On August 19, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Lin Jian presided over a regular press conference. Some reporters asked questions. We are concerned that Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov said to the media on the 17th that he hopes Japan will read the Charter of the United Nations fully and carefully, including Article 107 and the “enemy clause.” Japan joined the United Nations while acknowledging the crimes of militarism and acknowledging the full contents of the UN Charter. If the Japanese leadership tried to break through its own constitutional restrictions, rewrite international law, and evade historical responsibilities, of course, it would cause serious concern. What comments does the Chinese side have on this? Lin Jian said that China is in agreement with Foreign Minister Lavrov's statement that the “enemy clause” is an important provision of the United Nations Charter. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the Tokyo trial. It reaffirms the meaning of the enemy clause and emphasizes the binding force of this provision, which is of great significance in defending the victory of the Chinese people in the War of Resistance against Japan and the World War against Fascism, and strictly preventing the specter of militarism from resurfacing. Today, however, the Takaichi government is avoiding talking about Japan's historical crimes. Not only is it not reflecting, it is also seeking ways to abandon pacifism, break through the Japanese Constitution and international and domestic regulations, and attempt to accelerate “remilitarization.” This is a blatant challenge to the post-war international order. All peace-loving countries in the world should work together to resist and stop the dangerous trend of Japan's right-wing forces, and jointly maintain the achievements of victory in World War II and the post-war international order to prevent historical tragedies from happening again.
