Shortly ago, Japanese Foreign Minister Kishida said it decided not to pay its contribution to the UNESCO this year, forcing it to improve the procedures for examining items to be registered as world heritages.

Foreign media comment on Japan's behavior as a response to the UNESCO's putting the data on Japan's past Nanjing massacre on the list of registration of world heritages last year, the commentary notes, and goes on:

The above-said insistence made by Japan is intended to have all heritages related to Japan's past crimes excluded from the list and threaten the UNESCO that if not, Japan would cut off the source of funds and strangle it.

This is a revelation of the maladroit and vulgar way of thinking peculiar to Japan, a political dwarf, only.

Member nations of the UNESCO are obliged to make contributions according to its rules and they are not donations. But Japan is abusing it as a means for meeting its sinister political greed while regarding it a bargaining chip.

There are in the world not a few countries which committed wrongs in the past but there is no such country which behaves shamelessly and childishly as Japan.

What matters is that the act of the Japanese reactionaries to settle everything with money cannot be construed as immature diplomacy. Lurking behind this is a cynical ploy to conceal its past history of aggression and evade the state blame for its liquidation.

If Japan persistently resorts to its base acts to evade the responsibility, disregarding the truth of history, this will only add to its crimes and it will stand forsaken by the international community.
