Thanks to his spur-of-the-moment lies, China has almost tricked Japan into acquiring the Senkakus.

The following is from the book published on 2/28/2015 by Masayuki Takayama, which is mainly a collection of editorials from when he was writing anonymously at the request of the Editor-in-Chief of "now and then," which opens the monthly magazine Sound Argument.
It is a must-read not only for Japan but also for the world's people.
Everyone will be amazed at the sharpness of his tongue as he reveals and conveys the truth to us.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is his best book regarding sharpness of argument.
This paper also proves that he is the one and only journalist in the postwar world.

A long time ago, an elderly female professor of the Royal Ballet School of Monaco, highly respected by prima ballerinas worldwide, visited Japan.
At that time, she spoke about the significance of an artist's existence.
She said, "Artists are important because they are the only ones who can shed light on hidden, concealed truths and express them."
No one would dispute her words.
It is no exaggeration to say that Masayuki Takayama is not only the one and only journalist in the postwar world but also the one and only artist in the postwar world.
On the other hand, Ōe, I don't want to speak ill of the deceased, but (to follow Masayuki Takayama's example below), Murakami and many others who call themselves writers or think of themselves as artists are not even worthy of the name of artists.
They have only expressed the lies the Asahi Shimbun and others created rather than shedding light on hidden truths and telling them.
Their existence is not limited to Japan but is the same in other countries worldwide.
In other words, there are only a few true artists.
This paper is another excellent proof that I am right when I say that no one in the world today deserves the Nobel Prize in Literature more than Masayuki Takayama.
It is a must-read not only for the people of Japan but for people all over the world.

America and China lie arrogantly.
You will find that Chinese and Americans are very much alike when you get to know them.
They may talk loudly and wear half-pants everywhere, but "lying arrogantly" is nothing compared to these two people.　
One day, a prewar U.S. diplomat, Ralph Townsend, went to his basement to find a Chinese servant stealing a bucket full of coal.
The servant said.　
'Sir, your coal is low, so I have just brought some from my house.　
The high official is no different from the servant.
The lies of Chou Enlai, who lived a pathetic life, were exquisite.
He wanted to study in the United States and entered Tsinghua University, which was easy then but failed.
He then took the Tokyo Higher Normal, open to all and failed.
He finally got in after receiving the anti-slip Communist Party.
In 1972, when Kakuei Tanaka went to Beijing to restore diplomatic relations, Chinese people who had learned that oil would be produced in the Senkaku Islands were wandering around, looking wistful.
Kakuei admonished Zhou Enlai that someone higher up should rebuke them, but he said, "Now is not the time to talk about the Senkaku Islands,'' and ran away.
Thanks to his spur-of-the-moment lies, China has almost tricked Japan into acquiring the Senkakus.
The U.S. also lies from top to bottom.
Corning Inc. stole the patent for Junichi Nishizawa's optical fiber and, in turn, sued the Japanese company for money.　
When Shigeru Chubachi, a member of the Antarctic wintering expedition, discovered an ozone hole in 1983, the American scientist S. Rowland claimed that my prophecy had come true and seized the Nobel Prize from him.
When Jokichi Takamine discovered adrenaline, American scientist Eberle lied and said I was the first to discover adrenaline and stole the honor. The American medical community is aware of his lies and still retains the name of epinephrine, which he named.
Norin No. 10 is a high-yield variety of wheat produced in Japan, but GHQ stole it after the war, falsely claiming it was made in the U.S. and winning another Nobel Peace Prize.　
The technique of lying and stealing extends to U.S. diplomacy as well.
At the end of the 19th century, the U.S. wanted to steal the Philippines from Spain, which was in decline. It used this as an excuse to intervene in Cuba, fighting Spain then, and started the Spanish-American War.　
The U.S. declared to the Cuban people in its declaration of war, "We respect your sovereignty and support your Independence.
It also promised the Filipinos that if they defeated Spain, it would give them Independence.　
When Spain surrendered early, the U.S. told the Filipinos, "Independence is off the table. We have decided to make it a U.S. colony." The U.S. then killed anyone who opposed it.　
The same was true of Cuba.
U.S. Secretary of State John Hay barred them from the Paris Armistice Conference, where Cuban Independence was declared, breaking his promise and placing Cuba under U.S. military rule.
He then removed the Cuban leaders who had fought the independence movement from the center, installed a pro-U.S. government, and pressed for approval of a draft of a new constitution for the Republic of Cuba written by the U.S. State Department.　
The draft came with a provision that "the United States shall control Cuba's foreign relations and finances" and "provide a military base, Guantanamo, where U.S. troops would be stationed, to carry it out."　
It was called the Platt Clause after the U.S. senator who proposed it.　
Cuba protested, but the Constitution was approved in June 1901 through purges and divisive maneuvering.
They are children. We cannot expect self-government," Pratt said of his impressions.　
This monument to the Spanish-American War stands in front of UCLA in Los Angeles.
The inscription reads, "To the volunteer soldiers who extended the hand of freedom to the oppressed.
It is rare to find a nation that can lie so openly.　
Sixty years later, Cuba finally abandoned its humiliating Constitution after Castro's revolution, but do we not feel a sense of déjà vu?　
MacArthur somehow replaced the conditional surrender that recognized Japan's sovereignty with an unconditional surrender and tried to change the currency to U.S. currency.　
Aoi Shigemitsu stopped him from doing so, but he ousted the entire leadership, destroyed Japan as an industrially advanced nation, enforced everything from education to birth control, and finally abolished the Japanese Constitution and imposed a U.S. draft.
Everything was the same as in Cuba.　
The draft was written in 10 days by more than 20 young priests at GHQ.
According to Mark Gane's Nippon Nikkan Nikki (Nippon Diary), the plan was to "have the Japanese government approve the new Constitution on February 11, Kigenbetsu, and to make it official on Washington's birthday, February 22.
Kijuro Shidehara approved it at a Cabinet meeting on February 22.　
MacArthur believed that the Japanese government was "wicked to the people," so he included two "doomsday clauses" that would "force Japan to give up its armed forces so as not to go to war.
He made the people take the government's responsibility for everything and made peace and cowardice to run away without fighting an aesthetic of the new Japanese people.　
Seeing the results of the Japanese version of the Pratt Clause, MacArthur even imitated Pratt's kiss, saying, "The mental age of the Japanese is 12 years old.　
When Japan regained its sovereignty, it could abolish the MacArthur Constitution, as Castro later did.　
But the U.S. was cunning.
It had Yoshideshige approve the Japan-U.S. Security Treaty while the peace treaty was signed, securing the right to have a "Guantanamo" throughout Japan, even right next to Tokyo.　
Each party has by now proposed a constitutional amendment, but an amendment means a procedure under the MacArthur Constitution.
Why can't we say "abrogate" instead of "revise"?
The procedure is to then "revise" the Japan-U.S. Security Treaty and remove Guantanamo from Japan.
You must be 12 years old to think the U.S. is a good country.
