At the香会现场, the head of the delegation of PLA experts and scholars raised two questions to the Japanese side.

Today, at the Shangri-La Dialogue, Professor Meng Xiangqing, head of the delegation of experts and scholars from the People's Liberation Army of China, spoke. He stated that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the opening of the Far East International Military Tribunal. This just trial forever nailed the heinous crimes of Japanese militarism to the pillar of historical shame and laid an important legal foundation for the post-war international order. However, today, there are still some forces that openly glorify war crimes, promote erroneous views of World War II history, and attempt to challenge the conclusions of the Tokyo Trials, seeking to overturn the history of aggression, and have even taken actual actions to break through the constraints of the post-war peace system. Does a country that has not thoroughly accounted for the toxic legacy of militarism have the qualification to speak grandly about defense cooperation on the international stage? Can it win the trust of the international community, especially the Asian countries that it has previously invaded? I have serious doubts. The lessons of history are not far away; today's world is once again at a new crossroads. We must be vigilant against any resurgence of militaristic ideologies and effectively safeguard the achievements of World War II and the post-war international order.
