From 1931 to 1945, Chinese military and civilians stubbornly resisted Japan's militarist aggression and finally won the victory of Anti-Japanese War . After the defeat, Japan formulated the peace constitution , not allowing the army, and gave up the "right to start a war."
However, in recent years, the trend of conservatism and right-wing in Japan's political arena has become increasingly fierce. Funo Kishida After taking office, he regards amending the constitution as one of the most important issues of the government. Many politicians clamor to change their post-war arrangements and completely get rid of their identity as a "defeated country". After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Japan frequently launched diplomatic activities, trying to take the opportunity to "release itself" and get rid of the shackles of the peace constitution.
In this regard, people from all walks of life in Japan pointed out in an exclusive interview with Central Radio and Television reporters that Japan's "constitutional amendment" trend is very dangerous and may push Japan into the abyss and repeat the mistakes of war.
Japan's "Inheritance and Development Murayama Talk" Chairman Fujita Takayasu: Those who advocate amending the constitution attempt to undermine Article 9 of the Constitution. This trend will arouse concern and vigilance from nearby countries towards Japan, and is a stupid act that runs contrary to the construction of Asian peace. I strongly oppose it.
Japanese political critic Morita: Now many Japanese politicians advocate expanding their arms, hoping to bring Japan back to the militarist path. This is an extremely wrong and dangerous behavior, and I am worried that it will push Japan into the abyss.
Japanese Senate Member Kira Kako: Now advocates that a series of trends in amending the constitution will intensify tensions in East Asia, and expanding arms will only intensify confrontation, which is likely to lead to war in the end.
Analysts pointed out that at present, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is still fermenting, and the international situation faces many instability and uncertainty. However, Japan followed the United States, stepped up consolidation of the Japan-US alliance, promised to increase the defense budget, actively participated in "small circles" such as the "quad-lateral mechanism", G7 , and sought cooperation with NATO . The purpose is to break the constraints of the "peace constitution" after World War II, seek the status of a major political and military power, and make Japan a so-called "war-able country." Japanese people with insight believe that these practices of the Kishida government may undermine the mutual trust established between Japan and Asian countries and increase the risk of military conflicts in the Asia-Pacific region.
Japanese Senate Member Kirara Kako: Don’t use the excuse of how to deal with attacks to incite the arms race to expand. We must give up this idea and avoid conflict through diplomatic means. Under today's international situation, the path of peaceful diplomacy should be developed.
Japanese lawyer Masato Uchida: Japan formulated a peace constitution after the war and issued various political documents such as " Sino-Japanese Joint Statement " to express reflection on the war of aggression. Article 9 of the Peace Constitution will overturn the various efforts made by the predecessors to achieve reconciliation with Asian countries in the 77 years since the war.
Honorary Professor of Yamaguchi University, Japan: 未分类: I am deeply concerned about the trend of amending the constitution. The mutual trust and respect relationship we strive to establish with the Asian people will be destroyed. If the peace constitution is not upheld and friendly relations with Asian neighbors, including China, will not be deepened.
