Yukio Hatoyama's "Op-Ed" article in NYT is not written by him. Probably it was translated from his article in Japanese magazine "VOICE" by Christian Science Monitor without permission by Hatoyama.
This is copyright infringement and misleads many people to assume Japan's next Prime Minister embraces "anti-globalism". FT.com quoted it more accurately. NYT, CSM, Huffington Post, and other journal that published the article should delete it and apologize.
Update: According to Yomiuri, Hatoyama office translated and published the article. CSM might have abridged it.
Update2: A DPJ official said that an agent of LA Times in Japan contacted VOICE, but he didn't tell that the article would be circulated via syndicate, Global Viewpoint of which NYT and LAT are members. Japanese version.
