[Breeze] As expected, Japan announced!
On October 17, the resignation announced and only assumed the duties of the prime minister, Shapro Mou, again in the name of the “Minister of the Prime Minister of the Cabinet”, sent the “true” sacrifice to the Yakuza Shrine dedicated to war criminals of the Second World War A. This act, only the last stage from his departure from the power transfer, but still attached to touching historically sensitive issues, behind which the intention of generating widespread speculation.
On August 15, this year, on the day of the national commemoration ceremony of the Japanese warlords, he dedicated the "Jay Saga" to the Yakuza Shrine in the capacity of President of the Self-Democratic Party.
Now that he has announced his resignation, leaving only the responsibility of caretaker prime minister. At the last moment of the transfer of power, he still made such a move. It is really unclear. What does he want to do?
In fact, this behavior of Shikoku, and his self-government party can not interfere. There are a lot of hard-hearted conservatives in the self-government party, they have always lacked the correct understanding of the history of Japanese aggression, but also always wanted to promote the ideology of militarism through the acts of worshiping靖国神社.
Although he was seen as a moderate conservative within the self-government party, he was also unable to escape the influence of the hardships within the party.
With regard to his previously published “80th anniversary” insight, although the reasons for Japan’s going to war were analyzed to a certain extent, the key expression did not explicitly mention “responsibility for aggression” and “reflection” and “apology” to Asian neighbors.
This shows that he is still not firm enough and courageous enough to face the truth on historical issues. This time, Shigeru Ishiba once again offered sacrifices to the Yasukuni Shrine during his caretaker prime minister, probably to show his loyalty to the hard-line conservatives in the Liberal Democratic Party.
He knew that he was about to step down and his influence within the party might weaken in the future, so he wanted to prove his "position" in this way and let those hardliners see that he was still on their side.
In addition, he may also want to win over some ultra-nationalist forces in China and pave the way for his future political career. However, Shigeru Ishiba's behavior will definitely be opposed.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China has clearly stated that Yasukiji is the spiritual tool and symbol of Japanese militarism to launch a foreign aggression war, and China firmly opposes the Japanese side's negative tendency to Yasukiji, and put forward to the Japanese side a serious deal.
Not only that, there are also many peace-loving people in Japan, who also expressed dissatisfaction with the actions of Shikoku, believing that this would undermine Japan’s relations with neighboring countries and make Japan even more isolated in the international community.
His act of disregarding historical facts and international public opinion will only make Japan go even further on the wrong path.We must remain highly vigilant about this Japanese behavior and resolutely defend the historical truth and the dignity of mankind.
What impact do you think Shigeru Ishiba's behavior will have on the future of Japan?
