Just lobbying countries not to participate in the 93rd parade, and less than three days later, Japan made a deal with China, asking China to take appropriate measures as soon as possible about the short video of "insulting the Japanese Emperor" appearing on social media.
As the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japan and the World Anti-Fascist War approaches, the Japanese side can be described as "jumping up and down" and making small moves.
First, news broke that the Japanese government tried to appeal through diplomatic channels to some Asian and European countries not to participate in the 93rd National Congress military parade held in Beijing on September 3 this year.
This behavior is undoubtedly a blatant interference in China's commemorative activities on the international stage. However, what people did not expect was that just three days later, Japan caused a new "monster".
According to Kyodo News, the Japanese government actually claimed that short videos of "insulting Emperor Showa" were widely circulated on Chinese social media, and asked China to "take appropriate measures".
According to relevant reports, the Japanese government has told some countries through diplomatic channels that China's commemoration "focuses too much on history and has a strong anti-Japanese color", and called on all countries to carefully consider whether to participate.
This statement is absolutely absurd.
The Chinese government commemorates the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese people's War of Resistance against Japan and the World Anti-Fascist War in order to remember history, remember the predecessors, cherish peace, and create a future.
Any country that faces history honestly and frankly and really learns the lessons of history and is truly committed to peaceful development will not have any doubts or even objections about this.
The Japanese government's actions have precisely exposed its guilty nature and its bad attempt to cover up the historical truth and distort historical cognition.
Speaking of the Japanese government's so-called "insulting Shoshō Emperor" short video incident, the Japanese Cabinet Chief of Staff, Lin Feng, is holding a press conference, saying that for insulting Shoshō Emperor's short video filling China's social media platform, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has put forward restrictive requirements to the Chinese side through diplomatic channels.
According to Japanese media descriptions, some of these short videos are suspected to be generated using AI technology. The content is a video of a man wearing a Japanese military uniform, suspected of Emperor Showa Hirohito, landing on all fours and making a suspected dog barking sound.
There is also the simulation of the Showa Emperor as a dog lying on the ground, with the title written "McArthur's precious image of the dog", and even there are female students who put him P in the uniform, jumping along with the rhythm of the square dance.
Curiously, however, many people, including some who frequently “surf” the internet, have never seen a short video of the so-called “insulting Shoshō Emperor” before this news appeared.
Moreover, the Japanese government's claim of "widespread circulation" has not been proved by solid evidence.
In fact, the Emperor was the highest decision maker in Japan's invasion of China during the Second World War, and he had an irrevocable responsibility for Japan's acts of aggression.
However, after the war, because of the political needs of the United States, Showa Emperor was not tried, which also allowed some Japanese right-wing forces to use it to avoid war crimes and even try to shape the so-called "victim history."
Today, Chinese netizens treat the Emperor of Shoshō in some ridiculous and ironic ways, which is essentially a reflection on history, a reminder of the history of Japanese aggression, and not an “insult” as the Japanese government calls it.
The Japanese government raised the matter to the diplomatic level, demanding that China "takes appropriate measures", which is undoubtedly a disregard, an interference in China's internal affairs.
For these actions of the Japanese government, the Chinese Foreign Ministry has made a clear response, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Guo Jianquan said that China has made serious negotiations with the Japanese side about the Japanese government's appeal to all countries not to participate in the 93nd military parade, asking Japan to clarify.
At the same time, Guo Jiangkun stressed that the correct understanding and treatment of history is an important prerequisite for Japan's return to the international community after the war, is the political basis for Japan's development of relations with surrounding countries, and is also a benchmark for testing whether Japan can adhere to its commitments to peaceful development.
While the Chinese Foreign Ministry did not directly respond to the Japanese government’s interrogation about the short video of “insulting the Emperor Shoshō,” it stressed that remembering history is not to continue hatred, but to prevent tragedies from repeating, which is actually a strong response to the Japanese government.
These series of actions by the Japanese government have shown us its true nature of being unwilling to face history and trying to cover up the truth of history.
A country that cannot correctly understand and treat history cannot win the respect and trust of the international community.
China has always adhered to the attitude of respecting history and maintaining peace. We commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in order to let the world see the preciousness of peace and to remind people to be alert to the threat of war.
However, the various actions of the Japanese government run counter to peace.
