China gravely concerned over right-wing forces' use of AI to distort Japan's history of aggression

China is gravely concerned over the large-scale use of artificial intelligence (AI) reportedly by Japan's right-wing forces to distort the history of aggression against China, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said on Wednesday.

Spokesperson Mao Ning made the remarks at a daily press briefing, adding that the relevant attempts constitute a blatant provocation to international fairness and justice and the postwar international order, and the international community must stay on high alert and firmly reject this.

Mao noted that after WWII, instead of doing serious soul-searching on its history of aggression against China, Japan's right-wing forces have resorted to every means to distort the facts and whitewash Japan's historical crimes.

Today, the right-wing forces even use the new technology to poison the public opinion for accelerating their remilitarization agenda. Such moves are even more egregious and pose even greater risks, said Mao.

Noting this year marks the 80th anniversary of the opening of the Tokyo Trials, Mao said the truth of history shall not be denied, and the verdict of history shall not be challenged. 

There is solid evidence of Japan's crimes during its war of aggression against China, she said, adding that a growing body of new evidence has further brought to light the crimes of Japanese militarism.

China will stand with all peace-loving people around the world to defend historical truth and justice, Mao added.
