Representative Taro Kono’s post

Since the link will be treated as spam, I will post a FAQ about false rumors and misinformation.

1. Is Taro Kono a “parent-chu” or “a-chu”?
It is nothing more than a malicious hoax spread on the internet in the wake of the 2021 presidential election. As Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of Defense in the Shinzo Abe Cabinet, he has sounded the alarm on China’s military expansion and the expansion of debt traps through the Belt and Road Initiative, and has deepened the Japan-U.S. alliance to realize the “Free and Open Indo-Pacific Vision.” , he poured his heart and soul into expanding the QUAD, which consists of Japan, the United States, Australia and India.

2 Was Taro Kono born in China and has Chinese nationality?
It’s fake news. My parents are Japanese, and I was born and raised in Japan, so there is no way I can have Chinese nationality.

3Why was he wearing a Chinese Communist Party member badge?
This is also fake news. The “Communist Party badge worn by Taro Kono” that is being circulated on SNS is a badge worn by foreign ministers from the Japan-China-South Korea Foreign Ministers’ Meeting held near Beijing, China. At international conferences, the chief delegate is given a special badge so that the security level can be seen at a glance.

4 Isn’t Nippon Tanshin, which is run by a relative, making money from solar panels made in China?
Nippon Tanshin is a terminal and connector manufacturer and has never manufactured solar panels in Japan or overseas. Nippon Tanbu used to domestically manufacture general-purpose terminals and connectors for solar panels for Japanese manufacturers, but production and sales ended in 2015. Looking at the renewable energy field as a whole, we only manufacture 4,800 custom products for Japanese manufacturers each year, which is only 0.00001% of Nippon Tanshin’s manufacturing volume. Furthermore, Nippon Tamun has never produced terminals and connectors for solar panels in China, nor has it sold terminals and connectors for solar panels to Chinese companies.
It is malicious misinformation on the internet that Taro Kono is promoting renewable energy policy for his own interests.

5 Isn’t Nihon Tanashi making money by doing business with Communist Party-affiliated companies?
Nippon Tanshin is a parts manufacturer that supplies terminals and connectors to Japanese automotive and electronics manufacturers. When Japanese automakers entered the Chinese market, there was a demand for local parts supply, and Nippon Tansu expanded into China. We supply parts to manufacturers. Sales to Chinese companies remain at just over 1% of total sales.

6 Is it true that dual citizenship is being promoted?
Many children of Japanese and foreign parents will have two nationalities at birth, but under current law they must choose a nationality by the age of 22. In such cases, we have been calling for the Nationality Act to be amended so that people can continue to hold dual nationality. In addition, if the person concerned is to become a member of the Diet or any other public office, the condition is that he or she renounces his/her foreign nationality.
Please be aware that some videos that are being circulated on social media are cut out with comments that seem to acknowledge dual citizenship.

7 Is it true that you are promoting a cricket diet?
Not true. When I was on a business trip to Tokushima Prefecture, I sampled processed food made from farmed crickets once, as part of an inspection tour of the activities of a local start-up company (the crickets were not the main focus of the tour).

8What about the story that was spread on SNS about the pizza factory he runs that was blown up and caused an earthquake?
I think everyone can tell that this is fake news without saying anything.

9Is it true that ordinary people are being sued in court?
I am suing a person for defamation who persistently makes baseless slander on the internet. Slandering or harassing others on the internet is unacceptable behavior towards or by anyone. I don’t think it makes sense to slander others and then tell them not to sue me because I’m an “ordinary person.” Just because someone is a politician, celebrity, or athlete doesn’t mean it’s okay to slander or harass someone. If we do not make sure that no one will tolerate slander or harassment on the internet, it will lead to online bullying going unchecked.

How about blocking with something like 10X?
In addition to the above reasons, when the timeline is overflowing with slanderous comments, it naturally doesn’t feel good for the people who came to watch it, so basically, people who slander or harass people should be blocked. doing.
However, I sometimes hear that people have been blocked even though they have not slandered them. I feel sorry for such people. If there is such a person, please let us know through someone you follow and we will remove it.

11Why did the introduction of Aegis Ashore be discontinued?
To prevent the first stage rocket (booster) of the interceptor missile launched from Aegis Ashore installed at Self-Defense Forces facilities in Akita and Yamaguchi prefectures from causing damage to surrounding residents, the booster must be We have received strong requests from people in the vicinity of Self-Defense Forces facilities to drop them inside the facilities, and successive defense ministers have repeatedly promised that this will be accomplished. Initially, it was said that this could be achieved through software development, but it turned out that it would actually require a long development period and high costs. Prime Minister Abe also judged that this was not realistic and decided to cancel the introduction of Aegis Ashore.

