Japan, like Germany, is a country of perpetrators. Therefore, it doesn’t want to build a History / War Museum. There are conservative circles in Japan that have, using mafia-like means, prevented this from happening.

World War II ended on May 8, 1945. The Japanese, however, continued to fight for the TENNO 天皇 (Japanischer Kaiser) until September 2, 1945. Japan did not surrender because of the A-bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but because the Soviet Union abandoned the Japan-Soviet Neutrality Pact and invaded Japan on August 8, 1945.
Japan remains full of US military bases. REAL POLITIK proves that Japan is not a sovereign state, but a vassal state of the US.

On May 8, 2025, Chinese President Xi attended the celebrations of the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II in Moscow, see photo above. No European, Japanese or American Representatives.
During his talks with Xi, Putin announced his return visit to Beijing at the end of August and the beginning of September to celebrate with China the victory over the Japanese aggressors in Asia 80 years ago, also with a military parade. “We are developing our strategic relations for the benefit of the people of both countries,” Putin declared in the Kremlin on Thursday, “but not against third parties,” he added.
Furthermore, Xi wants to secure Russia’s unconditional support, including military support, in the event of an escalating and potentially armed conflict with Taiwan. The island is considered a breakaway province by Beijing and recognized as part of Chinese territory by nearly 200 states, including Germany and the United States.
Taiwan, with a population of 23 million, is now governed by President William Lai, who described himself before his election as a “politician committed to Taiwan’s independence.” This would cross China’s red line. The Chinese anti-separation law would then legitimize military intervention. However, Taiwan is under the protection of the United States, ergo, like Japan, a vassal state of the US. In 1979, the United States passed the Taiwan Relations Act, which would oblige the US government to provide military assistance if Taiwan were attacked.
This means, Japan would “eventually” participate in the war against China.

Yesterday, on the 9th of May 2025, Taiwan vehemently protested, denounced Russia and China for distorting World War II history, saying Chinese communist forces made “no substantial contribution” to fighting Japan and instead took the opportunity to expand their own forces.
Taiwan has this year sought to cast the war as a lesson to China in why aggression will end in failure, reminding the world it was not the government in Beijing that won the war.
The Chinese government at the time was the Republic of China, part of the US, British and Russian-led alliance, and its forces did much of the fighting against Japan, putting on pause a bitter civil war with Mao Zedong’s Communists whose military also fought the Japanese.
The republican government then fled to Taiwan in 1949 after finally being defeated by Mao, and Republic of China remains the democratic island’s official name.
Responding to comments by Russian President Vladimir Putin to Chinese President Xi Jinping that the war was won under the leadership of China’s communist party, Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council said it was the Republic of China government and people who fought and ultimately won.
“The Chinese communists only took the opportunity to expand and consolidate communist forces, and made no substantial contribution to the war of resistance, let alone ‘leading’ the war of resistance,” it said.
On the 8th of May 2025, in a joint statement with China, Russia reaffirmed that Taiwan was an “inseparable part of the People’s Republic of China” – a position the government in Taipei strongly disputes.
The government in Beijing says that as it is the successor state to the Republic of China it has a legal right to claim Taiwan under the text of the 1943 Cairo Declaration and 1945 Potsdam Declaration, the island at the time being a Japanese colony.
Taiwan’s foreign ministry said those documents confirmed that it was the Republic of China which had sovereignty over Taiwan. “At the time, the People’s Republic of China did not exist at all,” it said. “Any false statements intended to distort Taiwan’s sovereign status cannot change history, nor can they shake the objective facts recognised by the international community.”
China labels Taiwan President Lai Ching-te a “separatist”. He rejects Beijing’s sovereignty claims, saying only Taiwan’s people can decide their future.
