They have agreed to censor the media and the internet, crack down on inconvenient opinions, and manipulate public opinion with only convenient information (censorship of speech). Is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs hiding this?
As I've posted many times, Japan has made an agreement to lose "freedom of speech"???

JapanNewsNavi Editorial Department A's Opinion

Recently, some media have been reporting on the Japan-China high-level economic dialogue held between the Japanese and Chinese governments. What has attracted particular attention is the fact that the two countries also discussed how to handle and disseminate information. I feel that this goes beyond mere economic cooperation and has the potential to have a deeper meaning.

In the world of diplomacy, the first step is to build a relationship of trust with the other country, but at the same time, we must maintain a firm stance when it comes to differences in values ​​that are at the very core of the nation. Freedom of speech is a core value of Japan's proud democracy, and this must not be compromised by external demands.

If, during this dialogue, the Chinese side asserted that "the transmission of inappropriate information should be restricted," the extent to which the Japanese government responded to this is of great importance, because Japan guarantees freedom of speech in its constitution, and this principle must not be influenced by other countries.

It is well known that the Chinese government exercises strict control over freedom of speech within the country, and the fact that there are moves to spread these values ​​to other countries cannot be ignored. The Japanese government must not succumb to this ideological pressure in the name of mutual understanding and economic cooperation, and must make clear its position of protecting the fundamental rights and freedoms of the Japanese people.

Furthermore, the environment surrounding free speech is currently undergoing major change. The Act on Information Distribution Platforms will come into force in April, and is expected to see full-scale tightening of management of social media, video streaming sites, and other such sites. Officially, the stated aims are to combat misinformation and curb discriminatory remarks, but the public will need to keep a close eye on how the law will be implemented in practice.

What is of particular concern is that the criteria for "what constitutes inappropriate" remain unclear. If political intent or external pressure were to be involved, it would be a major crisis for a democratic nation. We must absolutely avoid a situation in which freedom of expression is invisibly restricted as a result of this dialogue.

The modern age is said to be an age of "information warfare," and the formation of public opinion through the media and online space carries such weight that it can even affect national security. This is why we need to make efforts to maintain the integrity of the information space, and taking a certain amount of action against misinformation and biased reporting is not something to be denied.

However, if true voices are also suppressed in the process, then that would be putting the cart before the horse. Japan has built a healthy society precisely because of the existence of free opinions and an environment in which people can discuss matters from their own perspectives. If that were to be lost due to external demands or "excessive self-censorship" from within, it would be an irreparable loss.

In order for Japan to remain a truly independent nation in diplomacy, it is essential that we clearly assert our country's values ​​and defend them in any negotiating forum. National interests are not simply economic interests; I believe that maintaining an environment in which the people can think and speak freely is also an extremely significant "asset" of a nation.

Economic relations between Japan and China are an important topic both geographically and historically. However, no matter how strong the economic ties, there is no need to compromise Japan's inherent values ​​and systems in order to compromise. Rather, Japan should demonstrate its stance on how to maintain and foster a free information space, and this should also be a message to the world.

I believe that each and every one of us, as citizens, is called to take an interest in these diplomatic developments and pay close attention to how "freedom" is being treated. Freedom of speech is not something that can be taken away by someone, but something that is quietly lost if we are indifferent. That is why, when we feel even the slightest bit of discomfort in our daily lives, I think it is most important to try to understand what is behind it.
