There has been a problem with a Chinese staff member on NHK’s international radio broadcast making claims that differ from Japan’s view, such as claiming that the Senkaku Islands are Chinese territory, but in reality, it is unreasonable and problematic to make Chinese people read articles that deny China’s views.
