Takaichi's toxic Taiwan rhetoric rooted in pursuit of historical revisionism, reviving militarism

Beijing, Nov 18 (UNI) Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's brazen remarks on Taiwan aren't just irresponsible saber-rattling; They sound a stark warning that Japan's militarist demons are being summoned anew.
Her blatant suggestion of possible military involvement in the Taiwan Strait is not an isolated outburst, but the latest symptom of a political project aimed at dragging Japan back toward a dangerous trajectory.
Takaichi's political ascent has been nurtured in the poisonous soil of historical revisionism. From questioning the Murayama Statement, which is regarded as the pinnacle of Japan's apology for its wrongdoing before and during World War II, to denying the Nanjing Massacre and glorifying militarist symbols, she has aligned herself with factions that refuse to reckon with Japan's past aggression.
