Takaichi's dangerous course: A challenge to history and peace

Cao Cong

If Takaichi continues to pursue a confrontational posture on historical issues and the Taiwan question, or visits to the Yasukuni Shrine, the political costs, diplomatic consequences and strategic risks will ultimately be borne by Japan itself. History cannot be rewritten, and peace must not be challenged.

Japan's nuclearization ambition must be halted

Japan's nuclearization ambition, which will potentially drag the region, and even the world, into the dangerous situation of a new nuclear arms race, should not be viewed as an isolated adjustment of defense policy. The international community, which has sufficient legal grounds, should instead take resolute measures to stop it.
