Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hua Chunying's Remarks on Japan's Erroneous Acts Related to the Yasukuni Shrine

据媒体报道,8月15日,日本首相菅义伟向靖国神社供奉了香火钱。前首相安倍晋三、几个内阁成员和一些国会议员当天或几天前分别参拜了靖国神社。中方对此有何评论?
Q According to media reports, on August 15, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga gave a cash offering to the Yasukuni Shrine. Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, several cabinet members and some lawmakers visited the Yasukuni Shrine on the same day or in recent days. What is China's comment on that?
今天是日本战败并宣布无条件投降76周年纪念日。76年前,中国人民同世界人民一道,打败了日本军国主义侵略者和法西斯主义,取得了正义战胜邪恶、光明战胜黑暗、进步战胜反动的伟大胜利。这一历史性时刻值得国际社会永远铭记!
A Today marks the 76th anniversary of Japan's defeat and unconditional surrender. Seventy-six years ago, the Chinese people, together with the people of the rest of the world, defeated the Japanese militarist aggressors and fascism and won the great victory of justice over evil, light over darkness and progress over reaction. This historic moment deserves to be remembered forever by the international community.
靖国神社是日本军国主义发动对外侵略战争的精神工具和象征,供奉有罪行滔天的14名二战甲级战犯。日本一些政要在靖国神社问题上的所作所为,是对历史正义的亵渎,也是对包括中国在内亚洲受害国人民感情的严重伤害,再次反映出日方对待自身侵略历史的错误态度。中方已通过外交渠道在北京和东京向日方严正交涉,表达强烈不满和坚决反对。中方敦促日方切实信守正视反省侵略历史的表态和承诺,在靖国神社等历史问题上谨言慎行,彻底同军国主义切割,以实际行动取信于亚洲邻国和国际社会。
A The Yasukuni Shrine, where 14 World War II Class-A war criminals with heinous crimes are honored, is a spiritual tool and symbol of the Japanese militarism’s war of aggression. What some Japanese political figures have done on the issue of the Yasukuni Shrine affronts historical justice and seriously hurts the feelings of people in the victimized Asian countries, including China. It again reflects Japan’s wrong attitude towards its own history of aggression. The Chinese side has lodged solemn representations with the Japanese side through diplomatic channels in both Beijing and Tokyo to register strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition. We urge the Japanese side to earnestly honor its statement and commitment of facing up to and reflecting on its history of aggression, tread carefully on historical issues such as the Yasukuni Shrine, make a clean break with militarism, and win the trust of its Asian neighbors and the international community through concrete actions.
