[Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Japan should completely cut off from militarism and win the trust of its Asian neighbors and the international community with practical actions] On September 8, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning hosted a regular press conference. A reporter asked: Recently, the Japanese government asked Russia to remove the monument commemorating the victory over Japanese militarism, saying that the relevant design hurt the sentiments of the Japanese people. On the other hand, it once again stated that the "enemy clause" in the United Nations Charter is outdated and useless. How does China view the recent series of statements made by the Japanese government regarding the history of World War II and the post-war international order? Mao Ning said that a correct understanding and treatment of history is a sign of whether Japan can abide by its commitment to peaceful development. Japan joined the United Nations on the premise of admitting the crime of militarism and accepting the entire content of the United Nations Charter. The "enemy clause" in the United Nations Charter is still in effect today as a special institutional arrangement for the defeated countries in World War II. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the "Tokyo Trial". Japan should learn from history, completely break away from militarism, and win the trust of its Asian neighbors and the international community with practical actions. (CCTV News)
