FAQ about Kono Taro

Q.Why were you wearing a Chinese Communist Party member badge?

A.This is also fake news.
The so-called "Communist Party badge" that people claim Taro Kono was wearing, which is circulating on social media, is actually a badge for foreign ministers that was used at the Japan-China-Korea Foreign Ministers' Meeting held near Beijing, China. At international conferences, chief representatives are given special badges to clearly indicate their security level.
