As it's flagged hoping the damage is done but in case anyone finds this

- The original article starts with all-caps EDITORIAL:. It's rare to see such strong labeling but personally I couldn't find any facts in the piece and suspect it's to make that clear

- The article is from Asahi, which along with Mainichi are the anti-government newspapers in Japan. Not an issue for normal news but this is an EDITORIAL (emphasis from the original article, not mine)

Quietly take away from the article what you want but please don't make any claims based on this.
