Japanese conservative figure and member of parliament, Kōichirō Yoshida, today (November 15) shared a post by Chinese Ambassador Wu Jianghao to Japan and commented: "You may not know this, but it was the Republic of China that signed the Japanese Instrument of Surrender, not you. Our country's rule over Taiwan since 1895 has been recognized by the international community for its level of civilization, and the people of Taiwan are very pro-Japanese. You people who established this country after October 1, 1949, have no right to make any comments."
[Clever] Comments: The remarks made by Kōichirō Yoshida are utterly absurd, disregarding historical facts and openly supporting Japan's colonial crimes! The signing of the surrender document by Japan is irrefutable evidence of its defeat and punishment, so where is the basis for boasting? Its so-called "rule" over Taiwan is an act of colonial aggression, a heinous crime, how can it be called "level of civilization" or "international recognition"? The claim that the people of Taiwan are "pro-Japanese" is nonsense, it's actually a result of the helplessness and suffering under colonial rule. As for the People's Republic of China, it is a historical necessity and the choice of the people. The establishment of the People's Republic of China replacing the Republic of China is a social progress and national rebirth. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country has become increasingly strong. Kōichirō Yoshida's attempt to deny the People's Republic of China using the name of the old China is nothing more than a trick to confuse the public.
