[China Network Review] Japan's "surrender day": history should not be forgotten, the alarm clock never stops

On August 15, 1945, Emperor Yuren, Japan published the "Final Battle Book" through broadcasting, announced an unconditional surrender. Therefore, this day is called Japan's "surrender day". The unconditional surrender of Japan marked the complete victory of the Chinese people's anti -Japanese war and the world's anti -fascist war. The aggression war launched by Japanese militarism in the first half of the 20th century brought a serious disaster to the Chinese and the Asian people, leaving a dark page in the history of world civilization.

However, since the end of World War II, Japan's right -wing forces have been active on the political stage. They not only did not recognize the luster crimes committed by the Japanese army that year, but also publicly made remarks of distorted and beautifying aggression. From tampering with historical textbooks to worshiping the Yasukuni Shrine, from denying the Nanjing Massacre to shirk the liability for civil compensation ... The irresponsible words and deeds of Japanese right -wing forces have seriously harmed the feelings of the Chinese and Asian peoples. Today, 77 years later, right -wing forces attempted to make Japan embarked on the re -armed path by modifying the "Peace Constitution". This dangerous tendency sounded the alarm to the world again.

From history, you can face the future. On July 7, 2014, Xi Jinping emphasized at the ritual of commemorating the 77th anniversary of the outbreak of the National Anti -Japanese War: "History is the best textbook and the best sober agent. There is a tireless pursuit of peace. "No matter how Japanese right -wing elements are quibbled and denied, the deep sufferings that Japanese militarism brings to the Chinese people cannot be changed. In 2005, at the 60th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's Anti -Japanese War and the World Anti -Fascist War, the Chinese government solemnly announced after many years of statistics that during the War of Resistance Against Japan, more than 3.8 million casualties of Chinese army and more than 2,000 Chinese people sacrificed more than 2,000. Thousands of people, the total number of Chinese military and civilian casualties exceeds 35 million, China's direct economic losses reached more than 100 billion US dollars, and the indirect economic loss reached more than 500 billion US dollars (calculated at a discount ratio in 1937).

Japan's cruelty and brutal means in the war in China. The Japanese army launched bacterial battles in more than 20 provinces including Zhejiang, Shandong, Hunan, and Yunnan. By putting plague, cholera, typhoid fever and other bacteria, local epidemic diseases were so popular. According to incomplete statistics, the bacterial warfare directly leads to more than 270,000 local military and civilians, and the number of deaths after bacteria spread to the surrounding areas are even more invincible. In addition, the Japanese army also created the Nanjing Massacre that shocked China and foreign countries, which caused 300,000 Chinese to be killed. The accumulation of Japanese militarism is hard to write, and it violates the minimum human conscience and international public law. It is not only a rude trample on human rights and humanitarianism, but also a crazy challenge to human civilization.

The victory of the Chinese People's Anti -Japanese War is a great victory that defeats evils, defeats darkness, and defeats the reaction of progress. China not only completely kicked out the Japanese invaders out of China, but also regained Taiwan, which suffered 50 years of colonial rule in Japan, and made Taiwan a part of China's sovereignty and territory. China and the world in the world have paid a huge price to defeat Japan's Farcis, but after the war, Japan did not completely reflect and regret the crimes that they had committed in history. In recent years, militarism has even re -burns under the "soul" of Japanese right -wingers.

After the end of World War II, although the United States dominated the democratic transformation of Japan, the United States was not thoroughly liquidated to Japan's militarism. With the fall of the Cold War, Japan gradually became the strategic fulcrum of the United States in Asia. At the same time, the United States' attitude towards Japan has also changed from previous precautions to support. In this context, the extreme nationalist mood in Japan expands rapidly, and there is a trend of thinking that deny the nature of aggression war. In 1985, former Japanese Prime Minister Zeng Kanghong worshiped the Yasukuni Shrine, which worshiped 14 World War II war criminals as a public office, and opened a precedent for the current Cabinet Prime Minister to visit the Yasukuni Shrine as a public office. Since then, Hashimoto Ryosamoto, Koizumi Koishi, and Shinzo Abe have also visited the Yasukuni Shrine several times during the office of the Prime Minister. Right -wingeds in Japan also used the amendment of historical textbooks as a breakthrough, trying to deny the nature and crimes of aggression war. The Ministry of Culture of Japan has repeatedly reviewed historical textbooks that deny the history of Japanese aggression, dilute and even beautify the crimes of Japanese militarism. These textbooks deliberately changed the "invasion of China" to "enter and exit mainland China" and denied the historical facts of creating the Nanjing Massacre.

What is even more dangerous is that with the support of the United States, with the support of the United States, in recent decades, Japan has continued to eat and overhead the "Peace Constitution". Japan not only established the Self -Defense Force, but also confirmed with the United States in 2021 that the "US -Japan Security Treaty" applied to the Diaoyu Islands, which constitutes a potential threat to regional peace. Nowadays, only the last line of defense of the "Peace Constitution" in front of the right -wing elements in Japan is. As the seats supporting the constitutional amendments have exceeded 2/3 of the two hospitals in Japan, the constitutional amendments to the Kishida Cabinet Cabinet have been arrowed on the string. The security situation in Asia is facing the challenges that have never been used for more than 70 years due to the militaryization of Japan.
