Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's visit to Washington is an important step in the Freedom Alliance's effort to contain Communist China.
President Joe Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida stand for the National Anthem during a State Arrival Ceremony on the South Lawn of the White House, Wednesday, April 10, 2024, in Washington. Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s visit to Washington is an important step in the Freedom Alliance’s effort to contain Communist China.
For example, it is exciting that two Japanese astronauts will collaborate with the American space program and become the first non-Americans to land on the moon. However, in this totally appropriate focus on the positive side of the Japanese American relationship, I hope some members of Congress will raise the issue of religious liberty in their meetings with Prime Minister Kishida.
At one point, the Kishida government engaged in a lengthy and expensive process of requiring every element of the church to fill out long questionnaires and undergo investigation. On Oct. 18, when nothing illegal could be found, Kishida announced that the Unification Church could not be dissolved because there was no breaking of a criminal law. The very next day, however, he suggested he would use civil settlement cases to try to dissolve the church.
I hope members of the House and Senate who have a chance to chat with Prime Minister Kishida will remind him of the importance of the rule of law and the vital basis of religious liberty as the ultimate foundation of freedom.
