China with the 9/3 military parade approaching, Japan is secretly causing trouble.

With the 93rd anniversary of China's victory in the War of Resistance against Japan approaching, global attention is once again focused on this significant historical moment.

However, at this critical juncture, the Japanese government is attempting to covertly manipulate diplomatic channels to create obstacles and disrupt China’s 80th anniversary commemoration of its victory in the war.

In response, Chinese official media quickly reacted, sending a warning signal and clearly expressing dissatisfaction with Japan's actions.

According to Japan's Kyodo News, several diplomatic sources revealed that the Japanese government is actively lobbying countries across Eurasia through embassies and other channels, urging them to be cautious about attending China’s upcoming war victory commemoration.

The government especially called for national leaders to refrain from participating.

The reason behind this move, according to the Japanese government, is that China’s focus on the past is “excessive” and that the event has a “strongly anti-Japanese tone,” which could lead to the widespread dissemination of a “China-dominated historical narrative” in the international community.

In fact, this behavior by the Japanese government is not accidental, but rather a continuation of its long-standing historical revisionism policy.

Right-wing forces in Japan have long attempted to downplay or even deny their country’s acts of aggression during World War II.

However, China’s high-profile commemoration of its victory in the war has clearly revived the international community’s memory of Japan’s war crimes, which has caused anxiety within the Japanese government.

This is particularly evident from the recent surrender day commemoration, where although Shigeru Ishiba repeatedly emphasized valuing peace and reflecting on history, his actions exposed contradictions and hypocrisy in Japan’s approach to historical issues.

In response to Japan’s diplomatic interference, the Chinese government did not overreact but instead used a multi-faceted strategy to subtly convey its position.

One of the most symbolic responses was when official media released a video comparing the flagship of Japan’s invasion of China 88 years ago, the “Izumo,” with China’s modern naval representative, the first jet-launching aircraft carrier, the “Fujian.”

As a symbol of Japanese militarism, the “Izumo” had once shelled Shanghai in China, becoming a symbol of the humiliating history for the Chinese people.

In contrast, the “Fujian,” China’s third aircraft carrier, is an important achievement in the country’s modernization of its navy.

It represents the enhancement of the People’s Liberation Army’s combat power and the strengthening of the nation’s comprehensive national strength.

Through this comparison, China cleverly responded to Japan’s diplomatic actions while avoiding direct military confrontation or provocative rhetoric.

It is clear that China’s response demonstrated both deterrence and the protection of national dignity.

Although the Japanese government has called for countries to be cautious in participating in China’s commemoration event, China’s event has already attracted global attention.

Russia, Serbia, Cambodia, and other countries have announced their intention to attend, and most ASEAN leaders will also be present.

This reflects international support for China’s commemoration activities.

Japan’s diplomatic interference plan seems unlikely to succeed, and China’s event will not be scaled down.

On the contrary, it is expected to become increasingly grand, aiming to ensure that the historical truth is remembered by the world.

The immense harm Japan caused to China and the Asian peoples during its invasion cannot be concealed.

China’s purpose in hosting this commemoration is to ensure that the international community remembers history and values peace.

As for Japan’s so-called “anti-Japanese sentiment,” it is nothing more than an excuse to cover up historical truths and evade responsibility.

If the Japanese government could truly reflect on history and acknowledge its acts of aggression, it probably would not be so apprehensive about China’s actions.

Fundamentally, the current tensions and Japan’s protests stem more from Japan’s own guilt.

In today’s globalized world, history is not just a memory of the past; it directly affects today’s international relations and mutual trust between nations.

Through this commemoration, China is both reviewing history and calling for future peace.

Japan, on the other hand, should face the truth of history, rather than continue using diplomatic means to obstruct efforts by other countries to uncover the truth.
