On November 12, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Mao Ning presided over a regular press conference. A reporter asked: Today is the 78th anniversary of the Tokyo trial. What comments does the Chinese side have on this? Mao Ning said that 78 years ago today, after two and a half years of trial, the Tokyo trial used extensive irrefutable evidence and strict legal principles to determine that the Japanese militarists launched a war of aggression and seriously violated international law, and that 25 Class A war criminals were duly punished. The crimes of Japanese militarism have been revealed to the world, and they have been firmly anchored in the historical pillar of shame. The Tokyo trial was an important part of the post-war international order. Acknowledging and accepting the Tokyo trial was a prerequisite for Japan's return to the international community after the war. It is outrageous that over the years, Japan's right-wing forces have ignored the historical findings of the Tokyo trial, vigorously denied and even glorified the crime of aggression, and promoted false historical views.
