Yoshio Watanabe (渡邊芳雄), President of the International Federation for Victory over Communism – an affiliated organization of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (formerly the Unification Church) – gave a speech in Yokohama City on 7th June, calling for the prompt enactment of an anti-espionage law “to protect Japan”. He emphasized that Japan is one of the few countries in the world that has yet to enact such a law, and stressed the importance of cracking down before incidents occur.

According to Bitter Winter, the China Anti-Xie Jiao Association legitimately claims to be the largest anti-cult association in the world. It has branches in all large cities and most small towns and villages. The large Association is controlled by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) through the United Front Central Work Department.

“The religious organization promotes the North-South unification of the Korean Peninsula based on a Christian-like ideology. Therefore, the Chinese Communist Party is wary that the estimated 100 million Christians within China might rise in rebellion [should Korea be unified].” [See editor’s note below]
On the recent increase in U.S.-China tensions, Watanabe commented,
“Because surpassing the United States is part of China’s dream, a clash between the U.S. and China is ultimately inevitable.”

[Editor’s note: Related to this, Michael Pillsbury, author and leading authority on China, told an international conference in South Korea on 17th December 2022 that we clearly can see China exploiting assassination of Shinzo Abe.
Chinese President Xi Jinping and the Japanese Communist Party both believe they can use the assassination – and the alleged grievances the assassin has against the Unification Church – to tarnish the church’s reputation, tarnish the legacy of Abe and undermine religious freedom in Japan and other countries. Since 2014, Pillsbury has been the director of the Center on Chinese Strategy at the Hudson Institute, an influential American think tank, in Washington, D.C. and has also been an adviser to almost every American president since Richard Nixon.
