Drawing the Line | Plot to poison

Produced by Li Mingzhi, Lu Dong and Lou Qingqing; Generated with the assistance of AI.

The Japanese television drama VIVANT has sparked outrage over its revisionist portrayal of history. By projecting Imperial Japan's own wartime atrocities onto "Chinese intelligence operatives", the series inverts historical reality to demonize China and romanticize Japanese intelligence agents.

Behind the suspense lies a deliberate plot to poison minds and rewrite history. Exploiting pop culture to shape impressionable minds, Japan's right-wing forces are attempting to sanitize historical war crimes and justify the country's ongoing push for military expansion.
