CGTN spoke with Zhang Lanzhen, president of the Global Alliance for Preserving the History of WWII in Asia, about the crucial need to preserve historical truth and secure global acknowledgment of Japan's wartime atrocities. Zhang emphasized that accurate history is essential for justice and that preserving the truth about WWII helps prevent such tragedies from recurring. She also stated that Sanae Takaichi's persistent denial of Japan's wartime atrocities hinders international reconciliation and creates space for historical revisionism.
