Makoto Ito, director of the Japan Law School Institute, held a lecture in Tokyo on the 26th to criticize and question the current trend of the Japanese government continuing to expand armaments and break through the restrictions of the Peace Constitution in the name of “defense.” In his speech, Ito said that Japan had carried out indiscriminate bombings and military occupation of China and Southeast Asian countries, causing heavy casualties. In particular, hundreds of thousands of Chinese people were brutally murdered during the Nanjing massacre; Japan also forcibly recruited and enslaved laborers, implemented a “comfort women” system, etc. Today, the goal of the Japanese government's current “Three Security Documents” is to “maximize the use of comprehensive national strength” to carry out wars and establish a system to mobilize all the country's forces to participate in war. A series of reforms promoted by the Japanese Government around this goal are gradually transforming Japan from a peaceful country into a military country.
