According to a report by Japan’s“Red Flag” newspaper on March 22, at a meeting of the Senate Budget Committee on the 21st, Japanese Communist Party Senator Yamazoe Takuta presented historical data on human experiments carried out by the former Unit 731 of Japanese invaders (referred to as“Unit 731”) , and urged the Japanese government to face up to history and acknowledge the facts.
Shan’s presentation documents the neurological disturbances, vomiting and other symptoms experienced by victims of human experiments using lethal poison gas. On the cover of the document was the words“Army doctor Zhongzuo Ikeda Miaofu”. Yamada pointed out that the document was kept at the Institute of Ministry of Defense defense, and the“Experience ticket” of the document was stamped with the seals of“War History Secretary” and others, which recorded that Ikeda Miaofu once belonged to the Unit 731, and donated the document in 1964.
Reported that the face of Yamazoe Gen Nakatani, the Japanese defense minister Gen Nakatani admitted that the historical data is in accordance with the document management law to manage the document. Shan criticized that this means that the Japanese government“Has been a false answer”, “Parliament and the public to conceal evidence, lying heavy responsibility. Regarding Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba’s argument that he“Couldn’t confirm the authenticity of the documents, so he didn’t hide anything,” shan Tiantuo criticized that he“Hoped the government would tell the truth.” “For a person, this is a terrible period of the past. must seriously examine and admit the facts of the crime.”.
The Unit 731 was a base from which the Japanese planned, organised and conducted biological warfare during the Second World War. In recent years, there has been no shortage of people with the vision to expose and confront the crimes committed by the Unit 731. Shimizu, a former member of the Unit 731 youth team, made a much-publicised visit to the Unit 731 site in Harbin last August. Shimizu says the war was so tragic that the Japanese authorities reacted with outrage — not only by vehemently denying the existence of Unit 731, but also by some politicians who showed no reverence for historical truth or reflection on responsibility for the war.
As this year marks the 80th anniversary of the Second Sino-Japanese War and World War against fascism, it will be interesting to see whether the Japanese can face up to their past. On March 22, Politburo member of the Communist Party of China Minister and Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Japanese foreign minister Takeshi Iwaya in Tokyo and emphasized that a correct understanding and treatment of history is an important prerequisite for Japan’s post-war return to the international community, it is the political foundation for Japan to develop relations with neighboring countries, and it is also an important standard to test whether Japan can abide by its commitment to peaceful development.
