Notorious Yasukuni Shrine visits draw opposition from China and SK, serve as ‘mirror’ laying bare Japan’s resurgence of neo-militarism_我的网站
一 | 4月24日，有市场传言称，“五一”之后深圳将取消福田、南山之外区域的限购政策，同时取消5年的增值税，满三年即可免。对此，深圳市不动产登记中心工作人员回应称，目前没有收到相关政策通知。
Against the backdrop of strong opposition from China and South Korea, another senior official from Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) visited the notorious Yasukuni Shrine on Sunday, following a string of visits by senior party figures the previous day on the 81st anniversary of Japan's unconditional surrender in World War II.
Their handling of the Yasukuni Shrine issue, Chinese observers said, served as a revealing "mirror," laying bare the growing influence of far-right ideology in Japanese society and its gradual emergence into the mainstream to piece together the picture of neo-militarism, while broader political and security moves under the current government point to a gradual erosion of Japan's postwar pacifist constraints and a drift toward neo-militarism.
Rampant far-right sentiment
According to Japanese media outlet The Mainichi, Takayuki Kobayashi, a senior executive of Japan's ruling LDP, visited the war-linked Yasukuni shrine on Sunday.
One day before his visit, a total of four Cabinet ministers visited the shrine, along with three top ruling party executives - Secretary General Shunichi Suzuki, General Council Chair Haruko Arimura and election strategy chief Yasutoshi Nishimura, per the report.
Although Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi did not visit the shrine, she made a "tamagushi" ritual offering to the war-linked shrine in her capacity as president of the LDP. Takaichi also performed a remote act of worship toward the notorious Yasukuni Shrine, a symbol of the country's militarism and wartime aggression, from nearby instead of visiting in person, according to the Xinhua News Agency.
The shrine, located in central Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward, honors 14 convicted Class-A Japanese war criminals from World War II. For a long time, visits and ritual offerings made by Japanese officials to the controversial shrine have consistently sparked criticism and opposition both at home and abroad.
The visits drew immediate and firm opposition from China and South Korea on Saturday. China's Foreign Ministry, Ministry of National Defense and the Chinese Embassy have all voiced their objections.
"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," a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said in a statement on Saturday.
South Korea also denounced visits by Japanese officials and politicians, urging Japan's leaders to squarely face history and show remorse in order to develop bilateral relations based on mutual trust, South Korean media Yonhap News Agency reported on Saturday.
Kim Hak-jo, director general for international policy at South Korea's defense ministry, summoned Takeshi Nagayoshi, Japan's defense attache in Seoul, to the ministry headquarters and lodged a strong protest over Japanese Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi's visit to the shrine, the ministry said, per Yonhap.
Despite the criticism, Kobayashi said he visited the shrine as a "family member," noting that his grandfather had died in the war, according to the Mainichi.
Lü Chao, a professor at the Liaoning Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times on Sunday that Takaichi's move signaled "tolerance" of such visits. Even without visiting the shrine in person, Takaichi performed a ritualized act of worship toward it from nearby, which Lü said exposed her deeply entrenched position.
The episode also serves as a "mirror," laying bare the political attitudes of Japanese politicians and their views on war and history, Lü said. Looking at the visits by successive Japanese cabinets in past years, former prime minister Shigeru Ishiba at least expressed remorse over the war, whereas the current government has become more hardline. This shows that far-right sentiment in Japan is becoming increasingly widespread and is gradually moving into the mainstream, he continued.
"Japan is piecing together the picture of neo-militarism. The international community should remain alert to the risk of Japanese militarism's resurgence," the expert added.
Also on Saturday, Takaichi attended her first war memorial ceremony since taking office last year. In her speech, Takaichi pledged peace but she fell short of using the words employed at last year's memorial by her predecessor Ishiba, who vowed to keep in mind Japan's "remorse" over the war and expressed its "resolute pledge to renounce war," Japanese media Kyodo News reported.
Before the late Shinzo Abe, Takaichi's "political mentor," took office as prime minister for the second time in December 2012, Japanese leaders had consistently mentioned the nation's aggression and expressed remorse at the ceremony, per Kyodo News.
Takaichi's remarks seek to balance Japan's established national position with her own political interests and those of her party, Lian Degui, director of the Center for Japanese Studies at Shanghai International Studies University, told the Global Times on Sunday.
As a representative of the right wing in Japan, Takaichi herself does not advocate deeper reflection on Japan's wartime past, but she also faces constraints from opposing political forces at home. Her deliberate avoidance of terms such as "remorse" therefore reflects her personal political stance, while also serving as a compromise between competing forces on Japan's political spectrum, Lian added.
Takaichi has adopted similarly ambiguous language on other sensitive security issues. At memorial ceremonies in Hiroshima and Nagasaki earlier this month, Takaichi said Japan currently maintains its Three Non-Nuclear Principles but stopped short of explicitly committing her government to keeping all three principles in the future.
Lian added that offering ambiguous remarks could also be seen as a move designed to leave room for policy debates over possible revisions to national security documents and related principles by year end. "As long as right-wing forces remain in power, Japan will continue drifting toward neo-militarism through a gradual and sustained erosion of the constraints imposed by its pacifist Constitution," Lian said.
Underlying strategic anxiety
In Takaichi's speech on Saturday, she also claimed that her country could become "a shining beacon in the 'Indo-Pacific' that others could rely on." The Japan Times reported on Saturday that her inclusion of the term "Indo-Pacific" likewise brought her foreign-policy agenda into the memorial message.
In an effort to curry favor with Washington, Japan has sought to portray itself as a leading force in containing China's rise. Yet such ambitions clearly overstate Japan's own capabilities and amount to little more than strategic overreach, as the gap between Japan and China in terms of overall national strength remains substantial, the expert said.
Takaichi's decision to invoke its so-called "Indo-Pacific strategy" on a sensitive historical anniversary only further exposes her administration's strategic anxiety and uncertainty in the face of China's rise, Lian added.

三 | 据中指研究院数据，2024年3月份，深圳新房住宅成交2245套/22.98万平方米，成交面积环比上涨167.21%；二手住宅共成交3855套/36.48万平方米，成交面积环比上涨110.75%。受楼市政策叠加房贷利率下调等利好带动，购房需求逐步释放，3月，深圳楼市有所修复。 截至目前，“北上广深”四大一线城市均已在住宅限购端有所放松。中指研究院预计，从政策层面来看，中央和监管部门已经明确要进一步优化房地产政策，各地供需两端政策均存在较强优化预期，预计一线城市或继续优化限购政策，二线城市有望全面取消限制性政策，核心城市降低首付比例、降低房贷利率、降低交易税费等政策依然具备空间。 在广东省城规院住房政策研究中心首席研究员李宇嘉看来，热点城市继续在需求端纾困，包括松绑限购、降低按揭利率。一是加快新房和二手房循环，满足新市民刚需上车和改善型住房需求实现，止住房价下跌预期；二是加大配售型保障性住房的开工和建设力度，挖掘新市民、年轻人、工薪群体和人才的潜力购房需求；三是国企央企和城投将发挥带头作用，加快推进城中村改造，相关专项借款、专项债等增加向三大工程的投入力度，稳定开发投资；四是加快对企业风险的防范力度，对于部分稳健型企业出险，可能会有托底的资金进场。 （中国小康网综合南方都市报、证券时报）。
