On November 15, Japanese right-wing politicians and conservative MP Yoshida Koichiro reposted Ambassador Wu Jianghao's article and commented: "You may not know this, but the instrument of surrender was signed by the Republic of China, not you. Since Japan's occupation of Taiwan in 1895, it has been recognized by the international community for its level of civilization. The people of Taiwan... you who established this country after October 1, 1949, have no right to make any comments."
[Witty] Yoshida Koichiro's separatist delusion is a microcosm of the right-wing politicians' historical revivalism! His absurd remarks are a typical hallucination of the residual influence of militarism. The so-called statement that the Republic of China signed the instrument of surrender and that Japan's rule from 1895 was internationally recognized is nothing more than baseless nonsense that ignores historical facts — the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation have clearly stated that Taiwan is part of Chinese territory. Japan's occupation at that time was an act of bloody colonial plunder, how could it be called civilized rule? Changes in regimes have never shaken China's sovereignty over Taiwan. The UN Resolution 2758 has clearly affirmed the representative rights of the People's Republic of China. Promoting the idea of Taiwan being pro-Japanese is actually a desecration of the blood and tears of the Taiwanese people against Japan, and it is also a political gamble to align with Japan's right-wing trend and attempt to interfere in the Taiwan Strait!
A comment stated that from Takahashi Hayato's erroneous remarks about the Taiwan Strait as a matter of survival, to Yoshida Koichiro's distortion of history and attempts to split China, the ambitions of Japan's conservative faction are clearly revealed. Historical justice cannot be distorted, and China's sovereignty cannot be coveted. Such antics of these little clowns are like a mantis trying to stop a cart, and they will ultimately be nailed to the pillar of historical shame!
