Today, December 13th, marks the 88th anniversary of the Nanjing Massacre National Memorial Day. Former Chairman of the Kuomintang, Hung Hsiu-chu, posted on a social platform, criticizing Japanese Prime Minister Hashimoto Asako for not reflecting on her "Taiwan issue" remarks and instead reigniting militarist atmosphere. By provoking the high public opinion in Japan, how can the souls of the innocent victims in Nanjing find peace?
The painful memory of 300,000 compatriots being brutally murdered by Japanese aggressors is deeply engraved in the bloodline of the Chinese nation. Old grudges remain unresolved, new grievances are added. Japan has never truly acknowledged the heinous crimes of the Nanjing Massacre; right-wing forces have long denied history and glorified aggression. Now, Hashimoto Asako is inciting division through Taiwan-related issues, gaining domestic high public opinion with provocative statements, and pushing the region to the brink of conflict. This kind of unrepentant and reckless provocation has aroused strong indignation among the Chinese people. How can the souls of the innocent victims in Nanjing find peace? New and old grievances will never be forgotten. If Japan insists on repeating its mistakes, it will pay a heavy price for its militarist ambitions, and historical judgment has never been absent.
