中國國防部發言人張曉剛日前在記者會上批評日本國會議員參拜靖國神社時,宣稱靖國神社供奉曾任台灣總督的乃木希典。對此印太戰略智庫執行長矢板明夫表示,乃木希典實際上並沒有被供奉於靖國神社,批評中國國防部「又鬧了一個歷史笑話」。

矢板明夫6日在臉書粉專「矢板明夫俱樂部」發布貼文稱,張曉剛8月27日在記者會上批評日本國會議員參拜靖國神社,並將矛頭指向台灣。張曉剛宣稱,靖國神社除了供奉14名甲級戰犯外,還供奉了「雙手沾滿台灣同胞鮮血」的安藤利吉、乃木希典等人,並批評民進黨政府「媚日戀殖、認賊作父,令人不齒」。

請繼續往下閱讀...

對此,矢板明夫指出,乃木希典並未被供奉於靖國神社,並稱這並非「冷知識」,而是稍微查閱資料便能得知的基本常識。

矢板明夫說明,乃木希典是日清、日俄戰爭時期的日本陸軍大將,也曾於1896年至1898年間擔任台灣總督。1912年明治天皇去世後,乃木希典與妻子殉死,由於他並非戰死或因戰爭相關原因死亡,因此未被合祀於靖國神社,實際祭祀乃木夫婦的是位於東京赤坂的乃木神社。

矢板明夫因此批評,中國國防部發言人在正式記者會上「義正詞嚴地痛罵了一件根本不存在的事情」。

此外,矢板明夫也注意到,中方直接將乃木希典定性為「雙手沾滿台灣同胞鮮血的人」。他表示,乃木希典擔任台灣總督期間正值日本統治初期,許多施政內容確實可以討論,但歷史評價必須建立在具體史料之上。

矢板明夫強調,台灣的歷史應由台灣人自己研究及評價,不能由中國政府替台灣人決定誰是「恩人」、誰是「劊子手」。

他進一步批評,中國軍方發言人連最基本的歷史功課都沒有做好,將錯誤史實公開說出口,再以此為基礎批評日本及台灣。

矢板明夫認為,當歷史淪為政治宣傳工具,需要反日時便拼湊數名日本軍人的名字,需要批評台灣時便替台灣人創造一套「歷史記憶」,為了反日及政治宣傳而不顧史實,最終暴露的只是「自己的傲慢與無知」。

The Russian Foreign Ministry responded to Japan's request to remove the monument: It is as absurd as asking the wind not to blow and the sun not to shine.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharova responded to Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's remarks calling for the removal of the monument in Khabarovsk, saying it was ridiculous and that the 'disease' of ignoring one's own history should not be passed on to other countries. Russian parliamentarians and representatives of the Military History Society also refuted this, emphasizing that the monument conforms to historical facts.

Flooding at China's Jilong Port: Officials arranged for international media to visit the disaster area for the first time

A devastating flood occurred at the Gyirong port on the border between China and Nepal on August 26, killing more than 1,000 people and leaving thousands missing. The Chinese government has yet to announce any information on the casualties and has restricted foreign journalists from entering the disaster area. On September 5, China arranged for more than a dozen international media to visit the disaster-stricken area in Jilong for the first time. Officials said that as of 6 p.m. on the 5th, 43 people were confirmed dead and 519 missing, 261 of whom were foreigners. CNN described the interview as an official "carefully arranged" itinerary to showcase the rescue operations, but emphasized that the content of the report is still determined by the media. Foreign media had previously been unable to freely enter Tibet for interviews, which was in sharp contrast to the continuous reporting from the Nepalese side. The Chinese authorities have not released a complete list of missing persons, raising questions about information transparency. Beijing officials emphasized that information release was "open, transparent and timely" and said they had verified their identities through various methods. CNN reporters reported that the scene in the disaster area was like the surface of the moon. The border checkpoint at the Geelong Port had almost completely disappeared, and no survivors had been found. The U.S. Embassy in China has asked China to provide more information.
