CCP Outlet Bashes Shinzo Abe Just after Assassination- One of Several Sketchy Circumstances

Exclusive: The same day the former Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe was assassinated at point blank range, a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) state media outlet–Global Times–insulted and bashed Abe. Add to that the Chinese social media messages before and after the shooting seemingly targeting Abe, and the situation gets very strange.

As I have previously reported for my Rogue Review column, the CCP was happy when the new Japanese PM Kishida took over. Former PM Abe, on the other hand, was friendly with Donald Trump, but he wasn’t friendly with the CCP in his later years.  The CCP resented Abe’s support of free and democratic Taiwan.

CCP propaganda outlet Global Times (which has openly threatened America, Australia, and Taiwan within the last 12 months) took the opportunity of Abe’s death to criticize his politics, and claim that Abe may have been assassinated for political reasons.

But what’s even weirder are allegations (emphasis on allegations) that the CCP has explicitly threatened Abe before—and a couple Chinese social media accounts had strange posts just before the shooting.

I would like to say that, although the above accusations have not been fully verified, it wouldn’t be surprising. Global Times threatened to make “cannon fodder” of Taiwan and Australia in October. Soon after it threatened to “wipe out” US troops. The CCP death toll is 500 million—most of them Chinese. While we may never know the full truth, why on earth would it be shocking if the CCP helped kill one more man, and that man a Japanese leader who opposed their schemes of invasion and empire? The assassination of Shinzo Abe raises red flags—and those flags are looking awfully like the red flag of the Chinese Communist Party.
