Japanese Espionage Tales 05 | The "Spy Paradise" on the Cold War Front: How Did Postwar Domestic Public Security Intelligence Reemerge?
The Special Higher Police were abolished one moment, and the Public Security Police established the next. The two main threads of the Cold War and domestic public security reorganized Japan's postwar intelligence system. Where did the conflict between the two major factions within the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers (GHQ) lie? With the Imperial Bank Incident and the "Three Major JNR Incidents" erupting in succession, how did Japan's Public Security Police use these events to continuously expand their power? Did behind-the-scenes political maneuvering by the United States play a role in Nobusuke Kishi's exoneration and entry into politics? Amidst the rise of extreme left-wing and right-wing incidents in the 1960s and 1970s, what kind of intelligence game did South Korea, North Korea, the United States, and the Soviet Union wage within Japan? Please listen to this episode's wonderful sharing by Sha Qingqing!
