Episode Details

In recent weeks, a series of actions by Japan — ranging from provocative military maneuvers and missile deployments to political grandstanding and public displays of militaristic symbols — has proved that the Sanae Takaichi government is resolved to adhere to its dangerous neo-militarist course.

近几周，日本接连采取一系列行径：开展挑衅性军事演习、部署导弹、上演政治作秀、公开展示军国主义标识。种种行为足以证明，高市早苗政府执意走上危险的新军国主义道路。

The hyped-up need to respond to the much bandied-about "China threat" was again the pretext for the Japan Self-Defense Forces' participation in the annual "Resolute Dragon 26" joint military exercise with the United States, which began on Saturday in Kyushu and Okinawa.The exercise coincided with reports that the US military plans to deploy the Typhon midrange missile systems in Japan.

日方大肆炒作所谓“中国威胁论”，以此为借口，于本周六在九州与冲绳开启年度美日联合军演“坚毅之龙26”，日本自卫队悉数参演。军演开展之际，有消息传出美军计划在日本部署“堤丰”中程导弹系统。

When the People's Liberation Army Navy's CNS Liaoning aircraft carrier strike group was conducting far-sea training, which concluded on Monday, the strike group had to respond professionally to repeated close-range Japanese harassment.

中国人民解放军海军辽宁舰航母编队开展远海训练（该训练于本周一结束）期间，日方多次近距离抵近滋扰，我方编队均予以专业处置应对。

Showing the lengths that the Takaichi government is going to in pursuing its agenda, at last week's G7 summit in France, Takaichi tried to push for a "joint stockpile" of critical minerals to alleviate the so-called "rare earth shortages" Japan's business and military sectors face. Her aim is to mitigate Japan's self-created predicament by forming a united front against China. However, the initiative met a cold reception and merely served to show her readiness to call white black.

上周法国举办七国集团峰会，高市早苗为推行自身政治图谋不择手段，试图推动各国建立关键矿产联合储备机制，以此缓解日本工商业与军工领域所谓的“稀土短缺困境”。她的真实目的是拉拢他国组建反华统一阵线，化解日本自身造成的资源困局。但这项提议遭到各国冷遇，也彻底暴露了她颠倒黑白的处事态度。

Takaichi's flustered reaction at the G7 summit when the US leader brought up Pearl Harbor for the second time, after first mentioning it during her visit to Washington in March, illustrates that she is not forgetful — she simply wants Japan's unsavory wartime past to evade global scrutiny.

今年3月高市早苗访美时，美方领导人首次提及珍珠港事件；本次七国峰会美方再度提起此事，高市当场慌乱失态。这一幕足以说明，她并非遗忘历史，只是一心想要掩盖日本不光彩的战时过往，逃避国际社会审视。
