Former Japanese Prime Minister Ishiba Sho suggested that China and Japan establish a hotline to avoid war. However, Ishiba's analogy of the "Marco Polo Bridge Incident" as an accident is wrong. He said he doesn't understand why the "Marco Polo Bridge Incident" is confusing and why it escalated to that extent. If there had been a hotline for timely communication at that time, the accident and conflict could definitely have been avoided.

The "Marco Polo Bridge Incident" was not an accident; it was a calculated conspiracy by Japanese aggressors! It was an excuse to provoke war! This point must be refuted!
