The victims of the Japanese "comfort women" system were a group that not only suffered but also kept "silent." They went through a lot during the World War II--the aggressive war launched by Japan.A small number of survivors had a really tough time because of their being hidden and forgotten for a long time after the war.In August 1991,Kim haksun,the victim of South Korea's “comfort women” system,first stood up to testify Japanese “comfort women” call-up during the World War II,and then this kind of group began to get attention.After that,this bloody history gradually became known to the world.In 2012,after Shinzo Abe was re-elected as the Japanese Prime Minister,he continued to push the Japanese Congress to amend "The Constitution of Japan".With the collective turn of Japan's politics and society,in order to cater for Abe's relevant policies and strategies,the Japanese right-wing forces started to play the role of "vanguard and bellwether" without hesitation.In 2014,the right-wing media forces headed by "The Sankei Shimbun" began to publish a series of fallacies on the issue of“comfort women”.In 2016,the Knowledgeable representative of the Japanese right-wing forces established the “Chinese Comfort Women Research Association” to attack the “comfort women” research in Chinese academic circles.The series of offensive remarks made by the Japanese right-wing forces against China's "comfort women" issue are important carriers reflecting the Japanese right-wing forces' ideological theories and goals,as well as important materials for studying the development and changes of the Japanese right-wing forces.At the same time,through the repercussions of various public opinion published by the Japanese right-wing forces in Japan,we can see the attitudes and views of Japanese society,Japanese nationals and even Japan as a result of Japan's actions during World War II.The series of offensive remarks made by the Japanese right-wing forces against China's "comfort women" issue are important carriers reflecting the Japanese right-wing forces' ideological theories and goals,as well as important materials for studying the development and changes of the Japanese right-wing forces.At the same time,we could see the attitudes and views of society,public and even nations about Japan's actions during World War II through the repercussions of various fallacies published by the Japanese right-wing forces in Japan.This article systematically processes and summarizes a series of details andopinions on the issue of attacking Chinese "comfort women" published by the Japanese right-wing forces.On this basis,according to the archival historical data,oral testimony of survivors of Japanese "comfort women" and academic investigation and research works found in the research on "comfort women" over the past 30 years,fallacies are classified,analyzed and elaborated on the absurdity of Japanese right-wing forces' attack on China's "comfort women".It is believed that the Japanese right-wing forces' attack on China's research on "comfort women" is a microcosm of their efforts to discredit and subvert the historical issues left over from the World War II.In Japan,the correct understanding and dissemination of the issue of "comfort women" is conducive to promoting Japanese society and nations to realize and reflect on war issues which are very necessary and important.However,the pervasive Japanese right-wing forces have intensified their penetration into all levels of Japanese society.They attempted to obliterate the memories of the contemporary Japanese youth generation about war by tampering with the despicable means of history.Besides,the "difficult division" of the Japanese right-wing forces and the Liberal Democratic Party further aggravated the right-wing of Japanese politics and the revision process of the "The Constitution of Japan".The movement of the Japanese right-wing forces on the issue of "comfort women" directly reflects the changes in contemporary Japanese right-wing thoughts,actions,goals,and guidelines,and is a subject worthy of continuing to follow up.
