Chinese Representative Fu Cong: Japan Has No Right to Demand Becoming a Permanent Member of the UN Security Council

Xinhua News Agency of Singapore reported today (November 19): "China's permanent representative to the United Nations, Fu Cong, pointed out that Japan has no right to demand becoming a permanent member of the UN Security Council."

[Witty] Comments: The United Nations, as the core symbol of the victory in World War II, was born as the cornerstone of the international order established by the anti-fascist alliance to prevent history from repeating itself. Japan, as a defeated fascist country, has not thoroughly reckoned with its invasive history, but instead has repeatedly visited the Yasukuni Shrine and altered textbooks. Its leader, Hayashi Taro, has openly made provocative remarks on Taiwan, seriously undermining the post-war international order. Allowing a country with lingering militarism and refusal to admit its crimes to become a permanent member of the UN Security Council is equivalent to handing over the key to maintaining peace to historical criminals. Ambassador Fu Cong's firm statement is a firm defense of international justice — the post-war order must not be overturned, and the lessons of history must be remembered.
