- Has never felt empathy for the victims of 🇯🇵 barbarism.
- Never acknowledged the crimes of Unit 731.
- Declared that comfort women were necessary.
- Honored 🇯🇵 war criminals including his grandfather at the Yasukuni shrine.

The fact is that Japanese people so far despise China, yet they have huge interests in China.
The Japanese like Taiwan because of a former colonial obsession, and because Taiwan is the most pro-Japanese place in the world.
The world is bound to change with the death of Abe.

He denied that Japan forced women into sexual slavery during World War II.
He denied that Class-A war criminals are criminals under Japan's domestic law.
That would be a reference to his maternal grandfather, Nabusuke Kishi.
He denied that Class-A war criminals are criminals under Japan's domestic law.
That would be a reference to his maternal grandfather, Nabusuke Kishi.
Known for his exploitative rule of the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo in Northeast China in the 1930s, Kishi was nicknamed the "Monster of the Shōwa era" (昭和の妖怪; Shōwa no yōkai).
Kishi later served in the wartime cabinet of Prime Minister Hideki Tōjō as Minister of Commerce and Vice Minister of Munitions, and co-signed the declaration of war against the United States on December 7, 1941.
After World War II, Kishi was imprisoned for three years as a suspected Class A war criminal. However, the US government did not charge, try, or convict him, and eventually released him as they considered Kishi to be the best man to lead a post-war Japan in a pro-US direction.
With US support, he went on to consolidate the Japanese conservative camp against perceived threats from the Japan Socialist Party in the 1950s.
Kishi was instrumental in the formation of the powerful Liberal Democratic Party (LDP).

In fact, Shinzo Abe denied that Manchukuo was Japan's puppet state in China's Manchuria. He said there is a problem defining "aggressive war" (which means he has a problem with the UN Charter and disagrees with international law).
He visited the Yasukuni Shrine on several occasions.
His first visit to the shrine as prime minister took place on 26 December 2013, the first anniversary of his second term in office.

It was the first visit to the shrine by a sitting prime minister since Junichiro Koizumi visited in August 2006.
Abe said that he "prayed to pay respect for the war dead who sacrificed their precious lives and hoped that they rest in peace".
Abe said that he "prayed to pay respect for the war dead who sacrificed their precious lives and hoped that they rest in peace".
The Communist Party of China published a protest that day, calling government visits to the shrine "an effort to glorify the Japanese militaristic history of external invasion and colonial rule and to challenge the outcome of World War II".
Qin Gang of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Abe is "unwelcome by Chinese people… Chinese leaders won't meet him any more".
Taiwan's politicians, both blue and green, are devastated.
Tsai Ing-wen has even ordered that flags across the island be flown at half-mast in "remembrance of Abe's remarkable contribution to Taiwan."
Tsai Ing-wen has even ordered that flags across the island be flown at half-mast in "remembrance of Abe's remarkable contribution to Taiwan."
What exactly is Abe's contribution to Taiwan?
Is the Democratic Progressive Party treating Taiwan like a Japanese colony by lowering flags to half-mast for a Japanese man determined to restore Japanese militarism?
After coming to power, Tsai Ing-wen secretly sent a copy of Yan Zhenqing's nephew's manuscript, a treasure of the national palace, to the Tokyo Museum for display.
Rumor has it that the mother of then Japanese Prime Minister Abe appreciated Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy.
Japan had control over the Diaoyu Islands and drove out Taiwanese fishermen.
Therefore, instead of saying that Abe contributed to Taiwan, we should say that Abe contributed to the revival of Japanese militarism, Taiwan's independence, and the US-Japan alliance against China.
As for saying that Abe is a patriot, it would be better to say that Abe believes that only Japanese militarism is patriotic.
This is a very realistic description of Japan's national survival strategy and its national vision of Japan's development since the Meiji Restoration.
It is a vision that has formed the basis of Japan's national consciousness and has not changed since then. It is also in line with historical development.
Some media and netizens outside China have been raging against Chinese netizens, accusing them of "gloating" and "reveling in it." This makes it sound like the Chinese killed Shinzo Abe.
We really have no sympathy for an aggressor, a right-winger who shouts that "if something happens to Taiwan", it means "something happens to Japan", and a right-winger who promotes NATO in Asia.
In the early morning of June 30, 2022, 雷金二, a victim of the "comfort women" system of the invading Japanese army, passed away in Hunan at the age of 98.

Shinzo Abe has repeatedly paid tribute to the war criminals who caused so much suffering to the Chinese, his maternal grandfather being a Class A war criminal.
The Japanese also celebrated. After all, how many people has Shinzo Abe offended and touched during his 10 years in power.
Don't put it all on the Chinese. The Japanese want him dead more than the Chinese, otherwise why eliminate him?
National enmity should not be forgotten, especially when Japan continues to pay homage to the Class A war criminals of WWII and relentlessly tries to return to the old ways of militarism, it is a warning to the world.
I'm not grateful, because I'm human!
I have no sympathy because I have not forgotten the history.
