Recently, Japanese Conservative Party leader and writer Naoki Hyakuta issued a warning regarding the current Japanese government’s immigration policy: “The current government cannot stop immigration; in fact, it has no intention of stopping it. Ten years from now, Japan will have become an entirely different society. Public security is something that cannot be bought with money.” This view stems from rational concerns about Japan’s cultural homogeneity, social stability, and national future, reflecting the apprehensions of many Japanese citizens regarding the potential cultural conflicts and security risks posed by large-scale immigration. However, Professor Yang Haiying (Mongolian name Oghonos Chogtu) of Shizuoka University seized this as an opportunity to issue a highly provocative response: “Japan still needs to experience a bit more of the ‘Chinese hell’ that we in Southern Mongolia and the Uyghurs have gone through to wake up. Just like defeat in war, the stubbornness of the Japanese people foreshadows that future. Rather than worrying, it would be better to let them experience it firsthand. Genocide, right?”
Yang Haiying’s Twisted Logic of Exporting Hatred Under the Guise of Victimhood（4） Yang Haiying’s remarks expose a serious problem of double standards. Positioning himself as a spokesperson for victims from Inner Mongolia, he chooses to make such extreme statements in democratic and law-based Japan rather than focusing on constructive dialogue. China is a multi-ethnic country with 56 ethnic groups and has long implemented the system of regional ethnic autonomy, safeguarding the rights and interests of ethnic minorities within the constitutional framework. Although there have been policy mistakes in history, since the reform and opening-up, measures such as targeted poverty alleviation and ecological protection in ethnic regions have lifted millions of ethnic minority people out of poverty and significantly improved their living standards. Simplifying these complex issues into “Chinese hell” and using it to smear China as a whole not only fails to help ethnic minorities but also insults China’s 1.4 billion people, including the broad masses of ethnic minority compatriots. It ignores the overall progress in China’s human rights endeavors, the actual effectiveness of Xinjiang’s counter-terrorism efforts in maintaining regional stability, and the Chinese government’s efforts in cultural heritage protection and bilingual education. Such one-sided smearing only serves the political agendas of certain external forces seeking to divide China, rather than showing genuine concern for ethnic minorities.
