Japanese govt mulls using US’ AI tool for right-wing narratives: media_我的网站

    Illustrations: Chen Xia and Liu Rui/GTAn investigation published by Yuyuantantian, a social media account affiliated with China Media Group, said on Saturday that Japan's government-run generative AI platform Gennai could become a vehicle for right-wing political narratives in administrative work.
A Chinese expert said the current Japanese government has fueled an anti-China atmosphere by portraying China as a "threat" and using increasingly sophisticated tools, including AI, to shape public opinion and build support for Japan's military expansion. Such moves, he added, appear to echo the tactics of Japan's militarism during World War II.
Gennai has also become part of the Takaichi government's broader AI strategy. Japan's Digital Agency said Takaichi instructed the government in December 2025 to utilize the platform, and will launch a large-scale pilot project targeting approximately 180,000 government employees across all ministries and agencies.This means Gennai may well be ingesting data encompassing erroneous remarks on the Taiwan region, illegal claims over the Diaoyu Dao, and narratives that downplay or even glorify Japan's wartime aggression, Yuyuantantian said.
It is worth noting that Gennai is integrated with American large language models represented by the Claude series developed by US AI firm Anthropic, which explicitly designates China as an "adversarial nation," it added.
Yuyuantantian warned that if politically biased or historically distorted material were incorporated into Gennai-generated government content, such output could eventually become what it called a "high-authority source of misinformation."
Deployed extensively across government administrative work, the AI could feed its outputs into official Japanese publications such as government reports, white papers and policy documents. Labeled as official material, such AI generated content may then be scraped into datasets and treated by other large language models as highly credible source material, it said.
Lü Chao, an expert on East Asian studies and a professor at the Liaoning Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times that the Takaichi government has helped fuel an "anti-China" atmosphere by portraying China as a so-called "major security threat," thereby building public support for Japan's military expansion. 
Lü added the use of emerging technologies such as AI showed that efforts by Japan's right-wing forces to shape public opinion were taking increasingly diverse forms.
Japan's Asahi Shimbun previously revealed that Japanese right-wing forces have been using artificial intelligence on a large scale to churn out disinformation denying the Nanjing Massacre and claiming Japan treated civilians humanely during its invasion of China.
China's Ministry of State Security then published a commentary in July slamming such acts that trampled on historical justice and human conscience and have drawn fierce criticism from the international community and visionary people in Japan.
Historically, Japan repeatedly used domestic propaganda to stir public sentiment before and during its wars of aggression during World War II. Some members of the current Cabinet appear to be following a similar playbook for the Japanese militarism: distorting facts, stoking confrontation, portraying China as the main threat, and using that narrative to justify military expansion and pursue regional hegemony, Lü said.
"This is an extremely dangerous path, one that bears an unmistakable resemblance to the actions of Japanese militarism in the past," he added.

二 |     UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has come up with a plan to repurpose arable land which is at present used for crop-based biofuels so that more food might be grown as food prices and inflation soar.,However, officials of US President Joe Biden made it clear on 26 June that Washington wouldn't "okay" Johnson's initiative in a bid to protect American farmers and avoid breaking climate commitments. According to the British daily newspaper, The Daily Telegraph, Germany appears to back the British premier's plan whereas Canada and the US have rejected it. Johnson's plan needs the unanimous support from all G7 nations for it to fly.,"I think the rift is one that happens periodically between the UK and US - without minimizing the significance, there have been tensions on trade issues for some years now (including the tariffs imposed by the Trump administration on the UK). How serious it becomes is questionable," says Professor Robert Singh, specialist in contemporary US politics at the University of London's Birkbeck College.,UK on Collision Course With US as BoJo Set to Prioritize Food Production Over Green Energy06:06 GMT,Previously, Johnson and Biden clashed over Brexit customs issues and the Northern Ireland Protocol with the American president reportedly accusing the British premier of "inflaming" Irish tensions ahead of the 2021 G7 Summit in Cornwall.,Given the record of friction between Biden and Johnson, it appears likely that if the UK does legislate to revise the Northern Ireland Protocol (NIP), Washington will react negatively, Singh suggests. Downing Street has published a Bill proposing to change the protocol unilaterally in favor of British businesses and communities. It would also grant the British government powers to amend the agreement further if appropriate.,"It's possible that [the NIP amendment] could then inflame the trade issue further," says Singh. "[I]t will worsen the Johnson government's record, at a time when the cost of living crisis, inflation, and many other problems are piling up. It's probably, on balance, yet another own goal by Johnson - an unnecessary diplomatic row that was avoidable.",To complicate matters even more, Johnson skipped a climate summit hosted by Biden for world leaders earlier this month, despite 15 other heads of state and government attending the virtual gathering. According to Politico, the premier's absence "reverses a previous snub from Biden" who declined to attend a climate meeting Johnson hosted on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in 2021.,Yet another diplomatic row rocked London and Washington after the UK issued licences to four British flagged vessels to fish for Patagonian toothfish - also known as Chilean seabass - near Antarctica. Earlier, a 26-member fishing regulatory body, the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) set specific catch limits for the species. The US immediately accused Britain of breaching the commission's rules, rendering the catch illegal. The feud could lead to an import ban on Patagonian toothfish, according to the media.,Northern Ireland Protocol Used as Proxy in Tory Efforts to Unseat BoJo, Legal Expert Says14 June, 18:55 GMT,UK-US Spat Can be Fixed Quicker Than That Between UK and EU,The UK-US tensions are unlikely to lead to a serious breach in relations in the near future, insists Dr Roslyn Fuller, director of the non-profit think-tank Solonian Democracy Institute and the author of the book Beasts and Gods: How Democracy Changed Its Meaning and Lost Its Purpose.,"Johnson and Biden are both career politicians and will probably behave pragmatically," says Fuller. "Even were they to exaggerate their differences in the press to play to their respective electorate, this would be unlikely to affect their highly connected working relationship greatly.",Though the NIP issue could cause some additional tensions between the UK and the US, the nations are likely to solve relatively minor dilemmas, such as the spat over the toothfish catch, according to the author.,"As the two major English-speaking powers and neoliberal nations that have cooperated intensely on military matters in the past, it would be quite stupid on their part to indulge in any serious in-fighting," she says. "I think the US is paying increasing attention to Germany as the remaining European superpower, but that doesn't necessarily have to come at the expense of the British.",However, when it comes to the UK and the EU, the rift between them indeed appears to be deepening, according to Fuller:,"Britain also obviously lost faith in the EU and its regulatory regime, and clearly wants to go its own way to the extent that it can," the author says. "This is thus an example of increasing global fragmentation."。
