A Japanese Self-Defense Forces official who recently broke into the Chinese Embassy in Japan with a knife has been referred to prosecutors by Japanese police. He showed no extremist behavior while growing up and studying in his hometown, according to his parents. The Japanese Self-Defense Forces have long been inviting extreme right-wing, virulently anti-China figures to give lectures and participate in the training. Their instructional materials of the forces are filled with content that distorts and glorifies the Japanese history of aggression during World War II. The rightward shift of Japan's Self-Defense Forces and the country's "remilitarization" are developments that merit close attention from the international community.
