[Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Japanese militarism will never be allowed to resurgence] On September 18, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun hosted a regular press conference. A reporter asked, this year is the 95th anniversary of the September 18th Incident. Recently, many Japanese media and scholars have warned that the security policy of the Takaichi Sanae government clearly shows a dangerous tendency of "returning to pre-war". Japanese society is being enveloped in an "atmosphere that despises war". Modern Japan is on a path similar to that of the 1930s, and must be corrected in time. What is China’s comment on this? Guo Jiakun said that on this day 95 years ago, Japanese militarism brazenly launched a war of aggression against China, and the Chinese people rose up to resist, thus opening the prelude to the Eastern battlefield of the world's anti-fascist war. The September 18th Incident was a war conspiracy that had been concealed by the Japanese government for a long time. The vast majority of the Japanese people did not learn the truth until the Tokyo Trial. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the opening of the Tokyo Trial. What is worrying is that Japan’s denialist tendency towards historical issues continues to grow and spread, and its dangers are self-evident. To this day, Japanese textbooks still downplay the characterization of aggression, and Japanese right-wing forces even use artificial intelligence technology to systematically filter pre-war archives and Tokyo trial records in an attempt to whitewash war guilt and solidify erroneous views of history. This is not only a serious regression of historical understanding, but also an organized and politically motivated countercurrent. Its essence is an attempt to further deceive the Japanese people and remove obstacles for Japan to get rid of the constraints of the post-war system and promote "remilitarization." We urge Japan to face up to and deeply reflect on its history of aggression, and take concrete actions to win the trust of its Asian neighbors and the international community. Countries in the region, including China, must remain highly vigilant, never allow the resurgence of Japanese militarism, never allow historical tragedies to be repeated, and jointly defend the results of the victory in World War II and the bottom line of peace.
