Spokesperson Guo Jiakun responded to a media request for comment after a cross-party group of 126 Japanese lawmakers on Wednesday reportedly visited the notorious Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo, a symbol of Japanese militarism and wartime aggression. "Japan's negative moves related to the Yasukuni Shrine constitute a blatant provocation against international justice and an affront to human conscience. China is strongly indignant and severely condemns it," he said. During World War II, Japan's militarism committed innumerable crimes, inflicting immense suffering on Asian countries including China, and the rest of the world. The Yasukuni Shrine is a spiritual tool and symbol of Japanese militarists’ war of aggression. It is in fact a shrine for war criminals, as it honors 14 convicted Class-A war criminals responsible for the war of aggression in WWII. "The nature of the issue concerning the Yasukuni Shrine is whether Japan is able to rightly perceive and deeply reflect on its history of militarist aggression, and whether it can learn lessons from history and avoid a repeat of that part of history. This bears on the political foundation of China-Japan relations, on Japan's credibility as a nation, and on the postwar international order as well as peace and justice in the world. The negative moves concerning the Yasukuni Shrine show that Japan, in total disregard of international concerns and just voices from both inside Japan and the world, has all along refused to acknowledge its history of aggression during WWII, attempted to change the verdict on its war of aggression and the Class-A war criminals, and even gone further to challenge the judgment of the Tokyo trials and postwar international order," Guo said. "Lately there has been a marked increase in the Japanese government's negative moves and reckless provocative acts on issues concerning China's Taiwan region and the history of WWII as well as military and security issues. Sanae Takaichi's erroneous remarks on Taiwan have had a grave impact on China-Japan relations. In the face of strong criticism and opposition from China as well as at home and abroad, some Japanese politicians and right-wing forces chose to go down the wrong path, rather than reflect on and correct their wrongdoings. The Chinese people, people in other countries that suffered under Japanese aggression, and all peace-loving forces for justice in the world will never allow this," he said. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the beginning of the Tokyo trials. The trials found Japanese militarism and militarists guilty of launching and executing the war of aggression and related crimes, thus upholding historical truth, international justice and human dignity. Today, 80 years later, Japanese neo-militarism is rearing its ugly head and gaining strength, threatening to cast a shadow on world peace and security. The international community must respond resolutely to prevent any possible resurgence of Japanese militarism, Guo said 　中国外交部の郭嘉昆報道官は22日の定例記者会見で、靖国神社に関する日本の一連のネガティブな動きについて「国際正義に対する公然たる挑発だ」として「悪行に強い憤りを覚え、強く非難する」と強調した。 　＜外交部　郭嘉昆報道官＞ 　「靖国神社に関する日本の一連のネガティブな動きは、国際正義に対する公然たる挑発であり、人類の良識を粗暴に踏みにじるものだ。中国はこうした悪行に対し強い憤りを覚え、強く非難する」 　＜外交部　郭嘉昆報道官＞ 　「靖国神社をめぐる問題の本質は、日本が軍国主義による侵略歴史を正しく認識し深く反省できるかどうか、また歴史から教訓を汲み取り、過ちを再び繰り返すことを回避できるかどうかにある。これは中日関係の政治的基盤、日本の国家としての信義、そして戦後国際秩序、ならびに国際的平和と正義に深く関わっている。靖国神社に関する日本の一連のネガティブな動きは、日本が国際社会の懸念と国内外の正当な声に全く耳を傾けず、第二次世界大戦における侵略の歴史を認めようとせず、侵略戦争とA級戦犯に対する判決をひっくり返そうとし、さらに東京裁判の判決や戦後国際秩序に異議を唱えてきたことを示している」 　＜外交部　郭嘉昆報道官＞ 　「このところ、日本政府は中国台湾、第二次世界大戦の歴史、軍事・安全保障などの問題においてネガティブな動きを見せ続け、挑発的で危険な行動を繰り返している。高市氏による台湾をめぐる誤った発言は、中日関係に深刻な打撃を与えている。中国をはじめ国内外から強い批判と反対の声があがっているにも関わらず、日本の一部の政治屋や右翼勢力は反省しないばかりか、むしろ前よりもエスカレーターしている。中国人民、日本軍の侵略を受けた各国の人々、そして平和を愛する世界のあらゆる正義の力は決して許さない」 　高市早苗首相は22日、靖国神社の春季例大祭に合わせ、自民党の有村治子総務会長を通じて自民総裁として私費で玉串料を納めた。21日には「内閣総理大臣 高市早苗」の名で「真榊」と呼ばれる供物を奉納した。 Chinese/Nats 中国語/自然音声 Beijing, China - April 22, 2026 (CCTV - No access Chinese mainland) 1.
