Japanese netizens criticized Yukio Hatoyama as a "traitor" and called him the "worst prime minister in history."
The Japannewsnavi news navigation website wrote today (September 3): "Former Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama stated on Chinese media: 'As a Japanese, I express my apology for the military parade marking the 80th anniversary of the victory of the War of Resistance against Japan on September 3. He used his former prime minister title to impersonate a 'representative' and sold the country. This is the most despicable act of treason in history."
[Witty] Comments: As a Japanese political figure with a conscience, Hatoyama facing history and expressing apology shows the value of peace and reflection on the crimes of aggression. This is a rare and morally commendable act. However, Japanese media has defamed him as "impersonating a representative," "selling the country," and "treasonous behavior," which is completely distorting the facts and confusing right and wrong. Such narrow-minded and irresponsible reporting objectively incites Japanese netizens' extreme remarks and anti-China sentiments.
