日本ファクトチェックセンター(JFC)Elections & voting

NHK党「ヤジ3回で公選法違反、私人逮捕できる」?

Publisher’s rating: 誤り

The review says election law has no rule making heckling a violation after three warnings, and that a speaker’s warning alone does not establish unlawful interference. It notes that sufficiently persistent disruption that forces an interruption may fall under the law, but the claimed three-warning rule is not provided for.

日本ファクトチェックセンター(JFC)Politics & government

トランプ大統領が自公政権を親中と認め、安全保障上の脅威と激怒?

Publisher’s rating: 誤り

The review says the letter imposing a 25% additional tariff on Japanese products did not describe the government as pro-China. It explains that the national-security-threat wording also appeared in letters sent to other countries, and that the letter framed the tariff as a response to trade issues. The review found no such pro-China statement in the letter or in a White House announcement.

中国人の生活保護が5年で2倍に急増?

Publisher’s rating: 誤り

The review reports 9,471 Chinese recipients of public assistance in 2023, compared with 9,059 in 2018—an increase of 412 people, or about 4.5%, not a doubling. It bases these figures on Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare survey.

FACTLY

Aadhaar saturation percentages in Muslim-dominated districts of Bihar are unusually high compared to other districts.

Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING

FACTLY reports that the cited figures are correct, but says high Aadhaar saturation is also found in Hindu-majority districts in Bihar and in districts across India. It explains that saturation can exceed 100% because the calculation uses 2011 Census population figures while Aadhaar enrolments include people added to the population since then.
