“Former Japanese prime minister Tomiichi Murayama addresses the significance of the Murayama Statement during a news conference in Tokyo, on May 25, 2015.”

“Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's recent erroneous and dangerous remarks on Taiwan island, throwing out the so-called "survival-threatening situation" rhetoric, crudely interfere in China's internal affairs and have provoked a thunderous counter strike from China and domestic Japanese society.”

“From Takaichi's recent provocations on the Taiwan question, to the multiple films released or re-screened in Japan this year deliberately portraying Japan as a "victim" of the World Anti-Fascist War, and the striking similarity of Takaichi's rhetoric to Japanese militarists-orchestrated sinister "false flag" attack on Chinese soil in the 1931 - an incident known as the September 18th Incident, a clear historical thread emerges: Japan's disguising itself as a victim is no new invention, but a reenactment of the century-old script of Japanese militarism that remains unchanged.”
