A hypocritical political mask cannot whitewash the historical crimes; a seemingly moderate smile cannot mask the old militarist ghost trying to come back to life. Seen through the "lens" of history and justice, the true colors of Japan's right-wing politicians are laid bare. Their accelerated push for "remilitarization" is by no means "national normalization," but rather a blatant turning back of the wheel of history. It is a dangerous road of no return that undermines peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific. #TiantanView #NeoMilitarism #EditorialCartoon
