With this year marking the 80th anniversary of the start of the Tokyo Trials, international voices are urging Japan to face its history and apologize for its wartime aggression. Yeidckol Polevnsky, chair of the Asia-Pacific Foreign Affairs Committee of the Mexican Senate, stated that Japan still owes China a "long-overdue debt," contrasting its attempts to hide the past with Germany's post-war apologies and reparations. Meanwhile, political commentator Tim Shorrock warned that Japan's denial of this history poses a danger to regional security. #GoodPoint
