`China is abusing a pilgrimage to Yasukuni Shrine`
Sankei-shinbun, 02.2017, by Michael Yon

　アメリカ人のジャーナリストに、「あなたは中国政府を信じるか」と尋ねてみなさい。もし、答えがイエスであるなら、もうその人と何も話す必要はない。しかし、もし、答えがノーであるならば、次には「彼ら（中国政府）は、日本について真実を語っていると思うか」とたださなければならない。

"War on the Horizon—Is the US Ready to Meet its Commitments?"
JAPAN Forward, 09.2017, by Michael Yon

War Becoming Increasingly Likely
Hours after the latest North Korean nuclear weapon detonation on September 3, 2017, I asked a well-connected friend for an opinion.  During the Iraq War, when I visited him at the Department of State, he took me up to the office of Condoleezza Rice for an impromptu introduction. (Unfortunately, she was out.)

"Afghanistan Distracts Trump From The Real Monster"
JAPAN Forward, 08.2017, by Michael Yon

President Donald Trump thinks he can solve the AfPak dilemma. In his speech, the United States president talked about winning. There is no winning to be had beyond safeguarding our national interests.
This is all a distraction from a gigantic problem: China. On our scale of concern, Afghanistan is microscopic by comparison to China and other challenges; yet, on our scale of priorities, the price of nation building in Afghanistan dwarfs the price of securing our borders.

"Korea’s Comfort Women Statues Are Cast-Metal Racial Hatred"
JAPAN Forward, 07.2017, by Michael Yon

Getting Down to Business: Statues about Politics, Power, and Money
Talking with the protesters, one soon realizes that this campaign of putting up comfort women statues is about removing American troops from Korea, and from throughout Asia. They want our troops gone, along with our THAAD missile defense and radars. China is using South Korea against itself. China is using South Korea to isolate South Korea. But this won’t stop here. It will spread throughout the entire region, and beyond. It already has.

"Comfort Women Issue: Why Do the Japanese Keep Apologizing?"
JAPAN Forward, 07.2017, by Michael Yon

Believe it or not, American Southerners find some commonalties with Japanese culture. This is important. I understand Southern culture. Much of my family was from North Florida, South Georgia, and Oklahoma. We would swim in the creek in Baxley, Georgia, and my uncle got me out picking tobacco on his Georgia farm. Thank heavens I did not grow up to be a tobacco picker. If you want a kid to study harder, make him pick tobacco.

"Comfort Woman Statues: A War Against the US, Not Japan"
JAPAN Forward, 07.2017, by Michael Yon

Koreans are coming. Not in peace. Few citizens of Brookhaven, Georgia realize that war has just washed into their town. The scourge spread 7,100 miles from Seoul, and 7,200 from Beijing. The full-scale assault is disguised as a statue of a young woman. But make no mistake—this is pure warfare. Their city is the latest beachhead in the joint Chinese-Korean propaganda campaign to break up the United States-Japan alliance.

"Korea: Daddy Don’t Leave Me!"
JAPAN Forward, 04.2017, by Michael Yon

Trouble is unfolding.
Few people, outside Japan and academic circles in Korea and America, understand the history of Korea other than from what hyper-dramatic movie or TV scripts tell them.  This Korean vacuum in the West leaves a void often filled with the most fantastic stories that benefit the hate farmers’ objective.

"The Hate Farm: China Is Planting a Bitter Harvest"
JAPAN Forward, 02.2017, by Michael Yon

Ask an American journalist, “Do you trust the Chinese government?” If the answer is yes, there is nothing more to talk about. If the answer is no, the next question is, “Do you trust them to tell the truth about Japan?”
