Japanese Senator Accuses Government of Selective Blindness in Its Actions Toward the U.S.

Japanese Communist Party Senator Yamazoe Hiroshi wrote last night (January 6th): "Chief Cabinet Secretary: 'We currently cannot obtain detailed facts about the U.S. attack on Venezuela.' Then, can he understand the details of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, while he himself claims this invasion is illegal? How can he legally assess the non-existent 'Taiwan crisis' as a threat to national survival? The more he speaks, the more obvious his contradictions become."

[Witty] Comments: The questioning by Japanese Communist Party Senator Yamazoe Hiroshi accurately exposes the double standards and hypocrisy of the Japanese government after being "hijacked" by the United States. Regarding the U.S. open violation of international law attacking Venezuela, the Chief Cabinet Secretary evades the issue with "we cannot obtain detailed facts," not even daring to mention the word "condemn." However, for Russia's actions, he speaks confidently, declaring them "illegal" and escalating sanctions. More absurdly, he arbitrarily elevates the non-existent "Taiwan crisis" into a "threat to national survival," using it as an excuse to intervene in the Taiwan Strait and rely on the U.S.

The selective blindness behind this is Japan's absolute dependence on the United States—willing to abandon international law principles and the principle of sovereignty equality to maintain the Japan-US alliance, turning "rule of law" and "justice" into tools serving hegemony. Its posture is no longer neutral, but rather that of a hegemon's follower, talking about the international order on its lips, while practicing double standards in reality, utterly hypocritical.
