communist regime will continue.
I have reflected on myself as Chinese many times in the past, and I see that the Chinese community's struggle for rights seems more intense than others.
Tan. 
I completely agree with you.
1990, after the Tiananmen Square protests, I went to the United States and France to interview people who had defected abroad.
Nearly 50 exiles stayed at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, U.S.A. When I met them, I saw student leaders, young writers, and middle-aged and older intellectuals divided into three factions and engaged in heated discussions daily, blaming each other for causing the Tiananmen Square incident and sometimes even causing a brawl. They were even involved in fights at times.
The students who started the Tiananmen Square protests in pursuit of democratization are immersed in traditional Chinese culture. 
Yang 
So wherever they go, they repeat "internal strife"? 
Tan 
Politician Yizi Chen, a close aide to General Secretary Zhao Ziyang and former chairman of the regime reform committee, laughed off, saying, "This is the reality of the Chinese people. They are all apart!" "That's why reform is necessary."
Sun Yat-sen said, "The Chinese are a people like sand," but it is destiny that the Chinese are in pieces and have violent internal strife.
Five to ten years after the Tiananmen Square protests, the democratic movement wanes, but when funding comes from Western organizations, the exiles regain their energy and begin discussing the issue again.
But the discussion is not about "what kind of democratic government to form," but "what post will I be in when I come to power?"
(Laughs.) 
The result is a considerable debate, sometimes leading to a fistfight, with the participants saying things like, "I want to be Minister of Foreign Affairs" or "I want to be Minister of Economy."
Therefore, the collapse of the current administration does not mean the birth of a peaceful government, and the power struggle will continue even after the next administration takes office.
