Global Times editorial: 95 years on, some in Japan still live in a militarist dream
社评：95年了，日本一些人仍活在军国主义迷梦中
A Global Times editorial marking the 95th anniversary of the September 18 Incident (Mukden Incident) criticizes recent statements by three Japanese right-wing scholars who said they would 'prevent Taiwan from falling into China's hands at all costs.' The editorial frames these remarks as evidence of resurgent Japanese militarism and links them to the new Takaichi cabinet's push for constitutional revision and military expansion, warning that Japan is repeating its historical mistakes.
The view from inside
The editorial is a state-aligned commentary that uses the historical memory of Japan's 1931 invasion of China as a moral lens to condemn contemporary Japanese politics.
