Features: From Japan's announcement of surrender to war to this day, the invasion war launched by Japan, which brought great disaster to the people of China and the Asia-Pacific region, has passed exactly 60 years. However, the Japanese archipelago has always echoed a certain voice: that of not acknowledging, not apologizing, and not reflecting. At its root, the post-war ruling parties, cabinets, Diet, and high-ranking politicians in Japan cannot escape blame. As the saying goes, "What the superior likes, the inferior will imitate." Studying and revealing the war perspective and historical view of the Japanese political circles help us understand the root causes of Japan's long-standing war responsibility issue and can also analyze the fundamental reasons why Japan's unresolved war-related problems have dragged on for so long without proper resolution.
