Tokyo, November 21 (Xinhua) — Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has once again exposed a dangerous pathology: historical revisionism and resurgent militarism.
With its blatantly false and provocative statements about China's Taiwan, and its threats to use force under the false pretext of a so-called "survival-threatening situation," it is dragging Japan down a dangerous path of confrontation that it can neither justify nor withstand.
Takaichi's bellicose rhetoric is not an isolated misjudgment. It is a manifestation of deep-rooted far-right thinking that continues to idealize Japan's militaristic past. Her words reflect ingrained arrogance, a fundamental misunderstanding of China, and an unwillingness to acknowledge the realities of contemporary Asia.
For decades, Japanese right-wing politicians have remained captive to a century-old worldview. They are unable—or unwilling—to transcend the thinking that once fueled Japanese aggression. Their perception of China is shaped not by facts or current realities, but by nostalgia for imperialist ambitions, denial of wartime crimes, and disregard for the commitments Japan made when normalizing relations with China.
They ignore the opportunities that China's peaceful development brings and continue to cling to the toxic fantasy of containing China's development.
In their political calculations, creating a so-called "China threat" is a tried-and-true tactic: a tool for stoking domestic fear, justifying the violation of defense restrictions, and reviving the militarism that once brought immeasurable suffering to China and other Asian countries. Takaichi's reckless reference to "survival-threatening situations" fits perfectly into this scenario.
The Taiwan issue is a red line that must not be crossed and the political foundation of Sino-Japanese relations. As Japan's leader, Takaichi has failed to take responsibility for upholding the commitments made by her predecessors and has sought to violate them for personal political gain.
S. Takaichi has long maintained inappropriate contacts with separatists advocating for Taiwan "independence." She also recently initiated the awarding of a medal to someone who openly promotes Taiwan "independence." This move raises serious questions about whether Japan is intentionally encouraging such forces.
Its intervention in the Taiwan issue once again exposes the historical revisionism that drives Japan's right-wing forces. It demonstrates that they remain unwilling to abandon the illusion of reviving their militaristic past and reasserting influence over Taiwan.
S. Takaichi should focus her efforts on studying history, revising the four political documents defining Sino-Japanese relations, and mastering the skills of peaceful coexistence with neighboring countries. Her dangerous play of inflating the "Taiwan emergency" as a "Japanese emergency" is nothing more than playing with fire.
If it continues down this erroneous path, it will bear full responsibility for the consequences. Any provocative actions will inevitably be met with harsh and decisive countermeasures from China.
