Emperor Naruhito of Japan and Prime Minister Ishiba Shigeru did not mention Japan's responsibility for its aggression or offer any apology for the pain and sacrifices suffered by Asian countries during the 80th anniversary commemoration ceremony. This nation, in any era and through any language, has never truly reflected or repented, nor has it ever taken responsibility for the war. The reason they are currently suppressing their ambitions and thoughts is because they have become a second-rate country without opportunities, but they have been waiting for the right moment.
