This year marks the 80th anniversary of the opening of the Tokyo Trials. To view and treat history correctly is an important prerequisite for Japan’s postwar return to the international community, the political foundation for Japan’s ties with neighboring countries, and more importantly, a key measure for Japan’s commitment to peaceful development. We urge the Japanese side to do serious soul-searching on its history of aggression, make a clean break with militarism, and earn trust from its Asian neighbors and the rest of the world with concrete actions.

On August 15, 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender. We remember—not to pass on hatred, but because those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. NO FORGET, NO REPEAT.

Episode 1 "Our Ancestral Seas"

From Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson:

The devastation and tragedies brought by nuclear weapons should never repeat themselves. That said, the particular context of the nuclear explosions should all the more be remembered and the lessons of Japanese militarism’s aggression and expansion must forever serve as an alarm. Right-wing forces in Japan have long been distorting historical facts, politically exploiting the nation’s identity as a nuclear bombing victim for sympathy and deliberately downplaying Japan’s invasion that killed and wounded tens of millions of people in Japan’s neighboring countries, in an attempt to escape accountability for the war.

More ironically, the Japanese authorities have been beefing up military buildup, seeking enhanced nuclear protection from the U.S., and attempting to break free from the three non-nuclear principles. A senior official at the Prime Minister’s Office even clamored for Japan’s independent nuclear armament, without even hiding the ambition for remilitarization. This is a provocation to all peace-loving people in the world and reveals their contempt for historical justice.

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the start of the Tokyo Trials. The jury of history is still out and demands reverence from Japan. The Japanese side needs to face up to the concerns of the international community, earnestly fulfill its nuclear non-proliferation obligations under international law, and not once again stand before the court of history.
