Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi on Monday sent a monetary offering to the Yasukuni Shrinein in Tokyo, a symbol of Japanese militarism and wartime aggression, for its autumn festival through senior officials of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). On the same day, land minister Tatsunori Ibayashi visited the notorious shrine, which honors 14 convicted Japanese Class-A war criminals from World War II, as did LDP election chief Yasutoshi Nishimura and a cross-party lawmakers' group. "China firmly opposes and sternly condemns these negative developments on the Japanese side, and has lodged solemn representations and a strong protest with Japan. Yasukuni Shrine serves as a spiritual instrument and symbol of Japanese militarism and its wars of aggression. It enshrines 14 Class-A war criminals who bear grave responsibility for those wars. Japanese leaders and politicians are well aware of this, yet they still pay homage there -- a fact that exposes their deeply ingrained, erroneous perception of history, as well as their sinister intent to absolve war criminals, overturn the verdict on their past aggression, and pave the way for 'remilitarization'," Mao said. "This year marks the 80th anniversary of the opening of the Tokyo Trials. We once again solemnly demand that Japan face history squarely, reflect upon its culpability, cease its regressive actions regarding historical issues, and take concrete steps to earn the trust of its Asian neighbors and the international community," she added. 　日本の高市早苗首相は、靖国神社に17日には内閣総理大臣名義で供物を、19日には祭祀料を奉納した。また、政権閣僚や自民党議員などが直接参拝している。 　中国外交部は19日の記者会見で、靖国神社をめぐる日本の後ろ向きの動きを強く非難し、戦争罪責を反省するよう日本に求めた。 　＜外交部　毛寧報道官＞ 　「中国は日本のこうした後ろ向きの動きに断固反対し、強く非難する。すでに厳正な申し入れと抗議を行った。靖国神社は日本の軍国主義が対外侵略戦争を仕掛けた際の精神的な道具と象徴であり、侵略戦争で重大な罪責を負うA級戦犯14人が合祀されている。日本の指導者や政治家たちはそれを十分承知しながらも崇拝し続けている。歴史問題に対する根深い誤った認識、さらには戦犯の罪を免れさせて侵略を正当化し、『再軍事化』への道を整えようとする邪悪な企みを露呈している」 　＜外交部　毛寧報道官＞ 　「今年は東京裁判の開廷から80周年にあたる。中国は改めて日本に対し、歴史を直視して戦争の罪責を反省し、歴史問題において逆行的な動きを止め、実際の行動によってアジア近隣諸国および国際社会の信頼を得るよう厳正に求める」 Chinese/Nats 中国語/自然音声 Beijing, China - Oct 19, 2026 (CCTV - No access Chinese mainland) 1.
