PoliticsJapanese media warn of Takaichi’s ‘return to prewar era’

Japanese editorials criticize Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s administration for avoiding historical reflection and downplaying wartime responsibility on the 81st anniversary of Japan’s surrender. They also warn that Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi’s Yasukuni visit and policies expanding defense capabilities could weaken pacifist principles, postwar democracy and ties with China and South Korea.