12Why did he repeatedly say “Next question please” at press conferences when he was Foreign Minister?
Before that press conference, multiple reporters told me that they would be asking questions about the Japan-Russia negotiations at today’s press conference, so I was unable to answer any questions about the content of the negotiations or the government’s policy or thinking. That’s what I said. The reporter told me that the company’s policy is to ask questions at a press conference, so even though I know I can’t answer them, I’ll ask as many questions as I can. Then, at the press conference, a question about Japan and Russia was asked, but since I assumed that both of us were asking the question knowing that neither of us would be able to answer it, I answered, “Please move on to the next question.” The reporter knew this, but I think people who saw the scene on video were confused. Considering the people watching the video, I should have been more polite and said, “I cannot answer any questions regarding the Japan-Russia negotiations.”

13When he was the Minister of Defense, when asked at a press conference about the balloons that had flown into Japan, why did he reply, “Ask the balloons?”
At the time, I was discussing espionage by third countries with Secretary of Defense Esper, and the secretary said, “If the UFOs were aliens, I wouldn’t worry about it…” Regarding this balloon, in order to not reveal the extent of the Self-Defense Force’s information processing capabilities, the answer sheet said, “I will refrain from giving any answers,” so I jokingly replied, “Please ask the balloon.”

14 What is the background of the Renewable Energy Task and why was Mika Obayashi selected as a committee member?
The Yoshihide Suga Cabinet was inaugurated on September 16, 2020, and in its policy speech on October 26, it declared carbon neutrality by 2050. In order to achieve carbon neutrality, it is necessary to replace fossil fuel power generation, and while nuclear power plants are not restarting, it is necessary to make renewable energy the main power source, but in order to promote the introduction of renewable energy, This requires regulatory reform across ministries and local governments. To this end, on November 20, 2020, the Renewable Energy Task Force, which brings together experts in renewable energy, electricity system reform, and regulatory reform, was established under the Cabinet Office’s Minister of State for Special Missions (Regulatory Reform). The Cabinet Office created a proposal with four members selected from among various experts, and I approved it. Mr. Obayashi was selected as an expert in renewable energy. Currently, an investigation team at the Cabinet Office, including a third party, is confirming the facts regarding the relationship between the Renewable Energy Foundation and foreign governments. (As of April 2024)

15Why did you keep saying “out of jurisdiction” in the renewable energy task questions?
When digital administrative and financial reform was newly established, during deliberations in the House of Representatives, the Digital Agency and digital administrative and financial reform were handled by the Special Committee on Regional Revitalization, Children’s Policy, and Digital Society Formation (Ko-Digi), while regulatory reform and administrative reform were handled by the Cabinet. It became a committee. When a question about regulatory reform or administrative reform comes up on terrestrial digital TV, it is a rule in the Diet that a deputy minister, a parliamentary vice-minister, or a government advisor answers the question. However, this is very difficult to understand, so we requested that the terrestrial digital broadcaster unify regulatory reform and administrative reform, but this did not happen.
The DTTB Committee informs inquirers in advance that since the Renewable Energy Task Force is concerned with regulatory reform, answers to questions posed via DTTB will be answered by the Vice Minister, a Parliamentary Secretary, or a government reference. However, when asked for a minister’s response, I responded that, in accordance with the rules, “questions regarding regulatory reform are outside the jurisdiction of the terrestrial and digital broadcasting committee,” and that I would have a government reference provide the answer. Regarding this matter, after the committee meeting ended, the Liberal Democratic Party’s lead director lodged a protest against the opposition party’s lead director. I mentioned this in my answer, but it was cut out and the video was shown. I will also be more careful about the way I speak.

16 Will you not take responsibility for the aftereffects of the coronavirus vaccine?
The efficacy and safety of vaccines are verified and approved by a committee of experts from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. I am not involved in that. My responsibility is to negotiate with Pfizer and Moderna to obtain approved vaccines, negotiate with the EU to obtain approval for export to Japan, and distribute them to local governments.
For example, Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine can be taken six times from one bottle. When I opened a bottle and there were only five people who wanted to be vaccinated, I asked someone to give it to someone there so as not to waste the vaccine. Initially, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare was trying to impose conditions such as restricting the vaccine to people over 65 years old and those who had a pre-examination card, but it was decided that no one was eligible because it was important not to waste the vaccine. I asked someone to give it to me so I wouldn’t throw it away. I said that if there were any problems because of this, I would take responsibility.
In addition, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare issued detailed notices regarding the target population and how vaccines should be transported, etc., and the scope of discretion was narrow and local governments were confused. I also said that each local government is free to do things in its own way, without being bound by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare’s notifications, as long as they properly maintain vaccination records and vaccination records.
Thanks to the cooperation of many people, including local governments and medical personnel, I believe that vaccinations have progressed in a short period of time, which was thought to be difficult.
In general, in addition to the relatively common side effects of vaccination, such as temporary fever and swelling and pain at the injection site, health damage may occur due to side effects after vaccination. Although it is extremely rare, it cannot be eliminated, so a relief system has been established. If the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare certifies that post-vaccination health damage is due to vaccinations given as temporary vaccinations or routine vaccinations, you can receive relief based on the Immunization Act. Certification is made by a national examination committee made up of experts in vaccination, infectious diseases, medicine, and law, and does not require a strict medical cause-and-effect relationship. Examinations are conducted based on the idea that cases that cannot be denied are also covered.
