Ministry of Foreign Affairs: The Japanese authorities have repeatedly worshiped the "War Criminals Shrine". Where is their conscience?

China News Service, Beijing, October 15 (Reporter Guo Chaokai) Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning hosted a regular press conference on the 15th.

A reporter asked: Recently, the Japanese media released the internal meeting minutes of the Yasukuni Shrine for the first time, systematically revealing the decision-making process for the enshrinement of 14 Class-A war criminals including Tojo Hideki. Records show that the Japanese government formed an arrangement with the Yasukuni Shrine to enshrine Class-A war criminals as early as the 1960s, but it has not been made public. Relevant facts were not known to the outside world until 1979. What is China’s comment on this?

Mao Ning: Relevant records once again prove that the Japanese government at that time knew that enshrining Class-A war criminals was extremely disgraceful and felt guilty. It deliberately kept it secret during the decision-making process. These Class-A war criminals are the chief culprits of Japan's militaristic war of aggression, and their hands are stained with the blood of the people of the victimized countries. The solemn verdict of the Tokyo Trial nailed these war criminals to the pillar of shame in human history forever, upheld international justice and laid the legal foundation for the post-war international order. The Japanese authorities have repeatedly worshiped such a de facto "war criminals shrine". Where is their conscience?

History cannot be tampered with, and the truth cannot be erased. The evidence of Japan's militaristic aggression crimes is irrefutable. The Japanese rulers should face up to history, reflect on their guilt, and change their minds.
