What’s disturbing is that the United States has been swinging between controlling and indulging Japan.

Western criticism of Japan’s failure to report its 640 kg plutonium incident is extremely downplayed. Japan is definitely a major suspect that has not been properly cross-examined. Nuclear under-reporting did not bring an actual loss to Japan, so apparently, Tokyo did it again. Think about it — if this so-called under-reporting took place in China, or if China uncovered Japan’s nuclear leak of three years ago, Western media would be ramming its head with us.

It is bad enough if this is only an ideological game, but Japan's nuclear under-reporting affects the core of the Asia Pacific’s nuclear safety. It is important to know that Japan is a highly industrialized country; it has enough resources to produce 5,000 nuclear missiles and the world's most advanced large-scale computer systems with the ability to simulate nuclear tests, all guaranteeing that it can in a very short time become the world's third nuclear power, second only to the United States and Russia. These facts constitute the biggest loophole in the global nonproliferation management.

Japan is the only country to have suffered nuclear attack — by the United States, now its ally and protector. Japan’s commemorations of the atomic bomb victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have run through half a century of reflection on World War II. Its desire for and awareness of the importance of the atomic bomb are carved in its bones and etched in its heart deeper than any other nuclear threshold country.

Japan’s right-wing desire for revenge has been suppressed in this half-century, but has not at all disappeared. It lurks in Japanese society’s sadness with its country being treated as a defeated nation up to now, and also in its hatred of China’s unimaginable rise. Ordinarily, the Japanese hate China for no reason; it was Japan that invaded China, but in the end, the one who dropped atomic bombs and based its soldiers on it was the United States. Japan is afraid to hate the United States, so it vents its anger and despair of still not having become a “normal country” on China.
