Japanese is not necessarily a language that many people in this country understand. Very practical for certain circles to simply create false subtitles - because no one is surprised about Germany!

The widely circulated video appears to show a news anchor in Japan talking to an author who is presenting his new book called "The Suicide Pact."
In the book he is supposed to talk about how Germany would abolish itself and how the economy would be destroyed by migrants. The only problem: the subtitles are completely fictitious!

The video is being shared on Facebook:

In addition, the video shows images of migrants that certainly did not appear in the original video because they do not fit the spoken text at all.

Sumimasen, watashi wa Nihongo wa hanasemasen!

I admit that my Japanese is barely sufficient to order a beer and a taxi, find a hotel or ask for the nearest konbini. However, what even strikes me is that not once in the video do you hear the word “Doitsu” for “Germany”, but “Chūgoku” for “China”!

That’s why the video was watched by someone who speaks the language “a little” better than me! kindly watched the video from near Yokohama and can confirm that it says something completely different!

In fact, there are up to 3,000 nuclear weapons stored underground in China, which the Chinese Communist Party also confirmed. Arigatou, Shinkai-san!

On a paper that was briefly shown in the news broadcast, we could also see that it was about China: For example, the number “3000” can be read, the first two characters (中国) are called “China”.

The original source – Let YouTube translate it!

The video originally comes from the YouTube channel “DieClownUnion” and was uploaded in January 2012 ( see HERE ).

And there you can simply have the video translated yourself! To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Opens the video ( see HERE )
  2. Turn on the subtitles
  3. Click on the gear (Settings) and activate “Subtitles Japanese >> German”

Then you can read in (bumpy) German what is actually being talked about!

Conclusion

The video is actually about nuclear weapons stored in China and Japan's nuclear policy. Germany is not mentioned once, and the images shown with migrants in Germany do not match the real, spoken text.

Many Japanese words are not that difficult because they are derived from English, such as Makudonarudo (McDonalds), Miruku (milk) or Sandoitchi (sandwich).

Translators and tools do not cover all languages ​​- making control difficult to enforce
