Sayaka Morohoshi (諸星清佳, Morohoshi Sayaka, born 24 February 1965) is a Japanese journalist known for his books and articles on modern China.

Biography

Morohoshi was born in Kushiro city and spent young days in Sapporo city in Hokkaido prefecture. He studied Chinese modern literature at Tokyo University of Foreign Studies and his graduation thesis is "Liu Binyan and freedom of speech in China". He worked at the Hokkaido Shimbun Press for a while, and went on to a master's course of Tokyo University of Foreign Studies to major in historical and cultural studies of modern China.[1] He went abroad to Wuhan University and Peking University to study Chinese modern literature.[2] He basically appreciates Chinese economic reform and regards Maoism, especially the Chinese Cultural Revolution, as fascism.[3][4] He gave severe criticism to a Japanese journalist Katsuichi Honda, whom he charges with concealing Honda's standpoint as a Maoist even though Honda admired the Chinese Cultural Revolution.[5][6] Although many China watchers in Japan expect Chinese economy(or China itself) will start to collapse around 2007, yet he consistently denies such opinions.[7][8][9] When he was a university student, he wrote a feature story about Sanya(Japanese slum in Tokyo) in the newspaper of the Tokyo University of Foreign Studies.[10]
