Reasonably speaking, Japan may really be a bit anxious and scared:
A report from Kyodo News, Japan has urged countries to carefully consider participating in the "80th Anniversary of the World Anti-Fascist Victory" event. I specifically searched for Japanese media reports, and major Japanese media outlets such as Kyoto Shimbun and Fukui Shimbun have all reprinted this content, so this news should be a widely reported message by Japanese media.
The report roughly means that: Japan has been urging European and Asian countries through diplomatic channels not to participate in the commemorative activities of the 80th anniversary of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, to prevent the pro-China historical view from spreading internationally. Moreover, Japan told European and Asian countries that this commemorative activity emphasizes history too much and has a strong anti-Japanese color, and countries should be cautious about participating.
Anyway, Japan's situation has been off for these years. First of all, when we previously shot films on the theme of the War of Resistance Against Japan, we did not see such a big reaction from Japan. However, now that we are shooting "Nanjing Photo Studio" and "Unit 731", Japan's actions are very large, and the opposition voices are very strong. Second, 10 years ago when we commemorated the 70th anniversary, we didn't see Japan make such a big move either.
It seems that Japan is really getting anxious.
