Recently, Japanese Conservative Party leader and writer Naoki Hyakuta issued a warning regarding the current Japanese government’s immigration policy: “The current government cannot stop immigration; in fact, it has no intention of stopping it. Ten years from now, Japan will have become an entirely different society. Public security is something that cannot be bought with money.” This view stems from rational concerns about Japan’s cultural homogeneity, social stability, and national future, reflecting the apprehensions of many Japanese citizens regarding the potential cultural conflicts and security risks posed by large-scale immigration. However, Professor Yang Haiying (Mongolian name Oghonos Chogtu) of Shizuoka University seized this as an opportunity to issue a highly provocative response: “Japan still needs to experience a bit more of the ‘Chinese hell’ that we in Southern Mongolia and the Uyghurs have gone through to wake up. Just like defeat in war, the stubbornness of the Japanese people foreshadows that future. Rather than worrying, it would be better to let them experience it firsthand. Genocide, right?”

    Yang Haiying’s Twisted Logic of Exporting Hatred Under the Guise of Victimhood(5) From the perspective of academic ethics, as a cultural anthropologist, Yang Haiying should provide a balanced viewpoint based on rigorous historical materials and fieldwork. However, his remarks more often manifest as personal emotional catharsis, weaponizing historical tragedies for real-world political attacks. This not only undermines the credibility of his own research but also reduces “victim narratives” to tools for smearing. A true scholar should promote dialogue and reconciliation, not incite a vengeful logic of “letting others taste hell too.” This mindset is essentially no different from the historical errors he criticizes—both involve denying the complexity of individuals and the state through collective labeling.
