When the Chinese Navy's special mine-sweeping fleet accompanied the United States in its military operations against Iran in the Persian Gulf, a very annoying thing happened in the international community. Japan's Minister of Land and Resources, Okuno Seiryo, was an important minister in Noboru Takeshita's cabinet. He made irresponsible remarks, saying that the Nanjing Massacre did not exist and the Tokyo Trial was invalid, and that the Tokyo Trial should be re-examined based on public opinion.
Although Sino-Japanese relations have generally eased at this time, Prime Minister Noboru Takeshita also approved a huge amount of aid loans this year, which is the so-called "black letter returns." Although China's economic situation is much better than in history, Because the relationship between China and the United States is closer, and the exchanges between Japan and China are closer, there are more aid-based low-interest loans this year than in the other dimension.
??It is a complicated matter to repay the black letter. Many Japanese people angrily criticize the Chinese people for being unkind. Japan has provided important funds for China's development, but China has made trouble for Japan after becoming stronger. Of course, the logic is not that simple. The logics of China and Japan basically cannot come together. For example, the dispute between China and Japan in the East China Sea after 22. China believed that it was caused by Japan¡¯s nationalization of the Diaoyu Islands, but Japan believed that it was caused by the collision of the Diaoyu Islands between China and Japan on 210. Later, Japan had no choice but to strengthen its actual control over the Diaoyu Islands, and the culprit was China.
In Qi Yiming¡¯s view, it cannot be said that Japan has not helped things like Hei Zi Hua Liu and OD, but it must not be viewed in isolation. Japan inflicted huge damage on China during World War II, and did not pay a penny after the war. However, China and Western European countries have different foundations. Any fool can figure out that if there was no Sino-Japanese war, China would not be absolutely in the pre-liberation stage. Poor and useless. Therefore, ODA cannot actually be measured and evaluated solely by intergovernmental loan assistance. Furthermore, the literal meaning of "black character repayment" is that fiscal surpluses are used for loans to other countries. In fact, this kind of creditor's rights behavior is also profitable. After the Plaza Accord, the yen rose sharply, coupled with Japan's lack of large-scale macroeconomic control and government investment desire, this money can do nothing, but if it is used to balance the trade surplus with China (Japanese surplus) , and increasing interest by the way is naturally the best situation.
Japan, which has a strong economy, basically had large fiscal surpluses year after year in the 1980s. Some people may ask why the government is not allowed to invest. Qi Yiming can only hehe. Government investment is obviously the economic theory of the Keynesian school. , is regarded as a scourge in many capitalist countries, and the thinking that Chinese people take for granted is non-mainstream abroad. It is too late for Japan to privatize, so how can it possibly expand government investment? There is a way to increase public welfare investment, but this has no economic returns. Moreover, Japan's welfare construction has already been deployed, so it is unwise to increase investment.
The problem between China and Japan is basically a state of public opinion and mother-in-law theory. At this time, Japan is still on the rise. Although China's military power is a hundred times stronger than the same period, externally China, the United States and Japan seem to be wearing the same pair of pants. Japan is not particularly worried about China. After the Plaza Accord, Japan was in a state of self-admiration and great satisfaction. They no longer looked down upon the U.S. economy, and now they even look down on the fledgling China.
As for right-wingers like Okuno Seiryo, Japan has never been short of them. After the end of World War II, the United States did not completely liquidate Japan in order to contain the Soviet Union and the Red Camp. Not only did the emperor system remain, but war criminals could even continue to be in politics openly, and then the war criminals' children I also inherited these dregs and continued to suffer from mental retardation.
The famous cultural scholar Benedict's famous work "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword" describes the Japanese: both aggressive and kind, both martial and beautiful, both arrogant and elegant, both rigid and adaptable, both obedient and unwilling to be manipulated. Both loyal and treacherous, brave and timid, conservative and receptive to new things.
These complex dualities have resulted in a lack of concepts of right and wrong and justice in Japanese culture. It is often said that Japan emphasizes a culture of shame rather than a culture of guilt. The mistake of World War II was not that it caused great harm to others, but that it did not agree. . It's like a robber who was arrested during a robbery. He didn't regret his mistake, but regretted that he couldn't run fast and his muscles weren't big enough.
With the convergence of various ideological trends, a large number of psychopaths have emerged who deny war crimes and blindly emphasize that the Japanese during the war were loyal to the country. It's not that they really don't have any concept of right and wrong, but they themselves can't put this thing into perspective, so they deny the historical facts very strongly, and play around with the trivial and praise those who sacrificed their lives for the country.
They are unwilling to mention that during the war, some people oppressed other people to starve to death, forced or deceived their own women to go to the front line for comfort, and expelled innocent people to commit suicide after the war on Iwo Jima. There is no need to mention the crimes committed by fascists against other countries. The crimes committed against their own country are enough against humanity, but some people can just ignore all these things.
