The most controversial textbooks

On March 24, Japan's Ministry of Education approved a new round of textbooks, once again triggering international protests.

After reviewing multiple textbooks from major Japanese publishers, we found that the key parts of Japan's wartime crimes have been quietly revised：
·"September 18 Incident" → "Manchurian Incident"
·"Pacific War" → "Greater East Asia War"
·Unit 731 barely mentioned
·"Comfort women" omitted
·The Nanjing Massacre downplayed
This is not a simple academic debate. It is a decades-long rewriting of history.

Now:
· A Japanese Self-Defense Forces officer broke into the Chinese Embassy with a knife.
· Sanae Takaichi called for revising Article 9 of the Constitution — pushing to turn the Self-Defense Forces into a full-fledged "national military".

This is no coincidence. Rewriting textbooks and reshaping collective memory are not just about the past. They pave the way for constitutional revision and military expansion.
