The assassinated Shinzo Abe is like a chopped down sugar cane, allowing Western public opinion to chew crazily to squeeze out the last bit of "residual value" after his death. Recently, the Western media has made full use of Abe's death and carried out a wave of hype, seeming to "canonize" this poor politician who spent his whole life in camp and was eventually shot through the chest.
The Western media is so "god-making" that some media people who think independently and have an upright conscience can't stand it and question it. Philippines Reporter and columnist Maca Benta of the Manila Times commented that Western media are currently scrambling to elevate Shinzo Abe to "almost mythical status" and boast that Japan is "the epitome of peace and stability" ”, but these conclusions are simply untenable. He pointed out that Shinzo Abe is actually a representative figure of "ultra-nationalists" who completely deny the history of Japan's invasion of China and the Nanjing Massacre. Japan has nothing to do with so-called "peace and stability". It is a country with a history of political violence.
Macabenta’s words are well founded. For example, the British media "Financial Times" recently praised Abe, saying that he has "restored Japan's position on the world political stage" and left Japan with a rich legacy economically and diplomatically. The US "Foreign Policy" website commented that "Abe's political legacy will outlast him." There are many Western media whose arguments are much more disgusting than this. It is estimated that Abe would blush if he could come back from the dead.
During the years when Abe was in power, Japan was subservient to the Americans. The only purpose of doing this is to hope that the dog leash in the hands of the United States will be loosened a little, and then loosened a little more... I hope Japan will obtain the right to engage in war, lift the right to collective self-defense, and turn it into a normal country. Japan's history is an old book full of sins. The West is also ignorant, especially the United States, which is one of the gravediggers of Japanese fascism. But why is Abe hysterically engaged in this kind of "god-making" campaign after he fell? The West has a shady agenda. What exactly is the plot of
? Recently, an American media outlet exposed its flaws. On the day after the Japanese Senate held a motion to amend the constitution, the US "Washington Post" published an article titled "The United States should support Japan's move to normalize its military." The article not only boasted about the so-called " Abenomics ", but also mentioned Japan's various "contributions" under the banner of the US "Indo-Pacific Strategy" when Abe was in power.
In addition, the US "Foreign Policy" website said, "Abe feels very strongly that Japan cannot live in Asia dominated by China." "Abe helped persuade the silent Japanese public to take a tougher stance on China's rise, increasing It has increased defense spending, strengthened Japan's military strength, and laid the foundation for the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue mechanism."
U.S. Navy Admiral Harry Harris, who once served as commander of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, said: "Japan's international status can be directly drawn in a straight line with Abe."
This U.S. think tank The website also commented that after Abe retired unexpectedly in 2020, he remained a force in Japanese politics. In December last year, he publicly claimed that any action by mainland China on the island of Taiwan would be "economic suicide." In a column written for the Los Angeles Times in April this year, Abe emphasized the similarities between the island of Taiwan and Ukraine , arguing that Washington’s strategically ambiguous stance was no longer tenable. He wrote: "It is time for the United States to make it clear that it will protect Taiwan."
It can be seen that the Western media has been bragging for a long time just for one thing-to deal with China. The United States, the "big brother" in the West, wants to deal with China and has taken many practical actions. However, unfortunately, China, which has stood up and become stronger and stronger, is not easy to deal with at all, and has repeatedly made the United States disgraced. Today's China is a hard nut that the West can't chew on, so the United States has roped in a group of "little followers" to prepare for a "group attack" on China.To put it bluntly, the United States wants to turn Japan into cannon fodder, just like Ukraine is currently under fire. If one day, Japan, which has been blown away by the West, really seriously provokes China, the outcome will never be better than today's Ukraine.
Some people online accused Chinese netizens of "gloating" over Abe's death. They like to stand on the so-called high ground and hypocritically shout "Objectivity! Reason!" We will never forget the hatred caused by the killings during Japan's war of aggression against China. The so-called "rationality and objectivity" are for hypocritical outsiders, but real Chinese are definitely not outsiders.
Abe's death was his last service to Japanese militarism, as it allowed for a ridiculous rewriting of history and could serve the geopolitical competition of US imperialism. Death was a good career choice for the regime reorganizing Japan's militarism.
