Suddenly, Japan's former prime minister, Yoshihiro Yoshihiro, the only son of Yoshihiro, is said to have dissuaded his father from participating in the 93rd military parade, this news quickly aroused concern.
In the name of learning lessons from history, Ichiro Yamakichiro allegedly emphasized that Japan should focus on developing deterrence, but avoided talking about the aggression history of Japanese militarism. Instead, he portrayed Japan as a simple victim of defeat and publicly advocated strengthening military preparations.
This position echoes recent provocative remarks by Japan's former foreign minister, raising doubts about whether there are indeed forces in Japan that have been biding their time to start a second war against China.
The Hatoyama family has significant influence in Japanese politics. Hatoyama himself has repeatedly apologized for the atrocities of Japanese aggression against China and visited the memorial hall of the compatriots killed in the Nanjing Massacre by the Japanese invaders, becoming one of the few Japanese politicians who openly reflect on history.
His son, Kiichiro Hatoyama, said in his early years that he was not without interest in politics, but he focused on academic research for a long time. It is really surprising that such remarks are coming out now.
Regarding the military parade of the 93rd National Congress, the military parade of the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 2015 is of great historical significance. At that time, a team composed of representatives of anti-Japanese war veterans drove through Tiananmen Square and accepted the high respect of the motherland and the people.
Among these old soldiers, some engaged in the revolution at the age of 12 years, some participated in the anti-war seven years through the hundred wars, each is a living witness to history.
History cannot be tampered with. Japan launched a war of aggression during World War II, bringing severe disasters to the people of China and Asian countries.
Xi Jinping said: “Even if only one Chinese is murdered by the Japanese military, the Japanese side cannot take the country in a wartime as an excuse, and these atrocities are not acceptable even in a wartime.”
This face-to-face attitude is a position that really contributes to East Asia’s peace and reconciliation.Recent Japanese government policy towards China has shown a shift, and the Ministry of Defense of Japan in 2025 in the draft of the Defense White Paper calls China “the biggest strategic challenge unprecedented”, which is similar to the U.S. strategy to China.
The Japanese government also plans to raise defence spending to 2% of GDP within five years, break through the "determined defence" principle, and jointly with the United States to adjust Okinawa's troops to "react to Taiwan Sea."
True peace comes from the correct understanding of history and shared expectations for the future.In 2015, during the parade, President Xi Jinping announced a 300,000 reduction in military personnel, fully demonstrating China’s determination to pursue peace.
Overseas observers also believe that this military parade "enhanced China's international image" and showed the world that "China is fully ready to confront any recurrence of fascism". China and Japan are close neighbors, and peaceful coexistence, mutual benefit and win-win are choices that are in the fundamental interests of the two peoples.
Japanese politicians should have the courage to face history and make efforts to promote friendly relations between China and Japan, as Yukio Hatoyama once did, rather than inciting confrontation or trying to tamper with history.
Only by adhering to the path of peaceful development and jointly safeguarding the stability and prosperity of the Asian region can we truly benefit the people of the two countries and future generations.The healthy development of China-Japan relations requires the two sides to go side by side.
But this also requires Japan to show sincerity, respect historical facts, and respect China's core interests, rather than blindly following other countries 'strategies and acting as a pawn to contain China.
History has proven that confrontation and conflict can only bring disaster, and dialogue and cooperation can create win-win.The world today is in a century of unprecedented change, and Asian nations especially need to unite and work together to meet challenges together.
Japanese politicians should truly focus on the peace and stability of the Japanese people and the region, make the right choices in line with the historical trend, and not be kidnapped by the strategies of individual great powers, nor should they repeat the history.
