China kündigte am Donnerstag an, dass der frühere japanische Premierminister Yukio Hatoyama am 3. September an Gedenk in Peking teilnehmen wird, um den 80. Jahrestag der Niederlage Japans im zweiten chinesisch-japanischen Krieg, einschließlich einer Militärparade, zu kennzeichnen.
Während des 70. Events im Jahr 2015 wurde der frühere Premierminister Tomiichi Murayama eingeladen, verbrachte jedoch den Tag aufgrund von gesundheitlichen Problemen in seinem Hotel und nahm nicht an den Zeremonien teil.

I think the other attendees are Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Is Hatoyama still in his right mind?
I met Hatoyama on a fishing trip, one of the most sincere Japanese guys on the planet!!
Nicest guy to foreigners. He actually likes foreigners. He gave me tips to fish, and I landed my first massive Red Sea Bream.
I’ve had enough of honoring a hundred year old war, but it’s definitely in his personality to be kind to others.
Picture a kind Japanese man, then multiply that by 3, that is Hatoyama.
During his time as prime minister, Hatoyama leaned toward Asia in his foreign policy, like opposing visits to Yasukuni Shrine and openly acknowledging the Nanjing Massacre and the comfort women issue. However, this shift from an America-centered policy to an Asia-centered policy created certain problems in Japan (I’m not too familiar with that part, hope somebody can teach some details).
Still, what I want to point out is that Hatoyama was different from Japan’s postwar ‘pro-U.S. conservatives.’(親米保守) I’m not sure whether his decision to attend the military parade reflected his personal stance or the government’s intention to maintain some degree of connection with China, especially in light of current U.S. foreign policy and the ongoing, unresolved tariff disputes.
