According to the "Reference News" report, it's time for the examination and approval of Japanese four-year textbooks. Before the textbook approval results were released in early April, the contents of the "New History Textbook" submitted by the Japan New History Textbook Compilation Association were exposed in advance by the Japanese media and once again became the focus of public opinion.
Japanese new history textbooks seriously distort history, and some folk groups call them "fierce books" (the same is true of Japanese pronunciation of the word "textbook"). Looking at the content of this textbook, "Meng" can be described as appropriate. According to this exposure.
The content of the trial version is getting worse and worse, which is full of the view of home and country centered on the emperor, the view of history centered on Asia, superiority over other countries and nationality. At the same time, it concealed the facts of harm, was full of victims' consciousness, advocated the argument that aggression was justified, and used the Great East Asia War to affirm that Japan launched the war in self-defense and praised the dedication of Japanese nationals to actively participate in the war.
After the content of the textbook was exposed, it aroused strong repercussions, and South Korea has set off a wave of criticism. As for why the manuscript was exposed, there is a saying that the editorial board deliberately leaked it, because the disclosure of the textbooks submitted for review is unprecedented, which will trigger a strong reaction from public opinion, but will expand the influence of the editorial board in society, thus achieving the purpose of promoting their own textbooks. Editorial board and some right-wing media accused leftists and non-governmental progressive groups of leaking samples to prevent textbooks from being approved.
Judging from the content of the newly submitted version, history textbooks are more vague and retrogressive in the narrative of aggression history, and they dress themselves up as victims. Textbooks, as always, pay special attention to inciting hatred against China and trace this hatred back to ancient times.
For Japanese right-wing forces to beautify the war of aggression, some Japanese often say that this is the freedom of speech in a democratic society. However, if such textbooks are approved by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, it will clearly show that the Japanese government is in favor of such remarks and will inevitably cause protests from the injured countries.
200 1 Textbook was revised to some extent, but it did not change the essence of beautifying the war of aggression. It remains to be seen how the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology will formulate the examination and approval opinions and what the officially listed version will look like.
Interpretation of teaching material content
The Japanese new history textbook submitted in advance is even more ambiguous and retrogressive in the narrative of the history of aggression. Our reporter interviewed Mr. Rong Weimu, the executive editor of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression Studies (Beijing) and an expert in the history of the Anti-Japanese War. The following is the description of historical events in the Japanese history textbook 200 1 edition (referred to as "200 1 edition") and the new Japanese history textbook (referred to as "submitted edition") in 2005, as well as Mr. Rong Weimu's explanation of relevant historical facts.
Cover up the plot to destroy China and completely shirk the responsibility for war.