When the Japanese thought of themselves as a leader and advanced country in East Asia with a sense of superiority, they never thought that after the reversal of the strength of China and Japan, Japan's so-called strength has always been based on a perverted basis. real dayThe rise of China was after World War II with the support of the United States.
Liao Huairen, who no longer works beside Qi Yiming, came here specially this time to take orders from above and discuss a solution with Qi Yiming. In terms of external issues, Qi Yiming's strategic plan is a bit like the shogunate of Japan's Heian period. It has a posture of being aware of major events, but that's about it.
"The above is to teach Japan a moderate lesson: Don't make things stiff, but don't appear too soft either." Liao Huairen was sitting on the sofa drinking tea. After he resigned from Qi Yiming, he also It can be said that he has risen to the top all the way. He stopped doing intelligence work and really developed into the political circle.
Ye Yaozi was also present. She frowned and said, "This is not an easy task. Japan is different from the small countries we have kneaded before. We don't have many things that can check and balance Japan. In terms of trade, except for our country, In addition to exporting agricultural products and a few raw materials, Japan is relatively exclusive in terms of industrial products, so our products marketed in Europe and the United States do not perform well in Japan. I think our country is not their main exporter in terms of energy. Let¡¯s make a fuss about it.¡±
China first decided the South China Sea and then Taiwan. Japan's main waterways, the Malacca Strait and the Taiwan Strait, are all in the hands of China or Nanyang countries under China's instigation. If it is really a state of war, China will seal these two straits and Japan will be the whole nation. It's on the verge of collapse. This is why after Taiwan was occupied, Japan strongly condemned China's actions and even called on the international community to put pressure on China and support Taiwan's autonomy.
Such a move was not even supported by the United States, so the Japanese complained for a month or two but received very few responses, and then stopped talking about the issue in despair. At this time, I don¡¯t know if there are factors stimulating China, and right-wing elements are firing off guns randomly on historical issues.
Qi Yiming shook his head and said: "It's nothing more than increasing boarding inspections on important waterways. It will actually have some impact, but it will do more serious damage to our own image. We are striving to reopen the customs and create a free and open red market. This The higher-ups have thought more and the hidden costs may be even greater.¡±
Liao Huairen also nodded and said: "Yes, it's not time for us to fall out with Japan yet. Although Japan's demand for our products is not strong now, with the changes in Japan's economic environment, labor costs, social welfare and exchange rate effects, Sooner or later, it will become a major export market for us. It is not very smart to offend Japan at this time. Moreover, we still have hundreds of billions of yen in Japan's OD. The country needs to develop, and we cannot refuse this money like this. outside the door.¡±
Qi Yiming glanced at Liao Huairen. This guy was a typical pragmatist. He calculated benefits more than face.
"Actually, to deal with the irresponsible remarks of the right-winger, it is not necessary to use too drastic measures. In terms of diplomatic channels, we held press conferences of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for three consecutive days to condemn the right-winger. Such intensity is already considered It¡¯s amazing. The United States still has a certain clamping effect on Japan, and the left and centrists in Japan are also disgusted with such remarks. Instead of thinking about how to fight back, we should think about how to educate the people, not to forget the national humiliation, and to fight bravely. "
Ye Yaozi agreed: "This is a good idea. There is indeed a lot of carelessness in history education in China, and there are relatively few details. People's understanding and understanding of history are relatively lacking."
"So, on the one hand, we need to strengthen historical education ourselves. Hardware facilities such as the Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall, September 18th Memorial Hall, and Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall must keep up. I can invest some in this aspect. The other is software education. , In our cultural and public opinion position, on the one hand, we must organize more information and make it accessible to the public. On the other hand, school education must be as close to historical facts as possible. It is also necessary to allow students to develop a critical spirit and increase their own insights into history. . Let the children know why we were invaded by Japan, why the Japanese invaded us, how to prevent history from repeating itself, etc. "
Liao Huairen clapped his hands and said: "Moisten things silently. Although this move doesn't look very loud, it is the most earth-shattering, not bad."
Qi Yiming smiled again and said: "Literary and artistic works also need to include more themes like this. Many of our old movies are very classic. We must inherit these traditions and continue to innovate new works of this kind. I think it is worthwhile to invest in a " Movies such as "Nanjing Massacre" are very effective in punishing and promoting publicity."
At this time, because the cultural field was not affected by the turmoil, the GD General Administration naturally did not have as weird and strict censorship system as later generations. This is mainly related to the scarcity of cultural products. A key hotbed for the frequent emergence of anti-Japanese dramas in later generations is official censorship and restrictions. Without these things now, Qi Yiming is not worried about suffering the same kind of torture that challenges the limits of human IQ in later generations. He also supports investing more and thinking more about the cultural industry. Chinese people are not without talent. If they are blocked by rules and regulations and want to cater to vulgar tastes and make money, they will naturally not be able to produce good things.
