Challenge history is the challenge of the future (Bell)

The people's daily (August 12, 2014 version 03)

If the media don't know how responsible for history, how can we take on the future of the country, the fate of the people responsible for the task?

Recently, Japan's Asahi Shimbun published a statement, cancelled a set from 1991 to 1992 violence proved that the Japanese in Jeju Island series of strong women to become sex slaves into captivity. This thing came out, Japan right-wing media are cheering.

Revocation of the Asahi article is Abe, under the leadership of Japan rising rightist product. It also let the international community see clearly, step by step slide down along the right road, Japan is becoming a mess of countries.

Over time, Japan public opinion challenging human justice farces one after another. Meanwhile, fabrications, deliberate alienation of China's relations with other countries, China-related reports particularly conspicuous.

Late last year, Japan's Asahi Shimbun said today, Russia's Foreign Minister, Defense Minister, "2+2" talks, Japan hopes to strengthen Russia's relationship to contain China. Subsequently, Russia to Japan "to contain China through talks," vehemently opposed to the idea.

Last month, Japan's Kyodo News early exposure, scheduled for August 1 released by Japan and Brazil Joint Declaration, said in a statement that contains a "counterbalancing" content. In the Joint Declaration and the final release, not involving the East China Sea and South China Sea issues, did not even include "maritime disputes".

In malicious rendering the so-called "China threat", some Japan media has a exotic impulse. The Chinese Government published the annual defense spending, immediately commented that "China's defence spending overt military route of expansion is a threat to peace" and Chinese to solemnly commemorate the "Marco Polo Bridge incident" has come to be interpreted as a "China threat" palpable "; China holds its annual routine military exercises," with a high possibility of Japan and the United States as potential enemies "guess followed the release.

Even worse is that after being slapped were loud fan, demagogy, inciting opposition Japan media was as calm as nothing has happened to live, did not reflect on meaning of repentance.

Abe's Government and Japan Media Relations Manager "on a roll" is no longer a secret. It is in this context, in denying even beautify its history of aggression, malicious, rendering the so-called "China threat", the artificial atmosphere tense security situation in the region, Japan media coverage with the Abe Government's pace dramatically in harmony. United Kingdom the Economist magazine recently published review pointed out that Abe, change media position is a strategic priority. Japan media is quite obedient and even unhealthy.

In terms of media manipulation as a militarist war of aggression campaign, Japan has a shameful history of the Government. During the Sino-Japanese war, Japan by manipulating the Government even bought the media, which portray aggression against China "civilization" on the "savage" war Japan packaged as a Savior of peace in East Asia. After the outbreak of war, with support from the Government and military, and Japan sent war correspondents in all major media and coverage of the activities and content are subject to rigorous review and oversight of the high command in the field, media reduced to beautify Japan war machine. During World War II, Japan once again by means of the media power of the Government to mobilize the public to participate in the war, all sorts of lies to deceive the international community.

Different people, gained from these disgraceful history of revelation is not the same. If the media don't know how responsible for history, how can we take on the future of the country, the fate of the people responsible for the task?
