Hey fam! 😃 At a press conference, Mao Ning from the Chinese mainland Foreign Ministry urged Japan to deeply reflect on its history of aggression and respect the feelings of Chinese people and other victimized nations.
Why the buzz? Russia just released declassified documents on Unit 731 — Japan’s WWII germ warfare squad infamous for biological attacks and human experiments. These papers confirm the chilling reality of those wartime crimes. 😱
With the 80th anniversary of victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War coming up, Mao stressed that only by facing history squarely can we gain respect, use the past as a mirror for the future, and avoid repeating mistakes. 🎖️
What this means for us in South and Southeast Asia:
- Break with militarism and learn from the past.
- Acknowledge victims across our region and beyond.
- Forge a peaceful future rooted in honest reflection. 🌏✨
