Shi Pomao published 80 years after the war, “Personal views”, expert interpretation: the need for political courage, but also limitations<\/p>\n
On the evening of October 10, outgoing Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiguro issued a post-war 80 years of\u201cPersonal views.\u201d. According to a report in the Japanese economic news on the 10th, Shigeru’s\u201cPersonal opinion\u201d is about 6,000 words in 7 pages of A4 paper. It starts with the government and the parliamentary system to analyze the reasons why Japan went into a reckless war, clearly stated that\u201cInherited the past prime minister to talk about the historical cognitive position.\u201d.<\/p>\n

In his opening remarks, Shi said that \u201cIn the 50,60 and 70 years since the end of the war, I have issued Prime Minister of Japan talks and inherited the positions of the previous cabinet on historical cognition.\u201d. Shi said the question of\u201cWhy the war was not averted\u201d had not been touched much in the past three conversations. Focusing on\u201cWhy the domestic political system failed to contain the war\u201d, this paper analyzes the problems existing in the constitution, the government, the parliament, the media and the collection and analysis of information in Japan at that time, said that\u201cPre-war Japan, the lack of political and military integration of the appropriate mechanism\u201d, \u201cThe right to command\u201d the meaning of the gradually expanded interpretation, the parliament, which was supposed to control the military, gradually lost its function.<\/p>\n
Shi said politicians must have the dignity and sense of responsibility not to give in to irresponsible populism and not to drift with the tide. Parliament and the media should act as checks and balances to prevent the government from misjudging. \u201cWe must always remain humble in the face of history and take the lessons to heart,\u201d he said<\/p>\n
Xiang haoyu, a research fellow at the China Institute of International Studies asia-pacific Institute, told the Global Times on the 10th that, for the first time in a post-war Japanese Prime Minister, Shigeru explained in depth and comprehensively, in the form of his\u201cPersonal opinion,\u201d why Japan went to war and the internal mechanism by which political power failed to prevent it, that’s why he insisted on publishing his thoughts. In the current political ecology, Shi po-mao made this talk needs political courage, should be affirmed.<\/p>\n
According to the Sankei Shimbun, despite Shi’s\u201cPersonal views\u201d in the form of the release of content, but the Liberal Democratic Party’s position against strong opposition. The President of the Liberal Democratic Party, Takaichi Zaomiao, made clear his opposition. \u201cThe post-war 70-year-old dialogue is the best version, and there is no need for new statements,\u201d the Sankei said in a commentary, this position highlights the liberal democratic party in the\u201cConservative return\u201d trend, on the issue of historical awareness of the line differences.<\/p>\n
In response, Xiang haoyu analyzed that the sharp differences within the LDP around Shigeru’s\u201cPersonal views\u201d deeply reflect the deep rifts in the LDP and even in Japan’s domestic understanding of history, and the fierce struggle between different political lines in Japanese politics. The significance of Ishiguro’s \u201cPersonal views\u201d, he says, is a deep reflection on the political and institutional failings of pre-war Japan, pointing in part to the historical revisionism that is now spreading in the country, it can also be seen as a tactful warning to the right-wing conservative forces represented by Takashi Saomori. But the warning has limited practical effect and can not fundamentally change the distorted view of history and Revisionism in Japanese society.<\/p>\n
It is worth noting that when it comes to historical perception, shigeru only stated that he\u201cInherited the position of the previous cabinet\u201d, while TBS said he\u201cAvoided directly mentioning the responsibility of the war\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe must pay attention to the limitations of Shi’s ‘personal views, ‘\u201d da Zhigang, a researcher at the Northeast Asia Institute of the Heilongjiang Academy of Social Sciences, told the global times, it is a pity that his speech proposed a direction worthy of reconsideration, which is of some positive significance, but evaded Japan’s harmful responsibility and the essence of aggression. It can also be seen from the content of his previous speech to the General Assembly that he similarly avoided key expressions such as\u201cAggression\u201d and\u201cApology\u201d and did not face up to Japan’s responsibility for the perpetrators of the war, it was therefore hard to expect that it would offer a sincere apology to the people of the affected countries for Japan’s history of aggression.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
