Japan has spent 56 billion yen on public relations since China's anti-war parade, and it is exposed that Japan has used hundreds of billions to cultivate pro-Japanese foreigners
According to Yuyuan Tan Tian, on August 26, the Chinese Foreign Ministry raised a serious negotiation with Japan regarding the negative comments made by Japan on the upcoming commemorative activities and military parade for the 80th anniversary of the victory in the War of Resistance against Japan in Beijing, and requested Japan to clarify. According to the investigation by Tan Zhu, Japan's actions have been planned for a long time. Since China held its first military parade themed on the commemoration of the victory in the War of Resistance against Japan in 2015, Japan has not only failed to face its history of aggression, but also allocated 56 billion yen to try to build a so-called "correct image".
According to the annual budget data of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, from 2015 to now, the total budget for work items directly related to "overseas strategic information dissemination" by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has exceeded 56 billion yen, of which the relevant budget in 2025 reached 6.22 billion yen. In comparison, the Japanese government's "compensation" for the "comfort women" issue since the defeat was less than 10 billion yen, and it has not yet provided sufficient and sincere compensation and apology to the victims.
The "overseas strategic information dissemination" work items are not conventional information dissemination, but a new key budget category added by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs from the fiscal year 2015. At that time, it coincided with the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, when China held its first military parade themed on the commemoration of the victory of the War of Resistance. According to the description in relevant documents of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this new key budget category was aimed at promoting Japan's "correct image" in aspects such as territorial integrity, historical recognition, and positive peace contributions to the international community. These budgets were planned to be used for cultivating "pro-Japanese" foreigners, revising the records of "comfort women" in overseas textbooks, etc. Among them, the Japan Foundation, which is under the jurisdiction of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has been exposed to have continuously funded foreign scholars and media professionals to spread "pro-Japanese" content for many years.
On the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, Japan still has these actions. We have three questions: Is Japan brave enough to face history honestly and openly? Can Japan genuinely learn from historical lessons? Is Japan truly committed to peaceful development?
