Abe still playing his games over history

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's refusal to recognize part of the Potsdam Proclamation not only marks his latest attempt to gloss over Japan's history of aggression, it also poses a challenge to the post-World War II international order.

On Wednesday, when asked to comment on the Potsdam Proclamation which clearly says the war Japan waged falls into the category of aggression that aimed at occupying the world, Abe claimed he did not know this part of the proclamation and so refused to comment on it.

The Japanese leader even went further to say that accepting the proclamation was a way that Japan ended the war.
