"我们必须注意到石破茂'个人见解'中的局限性。"黑龙江省社会科学院东北亚研究所研究员笪志刚对《环球时报》记者表示，其讲话提出值得重 新思考的方向，具有一定积极意义，但回避了日本的加害责任和侵略本质，这无疑是一个遗憾。从他此前在联大演讲的内容也可以看出，同样回 避了"侵略""道歉"等关键表述，未直面日本在战争中的加害者责任，因此很难期望其会就日本的侵略历史向受害国人民作出诚恳道歉。 中国国际问题研究院亚太所特聘研究员项昊宇10日对《环球时报》记者表示，石破茂以"个人见解"的形式深入全面阐释日本为何会走向战争以及 政治权力未能阻止战争的内在机制，这在战后日本首相中是首次，也是他坚持发表这次感想的理由所在。在当前政治生态中，石破茂作出这番谈 话需要政治勇气，应予以肯定。 据《产经新闻》报道，尽管石破茂以"个人见解"的形式发布内容，但自民党内对其表态的反对声浪强烈。自民党总裁高市早苗明确表示反对 称，"战后70年谈话已是最佳版本，无需新的表态。"《产经新闻》评论认为，这一立场凸显出自民党内部在"保守回归"的趋势下，对历史认知议 题的路线分歧。 对此，项昊宇分析称，自民党内围绕石破茂"个人见解"的尖锐分歧，深刻反映了自 ...

作为记者和研究者，川村范行对侵华史有深入了解。1996年他在担任《东京新闻》上海分社社长时，曾 与家人参观侵华日军南京大屠杀遇难同胞纪念馆，被残酷史实震撼；1998年又赴哈尔滨参观侵华日军第 七三一部队旧址，亲眼看到人体实验的实物证据，受到极大冲击。他坦言："通过这些经历，我直接了 解到日军侵略行为的真实情况。" "这导致日本人的战争记忆首先停留在广岛、长崎的原子弹轰炸，其次是美军对东京等地的大规模空 袭。因此，绝大多数日本人有'战争受害者'的意识，却缺乏'战争加害者'的认知。"川村范行说。他还强 调，近年来部分日本政客和知识分子否认侵略战争本质，这种"历史修正主义"在日本社会扩散令人担 忧。 【环球时报报道 记者 邢晓婧】中日两国为何在历史认知上存在显著差异？名古屋外国语大学名誉教 授、日中关系学会副会长川村范行近日在接受《环球时报》记者采访时表示，这种"认知鸿沟"的根源可 追溯到战时的新闻封锁与战后的教育导向。 川村范行表示，当年战场远在海外，新闻报道受到日军严格管制，日本国民几乎不了解真实的战争情 况，包括南京大屠杀等日军侵略行为。与此同时，日本战后教育虽然提及侵华战争，但没有让学生深入 了解悲惨实况。 ...
