A Chinese-born graduate of Peking University, Shigeki Ishihara, became a Japanese senator and advocated for constitutional reform with a tough stance toward China.

Shi Ping, a Japanese senator who is anti-Chinese, originally from China, naturalized in Japan after graduating from Peking University.

He calls himself Shi Heitaro.

The Japanese House of Councilors announced the results of the election on Monday (7/21). Many Chinese citizens who have naturalized in Japan ran for office. Among them, the extreme anti-Chinese person Shi Ping, who was born in China and naturalized in Japan after graduating from Peking University, won through proportional representation and became a Japanese senator.

The Japanese newspaper Sankei Shimbun reported on the 21st that 63-year-old Shi Ping, who calls himself Shi Heitaro, as a proportional representative proposed by the Japanese Restoration Party, was confirmed to be elected as a Japanese senator. The Japanese media also stated that "he was born in Sichuan Province, China, and has spiritually severed ties with China," and obtained Japanese nationality in 2007.

Shi Ping was recommended by the Japanese Restoration Party to run for the House of Councilors election this February, but he once gave up running in March due to online defamation and slander against him. Later, he realized "he could not yield to defamation" and re-entered the race. Originally from China, he called during the campaign "to protect Japan" and put forward so-called demands such as constitutional reform and reviewing Japan's diplomatic relations with China.
