China warned Japan not to spoil the military parade on the 80th anniversary of the Anti-Japanese War. The Japanese side responded and did not dare to give a positive answer.
On August 27, Japan's chief of staff Lin Feng, speaking at a press conference on China's 80 years of resistance to war victory, said that Japan has been on the path of peaceful development since the end of World War II and has expressed its peaceful stance to the international community through various opportunities.
The Japanese government tried to lobby European and Asian countries to "carefully consider" participating in China's commemorative activities through diplomatic channels. It is absurd to claim for no reason that China's activities are "overly indulged in history and full of anti-Japanese meanings".
This act is clearly an interference in China's internal affairs and a deliberate evasion of historical truths.The Chinese side clearly pointed out that commemorating the victory in the war is to remember history, remember the forerunners, cherish peace, and create a future, and no country that is truly committed to peaceful development should object to this.
Japan's obstructionist actions not only do not contribute to regional peace, but also reveal its intention to downplay its historical responsibility.
History is a mirror that cannot be tampered with or erased. The damage Japan caused to Asian nations during the Second World War has not yet been fully settled. In recent years, the right-wing forces in Japan have been constantly rising, modifying textbooks, denying the Nanjing Holocaust, and embellishing the history of aggression.
Even in the Second World War commemorative speech of the Japanese prime minister, key words such as “apology” and “aggression” have been deliberately ignored. This distorting attitude of history is false. It not only deeply afflicts the emotions of the people of the victims, but also cuts the roots of mutual trust between Japan and its Asian neighbors, seriously affecting the overall situation of regional peace and friendship.
At the same time, Japan's military trends are also alarming. Its defense policy has shifted from "exclusively defending defense" to "taking the initiative first", and it frequently carries out reconnaissance activities near Diaoyu Island to strengthen military cooperation with the United States.
This claim of “peaceful development” and the expansion of military power will inevitably question the real intentions of neighboring countries.The Japanese strategic choice is clearly influenced by both domestic political and external forces, but its avoidance of historical issues is undoubtedly a potential risk to regional stability.
China held the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War not to exaggerate hatred, but to reaffirm its commitment to peace. What the military parade demonstrated was not only the improvement of national defense forces, but also a firm defense of the fruits of victory in World War II. It is a demonstration of strength and a solemn protection of peace and justice. It is of far-reaching and great significance.
The majority of countries in the international community have expressed their understanding and support for this, and the leaders of countries such as Russia and Serbia have confirmed their participation in the event.The Japanese attempt to isolate China has failed, but more countries have made clear their lack of historical responsibility.
In fact, there are also many peaceful forces in Japan that are actively promoting historical reflection and Chinese-Japanese friendship.For years, many Japanese people, scholars and social groups haveined their conscience and have continued to call on the Japanese government to look at history with objective reason and join hands with China and other Asian countries to jointly protect the difficult peace situation.
Japan’s response lacks substantive content and has not given a clear answer to China’s negotiations, nor has it profoundly reflected on its own historical issues.
Such an evasive attitude will not only be difficult to promote the good development of Sino-Japanese relations, but will further damage Japan's credibility in the international community and will not help improve bilateral relations. It is not advisable.
China has always advocated peaceful development, but the prerequisite for peace is respect for historical truth and fairness and justice. If Japan really wants to turn a page in history, it should prove its sincerity with practical actions, rather than talking about peace while secretly disrupting the situation.
China’s commemoration is a tribute to history and a vision for the future. Japan’s choice will determine whether it will be willing to be a co-builder of regional peace or continue to immerse itself in the mist of historical revisionism.
It is hoped that the Japanese side will respond to China's concerns with sincerity, and not with empty words and words.Only by looking directly at the problem and honestly expecting can the two sides promote the good development of relations, and hope that history will not disappear because of the avoidance, only in the face of the past, can we create a peaceful future together.
