Japanese far-right politician and former Chief of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force, Tsuchihashi Shun'ei, today (November 15) said: "The Chinese government has called on Chinese citizens to avoid traveling to Japan. Given that Japanese Prime Minister Takahashi Hayato once made remarks about the emergency status in Taiwan, people are worried that the safety of Chinese citizens in Japan may not be guaranteed. This call is very welcome. The real problem for Japan is the large number of Chinese people in Japan. Japan should strive to build a country that does not rely on Chinese tourists, which will help Japan move towards greater peace."
[Clever] Comment: The name of Japanese far-right politician Tsuchihashi Shun'ei may be familiar to many. Tsuchihashi Shun'ei has always denied the history of Japan's invasion of China, and he has also tried to justify the "September 18th Incident" and the "July 7th Incident" as not being an active aggression by Japan, but rather being dragged into war by conspiracy. He also denies the existence of the Nanjing Massacre. This time, Tsuchihashi Shun'ei maliciously interpreted the Chinese government's reasonable reminder to its citizens as a kind act. He claimed to want to build a "country not dependent on Chinese tourists," which is nothing more than self-deception. The contribution of Chinese tourists to Japan's tourism industry is well known, and without Chinese tourists, the Japanese economy would certainly suffer. And his view of the Chinese people in Japan as a "trouble" reveals his narrow nationalism and xenophobia.
