據韓國《朝鮮日報》5月1日報道，日本首相安倍晉三日前表示，日本不會(就東亞歷史問題)效仿二戰後德國向鄰國道歉以尋求和解。

4月29日，安倍出訪德國之前接受德國《法蘭克福匯報》的采訪，以“二戰後的歐洲和亞洲面對的歷史情況完全不同”為由，拒絕效仿德國向鄰國道歉。該報報道說：“中國和韓國不斷要求日本在歷史認識方面向德國學習。但日本首相卻拒絕了這項要求。”

安倍說：“二戰後歐洲的最大課題是大團結。這一過程中，德國的道歉促進了和平與和解。”也就是說，因為歐洲存在大團結氛圍，所以德國才表現出道歉與和解的態度。不過，安倍認為歐洲為實現一體化所做出的共同努力在亞洲並沒有出現。

安倍晉三同時表示，日本已經和鄰國就賠償措施達成一致。

另據日本新聞網報道，安倍4月30日在德國與默克爾總理舉行會談時，遇到50多名旅德日本人和德國民眾的聯合抗議。抗議人群在總理府前集會，舉著“抗議安倍首相”、“反對重開核電站”、“再見，核電站”等標語，持續抗議長達2個小時。

Abe's wrong path

Japan ought to follow Germany’s post-war track

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s perception of history revealed during his recent interview with a German newspaper is hardly surprising, given his well-known revisionist inclination. Nevertheless, it’s still disheartening.

He told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung that his country won’t be able to follow in Germany’s footsteps in dealing with its wartime past, noting that the circumstances of the two countries were vastly different. ''In Europe, there was a pan-European quest for the great goal of European integration in addition to Germany’s own commitment. So the creation of a community and also reconciliation were promoted,’’ the conservative leader was quoted as saying.

But Abe said Japan has gone a different route by signing treaties with former colonies and supporting the poorer Asian countries with development aid and programs.

Abe’s remarks were taken as clarifying that Japan won’t follow what the European country did in the aftermath of World War II. To be sure, the island country is taking a wrong path under Abe’s misguided leadership, and everyone knows that Abe’s regressive attitude and actions are causing Seoul and Tokyo to go head to head continuously over historical issues, including that of former sex slaves.

In response, Seoul’s Foreign Ministry said Japan should strive to deliver its sincere contrition to neighbors that suffered from its atrocities, and expressed hope that Japan will faithfully engage in high-level talks (with South Korea) on the so-called comfort women issue.

To be frank, however, it’s doubtful upcoming bilateral talks will produce any tangible results in light of Abe’s offensive and flawed perception of history. It’s certain that the Japanese premier is turning a blind eye to the obvious fact that Japan’s conflicts about the past history with its neighbors, including Korea and China, is directly linked to the restoration of bruised universal values and the healing of bitter scars.

It’s regrettable for Japan not to emulate Germany’s post-war precedent to atone for its wartime atrocities that has already drawn international acclaim. Since World War II, Germany has offered genuine apologies and full compensation to neighboring countries while publishing joint textbooks. In August, German Chancellor Angela Merkel visited the former Nazi concentration camp in Dachau, where more than 40,000 people died, as if setting an example on how to reflect on past misdeeds.

Most importantly, the reasons cited by the Japanese leader for not following the German example make no sense.

To begin with, Abe should know that Germany took the lead in European integration through its preemptive soul-searching and compensation, contrary to his remarks that moves to integrate Europe drew German apologies.

At the same time, there have been numerous chances for Seoul, Beijing and Tokyo to reconcile since the 1990s, but on all such occasions, Japan squandered the opportunities by distorting textbooks and unleashing territorial and historical provocations.

In the interview, Abe said the door to dialogue remains open, noting that the talks should begin without preconditions. But it’s unlikely we can expect the normalization of relations with the Abe administration as long as the Japanese premier refuses to follow Germany’s post-war track. Eventually, it’s up to Abe if East Asia can open a new chapter through genuine reconciliation.

您好，
想呼應一下陳醫生對於日本的新聞，昨天剛看到。 子曰 ”知恥近乎勇“，日本是不知羞恥還是不覺有誤？而塗炭眾多大陸上，臺灣上的華人，東南亞民眾都沒有錯。到此，情緒多少有點激動。更巧的是，就在十幾個小時後，這個新聞出現了：http://www.chinatimes.com/newspapers/20140502000822-260109 （西來庵事件的遺骸三月出土了)。 文中林先生說 ”大概重見天日的時刻到了吧“。這讓我也有種不寒而栗的感覺。 或許在眾多的巧合，而某些事情的發生並非偶然，還是我太迷信了嗎？
