日本政要战败投降日“拜鬼”，中方提出严正交涉、强烈抗议！

外交部官网8月15日消息，外交部发言人就日本政要参拜供奉甲级战犯的靖国神社答记者问。

问：8月15日是日本战败投降日。今天日本首相高市早苗向靖国神社供奉祭祀费，还有个别内阁成员参拜靖国神社。中方对此有何评论？

August 15 marks the day of Japan’s unconditional surrender in the Second World War. Prime Minister of Japan Sanae Takaichi made a monetary offering to the Yasukuni war shrine today, and certain cabinet members also visited the shrine. What’s your comment?

答：中方强烈谴责日方涉靖国神社消极动向，已向日方提出严正交涉、强烈抗议。

China strongly deplores Japan's negative moves related to the Yasukuni war shrine, and has lodged serious protests against Japan.

日本二战时期发动对外侵略战争，犯下惨无人道罪行。所谓“靖国神社”是日本军国主义的精神工具和象征，其供奉的14名甲级战犯是发动侵略战争的罪魁祸首，是事实上的“战犯神社”。无论日本政客编造何种理由，都无法隐藏其为战犯翻案、掩盖战争罪责、歪曲历史事实，为加速“再军事化”铺路的真实企图。有关错误行径是对历史正义的亵渎，对文明底线的挑战，对战后国际秩序的挑衅，国际社会一致坚决反对。

During WWII, Japan launched the war of aggression and committed horrendous crimes. The Yasukuni war shrine is a spiritual tool and symbol of Japanese militarism. It is in fact a shrine for war criminals, as it honors 14 convicted Class-A war criminals responsible for the war of aggression. No pretext whatsoever can hide the Japanese politicians' true intention which is to change the verdict on the war criminals, cover up Japan's war crimes, distort the historical facts, and pave the way for accelerating remilitarization. This is an affront to historical justice, a challenge to the foundational norms of civilization, and a provocation against the postwar international order. Such behaviors have been firmly rejected by the overwhelming majority of the international community.

今年是东京审判开庭80周年。正确认识和对待历史，是日本战后重返国际社会的重要前提，是日本同周边国家发展关系的政治基础，更是检验日本能否恪守和平发展承诺的重要标准。我们敦促日方深刻反省侵略历史，同军国主义彻底切割，以实际行动取信于亚洲邻国和国际社会。

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the opening of the Tokyo Trials. To view and treat history correctly is an important prerequisite for Japan's postwar return to the international community, the political foundation for Japan's ties with neighboring countries, and more importantly, a key measure for Japan's commitment to peaceful development. We urge the Japanese side to do serious soul-searching on its history of aggression, make a clean break with militarism, and earn trust from its Asian neighbors and the rest of the world with concrete actions.
