CCTV--Japanese political critic slams Japans textbook revision plan 01-31-2014 13:54 BJT A Japanese political critic has slammed Japan over announced plans to revise its textbooks, including the disputed Diaoyu Islands as Japanese territory. Jiro Motozawa said that the amendment is a distortion of history, and the purpose of amending textbooks is to eliminate the spirit of self-reflection from Japanese people. He said it will be easier for the country to deny war-time invasion and re-arm itself. We must take this matter seriously, because it is not only about textbooks. The government is trying to plant nationalism within its people, and its ultimate goal is to revise the peace constitution. The strategy is very dangerous and will definitely receive strong objection from China and South Korea. However, the Japanese government can use the opposition to their advantage, and spread the China threat theory to its people, who will be given the wrong message - That is Japan can only survive by developing its military power,” he said.
