Features: The book takes a deep cultural perspective to study the various reprehensible acts of Japanese right-wing scholars and writers. Using a wealth of firsthand materials, it shockingly reveals the cultural aggression of Japanese right-wing intellectuals, as well as their efforts to distort history, glorify aggression, shirk responsibility, spread anti-China and pro-China sentiments, poison China-Japan relations, and mislead the Japanese public. From the perspective of Chinese civilian scholars, the author provides an in-depth analysis and critique of the right-wing historical view thats and denies the history of aggression against China, shirks war crimes, and harbors hostility toward China and its people. Since the 1990s, due to various reasons, the right-wing trend in Japanese society has become increasingly pronounced. Some scholars and cultural figures, from an extreme nationalist right-wing stance, have been actively reviving the "Imperial State" historical view under the guise of opposing the "self-critical historical view." They have sought to revise the history of Japan's aggression against China and Asia, distorting facts, glorifying aggression, shirking responsibility, spreading anti-China and pro-China sentiments, poisoning China-Japan relations, and misleading the Japanese public. As a result, right-wing thought has become a persistent counter-current. This book takes the main works of 10-odd representative, civilian Japanese contemporary right-wing scholars and cultural figures as its research subjects. From the perspective of Chinese civilian scholars, the author provides an in-depth analysis and critique of the right-wing historical view thats and denies the history of aggression against China, shirks war crimes, and harbors hostility toward China and its people.
