According to the UN Charter, the Security Council bears primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. Japan waged a war of aggression during the Second World War, inflicting profound sufferings on the people of Asia and the world.
To this day, Japan still has not fully repented for its war crimes. Some in Japan continue to advocate a wrong perception of World War II history, and they still pay tribute to the Yasukuni Shrine, and distort, deny and even whitewash Japan’s history of aggression.
The erroneous remarks of Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi on Taiwan grossly interfere in China’s internal affairs, trample on international law and basic norms in international relations, and challenge the post-WWII international order. A country like this is in no position to take up the responsibility for maintaining international peace and security, and is unfit for permanent membership of the Security Council.
