Articles abusing China disappeared from some extreme right wing magazines

Extreme right-wing magazine "Monthly Will" had a special feature “China's Too Deep Darkness” in the April 2019 issue and “Too Terrible, China!” in the May issue, but afterward there was almost no articles about China. Another extreme right-wing magazine "Monthly Hanada" also has discontinued articles abusing China after a special feature “Chinese Ambition” in the March 2019 issue. These attitude changes reflect Shinzo Abe Administration's wish to improve the relation with China.

On the other hand, "Seiron" (Sankei newspaper) continues to publish articles criticizing China, for example a special feature "Thirty years after the Tiananmen Incident” in the July 2019 issue. "Voice" (Yomiuri newspaper) also published an article "Hong Kong demonstration exposed the limits of 'one country and two systems'" in August 2019 issue.

Depending on the magazines or publishers, there is a difference in the attitude against China. "Seiron" and "Voice" were founded during the Cold War Era. They have a familiar relation with Taipei and Communist China is their main enemy. On the other hand, "Monthly Will" and "Monthly Hanada" were founded after End of Cold War, therefore they put more focus on advocating racism and applauding Japanese imperialism than ideological (anti-communism) topics.
