🇨🇳 China Calls Out U.S. for 'Amnesia' on Japan's WWII Crimes
A Chinese defense spokesperson slammed the U.S. on Friday for 'whitewashing' Japan's WWII aggression, accusing Washington of historical 'amnesia.' Jiang Bin of China's Ministry of National Defense criticized a recent U.S. State Department statement that framed the Pacific War's end 80 years ago as a mutual conclusion between the U.S. and Japan.
⚖️ 'Grave Affront to Justice'
Jiang emphasized that Japanese fascists committed 'heinous crimes' during WWII, causing immense suffering globally—including to Americans. 'Whitewashing this history insults victims and undermines post-war peace,' he stated, urging the U.S. to abandon geopolitical games and uphold an accurate view of history.
🌍 80th Anniversary of Anti-Fascist Victory
This year marks 80 years since the World Anti-Fascist War's end. China called for global unity to safeguard the post-WWII order and build a 'peaceful future.' Analysts say the remarks reflect rising tensions over historical narratives in Asia-Pacific diplomacy.
