On January 8, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Mao Ning presided over a regular press conference. Some reporters asked questions. According to reports, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Zakharova recently commented on Russia's revocation of the Japanese war criminal settlement decision, saying that in 2026, Russia will continue to uncover war crimes committed by Japanese militarism. There is no statute of limitations for prosecuting such atrocities, and proceedings aimed at punishing all criminals are still ongoing. What comments does the Chinese side have on this? “We highly appreciate Russia's just act of defending historical truth.” Mao Ning pointed out that since modern times, Japanese militarism has continued to invade and expand against foreign countries, committing untold heinous crimes, and brought great harm to humanity. However, after the war, Japanese militarism was not completely liquidated. Japan's right-wing forces tried their best to glorify the history of aggression, blatantly denies historical crimes such as the Nanjing Massacre, forced recruitment of comfort women, and forced labor recruitment, and pushed for the revision of history textbooks in an attempt to reverse the history of aggression. Many current Japanese leaders have visited Yasukuni Shrine, which symbolizes the spirit of militarism, and paid homage to Class A war criminals. Some politicians portray tension, incite public opinion, and use the opportunity to push for a stronger military. The virtue of militarism transformed and grew after the war, and even formed planned actions. It is becoming a new risk threatening the peace and stability of Asia and the world. Mao Ning said that only by remembering history, deeply reflecting, and truly repenting reform through practical actions can we create the future and avoid the recurrence of the scourge of war. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the Tokyo trial. The Far East International Military Court's trial of Japanese war criminals severely punished a group of culprits who had their hands covered in the blood of the people of the affected countries, upheld international justice and maintained human dignity. It was also a strong warning against any illegal attempt to revive militarism and further aggression and expansion. If Japan's right-wing forces insist on doing the opposite, all countries and people that believe in justice have the right to re-establish responsibility for Japan's historical crimes.
