Artemis 4 relies on Starship to do the moon landing part.
yes, IMO that is one of the biggest uncertainties in Artemis 4, the other being the gateway. Starship is essentially doing the other CZ-5DY's job for landing. The gateway is needed because the crew have be transferred from Orion to the lander somewhere.

The moon capsule carrying CZ-5DY would require another rocket possibly another CZ-5DY to carry the moon lander.
Yes, that is the plan, two CZ-5DY launches.

Japan's space agency said Friday that a research team headed by astronaut Satoshi Furukawa tampered with data from an experiment simulating life on the International Space Station, indicating that it would subject him to disciplinary action.

Although there are no changes to Furukawa's scheduled voyage to the ISS around next year, the 58-year-old astronaut will be "appropriately" punished as he bore partial responsibility due to his supervisory role in the experiment, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency said at a press conference.
Faking research data, still gets to fly to the ISS.

Two researchers who conducted interviews to ascertain the mental state of the participants fabricated data including making it seem as if other researchers had also participated.

The pair claimed they had done so as they had been too busy to devote themselves to the research, according to JAXA Vice President Hiroshi Sasaki.
"Too busy to work", so they just make sh*t up... L.O.L.

What happened to the much-vaunted Japanese diligence and work ethics?

Looks like the ISS won't be surviving until 2030 after all.
