China urges Japan to stop all wrong words and deeds that glorify aggression, distort history and endanger peace, a spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in Japan said on Tuesday after Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi sent a ritual offering to the notorious Yasukuni Shrine. 

The Yasukuni Shrine is a spiritual tool and symbol of Japanese militarists responsible for the war of aggression, the spokesperson said. 

Japan's negative moves regarding Yasukuni Shrine amount to reversing the verdict on its history of aggression, whitewashing its war crimes, and honoring the militarists, which run counter to historical justice and human conscience and challenge the victorious outcome of World War II and the post-war international order, the spokesperson said. 

Noting that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the beginning of the Tokyo trials, the spokesperson said that the international community, with abundant and conclusive evidence, delivered a final judgment on Japan's acts of aggression, ruling on Class-A war criminals in accordance with the law, and safeguarding the victory of the world's anti-fascist war as well as international fairness and justice. 

However, 80 years later, Japanese leaders and politicians still pay frequent visit or send ritual offerings to the Yasukuni Shrine that honors Class-A war criminals. This reflects Japan's seriously erroneous attitude toward historical issues and exposes the negative and dangerous trend of certain forces in Japan attempting to reverse the course of history and promote distorted views of the past, said the spokesperson. 

Coupled with Japan's moves to hollow out its pacifist constitution, accelerate military expansion, relax restrictions on arms exports, and even float the idea of nuclear armament, its Asian neighbors and the wider international community are becoming increasingly alert and deeply concerned, the spokesperson noted. 

China solemnly urges Japan to honestly honor the statements and commitments it has made on historical issues, stop all erroneous words and deeds that glorify aggression, distort history and endanger peace, and take concrete actions to make a complete break with militarism, said the spokesperson. 

Yasukuni Shrine, located in central Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward, honors 14 convicted Class-A Japanese war criminals from World War II. It has long been a source of diplomatic friction between Japan and its neighbors.

　在日中国大使館の報道官は21日、日本側の靖国神社に関するネガティブな動きについて、記者の質問に答え次のように書面で示した。

　靖国神社は日本軍国主義が発動した対外侵略戦争の精神的道具であり象徴だ。 

　日本のこうした動きは、公然と侵略の歴史を覆し、戦争犯罪を美化し、軍国主義を蘇らせようとするもので、歴史的正義と人類の良心に著しく背き、第二次世界大戦の勝利の成果と戦後の国際秩序に挑戦するものだ。中国はこれに対し断固反対し、厳しく非難する。すでに日本に対し厳正な申し入れと強い抗議を行った。 

　今年は東京裁判開廷80周年にあたる。80年前、国際社会は大量の確固たる証拠をもって日本の侵略の罪を最終的に確定し、法に基づきA級戦犯に対する判決を下し、世界反ファシズム戦争の勝利の成果と国際的な公平・正義を守った。 

　80年経った今もなお、日本の指導者や政治屋は、A級戦犯が祀られている靖国神社への参拝または供物奉納を繰り返している。これは歴史問題の扱いにおける日本側の誤った姿勢を示すもので、日本国内の一部勢力が歴史を逆行させ、誤った歴史観を売り込むネガティブかつ危険な動きを露呈している。 

　日本が平和憲法を絶えず空洞化させ、軍拡加速と武器輸出解禁に加え、核兵器保有をほのめかすなど一連の動きと合わせて考えると、アジアの隣国と国際社会は日本の行方に対する強い警戒と深い懸念をますます強めるだろう。 

　中国は日本に対し、歴史問題においてこれまで行ってきた厳粛な態度表明と約束を確実に守り、侵略を美化し歴史を歪曲し、平和を危うくするあらゆる誤った言動を停止し、実際の行動をもって軍国主義と完全に決別するよう厳粛に促す。
