You may not believe it, but the Japanese media don't want to cover what is inconvenient to the Chinese Communist Party. It's because there are people in the media who are obedient to China. It is generally said that lots of Chinese agents built up the underground network of spies. China seems to have established it behind closed doors. Only the Japanese people who can reach the information on the internet on a daily basis had known the fact until the Beijing Olympic Games. Since the Oympics, however, lots of Japanese people came to eye the activitiy of China. China called up Chinese students and residens at Nagano City and made them interfere with the activities of Tibetans and Uighurs. They also attacked Japanese people who purely wanted to see the torch relay. The anti-Japan broadcasting company, NHK, couldn't help reporting the fact.
There was a chief of staff in the Japan Air Self-Defence Force who officially mentioned that Japan used to be a good country. I think his comment wasn't a problem, but he was replaced promptly due to this remark. Can you believe it? He is Japanese and he just praised Japan. Now you know how seriously brainwashed Japanese top officials are.
A year later, he became one of the heros. He wrote a dozen books and has been invited to speak all over the Japan and sometimes the U.S. Today, he came to my hometown and I attended his lecture. It was very productive.
