As the 93rd military parade approaches, Japan is becoming more active, starting to lobby countries not to attend the 93rd military parade.

???? What are their reasons: too much emphasis on history and strong anti-Japanese sentiment propaganda.

???? What are their concerns: the correct historical narrative is widely spread, breaking their efforts to beautify their aggression, causing international public opinion to dislike Japan, as they have continued to beautify their aggression and refuse to acknowledge the Nanjing Massacre, and now even refuse to admit their defeat.

???? What truth do they want to hide: by altering textbooks and rewriting history, they portray the invading forces of that time as a great endeavor that helped Asia move toward modern civilization, depict the invaders as heroes who protected Japan, and erase all the brutal acts. They want the world to forget the Nanjing Massacre, the 731 Unit, and the comfort women, and only remember the so-called "Great East Asian War", how badly they lost against the United States, without letting the world remember the huge damage they caused to various parts of Asia, trying to portray themselves as victims.

???? What can they not do: The evidence of the Nanjing Massacre has been listed in the UNESCO World Heritage List. China now has the ability to control the historical narrative; they fear the full implementation of the Potsdam Proclamation. They can only watch movies like "Nanjing Photo Studio" and "731" being released and spread worldwide, and they can no longer control the public opinion.

???? What other actions are they taking: After the end of World War II, the Japanese Constitution clearly stipulates that Japan is prohibited from possessing an army, allowing only a certain degree of Self-Defense Forces. However, they currently have 147 F35s, 400 Tomahawk missiles, 8 Aegis destroyers, and 7 quasi-aircraft carriers. They repeatedly cause trouble on issues such as the Taiwan Strait, South China Sea, and the Diaoyu Islands, actively provoking.
