Is Japan abandoning its pacifist constitution as right-wing militarism resurges?

Описание: The fallout between China and Japan shows no signs of improving as Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi refuses to retract her erroneous remarks over the Taiwan question. What actions should Japan take to avoid relations deteriorating further?

In this episode of The Hub, Wang Guan talks with Rong Ying, chair professor at Sichuan University, Charles Liu, founder of Hao Capital, and Benoit Hardy-Chartrand, adjunct professor at Temple University. They discuss the Japanese Prime Minister's long-standing controversial political career, including her refusal to acknowledge historical war crimes and multiple visits to Tokyo's notorious Yasukuni Shrine. They also examine why right-wing militarism is on the rise in Japan and question whether the country still remains committed to its pacifist constitution.
