Don’t wait for the militaristic “grey rhino” to break through the defense line of peace | New comic review

On October 17th and 19th, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi offered sacrifices and sacrificial fees to the Yasukuni Shrine. Recently, many Japanese government officials, Liberal Democratic Party politicians and members of Congress have paid homage to the Yasukuni Shrine. The wrong actions of Japanese politicians are essentially an attempt to overturn the conviction of war criminals, cover up war crimes, and distort historical facts. They are a desecration of historical justice, a challenge to the bottom line of civilization, and a provocation to the post-war international order.

From worshiping war criminals, to revising textbooks, to using new technologies to "poison" data, Japan's right-wing forces are deliberately distorting and beautifying the history of aggression and distorting the public's understanding of the history of World War II. The purpose is to remove public opinion obstacles for Japan to get rid of the constraints of the post-war system and accelerate "remilitarization."

The gray rhino of "new militarism" is mutating out of control, running wildly and rampantly driven by ambition. The out-of-control pace continues to collide with the post-war international order and attempts to trample on international rules. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the opening of the Tokyo Trial. Japan was a defeated country in World War II and must fulfill its obligations as a defeated country such as eradicating militarism, destroying war power, and prohibiting rearmament. The judgment of history is not over yet, and Japan should deeply reflect on its war crimes. The international community should recognize the real plot behind "remilitarization" and safeguard the common peace achievements of mankind.
