“剧情极其离谱”！热播日剧公开抹黑中国，将侵华日军罪行嫁接给中国人

The second season of TBS's spy thriller Vivant has ignited a transnational controversy by transplanting the torture methods of Japan's wartime aggression onto Chinese characters, while casting Japanese Self-Defense Forces operatives as "righteous defenders". 

For a country whose Imperial Japanese Army once inflicted precisely such atrocities on Chinese civilians and prisoners of war, the reversal is striking. 

据了解，剧中把中国人拍成惨无人道的施暴者，把日本自卫队情报人员美化成正义反击者。剧中设计了中方人员对日本情报人员实施切指、刺穿腹部的情节，这些手段和侵华日军对中国抗日志士使用过的酷刑高度重合，而剧中则颠倒黑白，将其嫁接到现代中国人的形象之上。

整部剧悄悄美化日本海外越界行动，模糊自卫队的职能边界，变相输出扩张式叙事，更可笑的是，剧中一个自卫队情报人员坐着飞机逃离时，还对中方人员说，“要是这架飞机被攻击，就等着西方大举出动把你们碾碎……”

The plot includes finger-cutting and abdominal stabbing, methods that echo torture used by Imperial Japanese forces against Chinese resistance fighters but are reassigned to modern Chinese figures. 

The series also portrays overseas SDF intelligence operations in a heroic light, blurring the line between intelligence gathering and military action and indirectly promoting an expansionist narrative. In one scene, an SDF officer fleeing by aircraft tells Chinese personnel that any attack on the plane would bring Western forces to "crush" them. 

很多日本网友都直呼这样的剧情会让“本来就已经被政府、执政党、右翼媒体宣扬的‘中国威胁论’和‘中国敌视论’洗脑的日本观众，觉得要向中国人报复一番。” 

The controversy has unfolded alongside a longer-running information effort. Since 2015, Japan's Foreign Ministry has spent more than 56 billion yen (about 2.4 billion yuan) under the banner of "overseas strategic information transmission", including work that critics say smears China and distorts history. 

One example cited is a half-minute AI-generated video that rewrites the history of Japan's invasion of China, offered at 5,000 yen (about 211 yuan) with bonuses if views exceed 1,000. 

In its fiscal 2027 budget, the ministry for the first time set aside a separate AI fund for "responding to cognitive warfare", using large language models to spread distorted historical views across online platforms and engage in "data poisoning".

At home, right-wing groups have continued to push textbook revisions: replacing "invasion" of China with "entry", using "Nanjing Incident" instead of "Nanjing Massacre", and glorifying Class-A war criminals. 

从屏幕到课本，这是一套系统性叙事工程，与右翼政客参拜“战犯神社”背后是同样的历史观。娱乐化包装的敌意，比赤裸裸地宣传更危险。
