On February 20, a shocking act by the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (Maritime Self-Defense Force) drew widespread attention at home and abroad. According to Japan's "Asahi Shimbun" report, 165 junior ** from the Sea of Japan collectively wore ** to visit the Yasukuni Shrine before going to sea to carry out their mission. This incident not only touched a sensitive nerve in Japan's attitude towards the history of the war, but also aroused the international community's concern about the resurgence of Japanese militarism.
In response to the incident, Ryo Sakai, chief of staff of the Maritime Self-Defense Force, admitted in a response on the 20th that it was true, but he defined the move as a "private visit to the shrine based on personal wishes" and said that Haizi "does not regard this as a problem and does not plan to investigate." Sakai's response seems to be an attempt to downplay the seriousness of this collective visit, downplaying it as a free choice of individuals.
However, Japanese military commentators have a different opinion on this. They believe that despite the claims of the Haizi side that this was an individual act, the fact that 165 junior ** acted collectively can actually be considered an "order". It is likely that this act of collective worship was carried out in some degree of organization or suggestion, rather than simply by personal choice.
The Yasukuni Shrine is a spiritual tool and symbol of Japanese militarism in waging wars of aggression against foreign countries. In the decades since the end of World War II, Japan's attitude toward the Yasukuni Shrine has always been an important bellwether on the issue of historical understanding. The visit of Japanese dignitaries is often regarded by the outside world as an evasion and denial of the history of aggression, thus triggering strong dissatisfaction from neighboring countries and widespread condemnation by the international community.
This collective visit to the shrine by the junior ** of the sea has undoubtedly pushed Japan to the cusp of history again. Although the chief of staff tried to justify the "private visit", it is difficult not to think of the organizational and directive nature that may exist behind such a large-scale collective action. The skepticism of military commentators also further points to the deeper problems that this incident may be hiding.
As far as Japan is concerned, a correct understanding and profound reflection on its history of aggression is the foundation for building healthy international relations. However, the Yasukuni Shrine issue has always been a stubborn problem in Japan's understanding of history, and it has constantly challenged the bottom line and patience of the international community. Japan and the military should profoundly understand that Japan's attitude toward history has a bearing not only on Japan's relations with neighboring countries, but also on Japan's own international image and future development.
The collective visit of 165 junior *** members of the sea is undoubtedly a serious impact on Japan and the international community. It reminds us once again that history cannot be forgotten and justice cannot be challenged. Japan and the military should deeply reflect on history, treat history with honesty and responsibility, and win the trust and respect of the international community with concrete actions.
In the future, we hope that Japan will adopt a more open and responsible attitude, face history squarely, respect facts, participate in regional and international affairs in a constructive manner, and jointly maintain a peaceful and stable international order. At the same time, the international community should remain highly vigilant and resolutely oppose any form of resurgence of militarism and historical regression.
