美方粉饰日本侵略战争罪行严重亵渎历史正义

The US Side Whitewashing Japan’s Aggression and War Crimes is a Grave Affront to Historical Justice

8月15日下午，国防部新闻局副局长、国防部新闻发言人蒋斌大校就近期涉军问题发布消息。

记者：近日，美国国务院新闻发言人称，八十年前美国和日本结束了太平洋地区一场毁灭性的战争，八十年来美国和日本一直肩并肩捍卫太平洋地区的和平与繁荣。美国驻华大使馆转发了相关言论。请问发言人有何评论？

Question: The spokesperson of the US State Department recently said that 80 years ago, the US and Japan concluded a devastating war in the Pacific. For 80 years, the US and Japan have stood shoulder to shoulder to safeguard peace and prosperity in the Pacific. These comments were also posted by the US Embassy in China. May I have your comments?

蒋斌：二战期间，日本法西斯犯下罄竹难书的罪行，给包括美国在内的世界各国人民带来深重灾难。美方似乎对这段历史得了“健忘症”，粉饰美化日本侵略战争罪行，这是对历史正义的严重亵渎，更是对受害国人民感情的严重伤害。今年是中国人民抗日战争暨世界反法西斯战争胜利80周年。我们敦促美方放弃地缘政治算计，秉持正确二战史观，与国际社会一道捍卫战后国际秩序，为人类争取更加和平的未来。

Jiang Bin: During WWII, Japanese fascists committed heinous crimes and inflicted untold sufferings on peoples around the world, including the Americans. The US side seems to have “amnesia” about this history. Whitewashing Japan’s aggression and war crimes is a grave affront to historical justice, and hurts the peoples of countries once suffered from Japanese invasion. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. We urge the US side to abandon geopolitical calculations, uphold a correct historical view of WWII, and join the international community in safeguarding the post-WWII international order, so as to strive for a more peaceful future for humanity.
