17, when the British Economist published a comment article on Shinzo Abe , he quoted Abe as a repost: "Abe said that he cannot accept the descendants of his own country. These people who have nothing to do with war need to apologize to the countries victimized by the war."

According to previous and subsequent texts, Abe's so-called "Japan should not apologize endlessly" is because he believes that war victims such as China and South Korea always "suppress Japan through historical issues" and obstruct Japan from becoming a world power in every possible way. As a media, the Economist basically believed Abe's views without dialectically when reposting it, and spread it widely for Abe. The problem with

is to change the concept. Because most countries, including China, and people of all countries that have a fair attitude towards historical facts, have asked Japanese officials to reflect on and apologize for historical crimes, and asked Japanese political leaders to stop visiting the Yasukuni Shrine, rather than "force all Japanese who have nothing to do with war to apologize." In addition, China and other countries that have been invaded by Japan have never stopped Japan's economic development, and there is no need to suppress Japan's demand for legitimate rights and interests in the international community.

From the article, "The Economist" obviously did not stand up for Abe's remarks because of his ignorance.

Because in many places in the main text, the author of this article repeatedly mentioned Abe himself's role and attempts to revise textbooks and promote constitutional amendment in Japan, and also listed the role of Abe family in Japanese historical issues. I am also quite clear about the anger of China and other countries towards the above behavior.

But based on this understanding, The Economist still agreed with Abe's behavior, and even compared his behavior with the "reformist" in Japanese history, saying that Abe is leading Japan toward a new future. Such blatantly saying that driving backwards is "progress" and "reversing black and white" content has aroused criticism from netizens from all over the world in the comment area.

A netizen released an article about Abe's attitude towards historical issues. The cover is a picture of Abe sitting on the fighter with the number "731". Netizens who have read this article said: "The above article contains a lot of information about 731 unit . We rarely learn this in school, which is so scary." There are also some Western netizens in the comment area who see Abe denying Japan from his own perspective. After the history of aggression, he still has a high evaluation of it. One of the American netizens' replies were very representative: "I am an American, I love Japan and their culture. Our governments are allies, so our United States does not need Japan to apologize. We have already looked forward."

Those who understand history should be able to hear the funny thing about this statement. Although wars broke out between the United States and Japan during World War II , Japan did not attack the United States, and the United States also used the occupation of Japan after World War II to seek many benefits for itself. Therefore, when talking about "Japanese invasion of the victim country", Americans came out to "claim" the title, and claimed to "look forward" with the current friendly relations between Japan and the United States and the West, which made everyone feel both absurd and intriguing.

A netizen replied to the American: "I think when you talk about the victimized country, you generally don't say the United States." The American netizen himself said: "Maybe you are right, after all, only 68 civilians in the United States were killed in the Pearl Harbor incident."

In these comments, one netizen summarized it very well: "I also support Japan to obtain more rights, but the so-called "Japan is destined to apologize all the time" is not reasonable, because Japan has not truly apologized sincerely. Before Japan truly apologizes, (historical issues) will be legitimate and inevitably become the rope that is tied to Japan's head."

A world-wide power should be responsible and can make a significant contribution to the prosperity and stability of the world and region. From this perspective, what really hinders Japan from becoming a world power is not the just voices that demand that Japan reflect on its war crimes, but rather the right-wing Japanese politicians who distort history and repeatedly collude with certain extraterritorial countries to undermine the stability of East Asia.
