Against the backdrop of strong opposition from China and South Korea, another senior official from Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) visited the notorious Yasukuni Shrine on Sunday, following a string of visits by senior party figures the previous day on the 81st anniversary of Japan's unconditional surrender in World War II.
Their handling of the Yasukuni Shrine issue, Chinese observers said, served as a revealing "mirror," laying bare the growing influence of far-right ideology in Japanese society and its gradual emergence into the mainstream to piece together the picture of neo-militarism, while broader political and security moves under the current government point to a gradual erosion of Japan's postwar pacifist constraints and a drift toward neo-militarism.
Rampant far-right sentiment
According to Japanese media outlet The Mainichi, Takayuki Kobayashi, a senior executive of Japan's ruling LDP, visited the war-linked Yasukuni shrine on Sunday.
One day before his visit, a total of four Cabinet ministers visited the shrine, along with three top ruling party executives - Secretary General Shunichi Suzuki, General Council Chair Haruko Arimura and election strategy chief Yasutoshi Nishimura, per the report.
Although Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi did not visit the shrine, she made a "tamagushi" ritual offering to the war-linked shrine in her capacity as president of the LDP. Takaichi also performed a remote act of worship toward the notorious Yasukuni Shrine, a symbol of the country's militarism and wartime aggression, from nearby instead of visiting in person, according to the Xinhua News Agency.
The shrine, located in central Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward, honors 14 convicted Class-A Japanese war criminals from World War II. For a long time, visits and ritual offerings made by Japanese officials to the controversial shrine have consistently sparked criticism and opposition both at home and abroad.
The visits drew immediate and firm opposition from China and South Korea on Saturday. China's Foreign Ministry, Ministry of National Defense and the Chinese Embassy have all voiced their objections.
"We urge the Japanese side to do serious soul-searching on its history of aggression, make a clean break with militarism, and earn trust from its Asian neighbors and the rest of the world with concrete actions," a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said in a statement on Saturday.
South Korea also denounced visits by Japanese officials and politicians, urging Japan's leaders to squarely face history and show remorse in order to develop bilateral relations based on mutual trust, South Korean media Yonhap News Agency reported on Saturday.
Kim Hak-jo, director general for international policy at South Korea's defense ministry, summoned Takeshi Nagayoshi, Japan's defense attache in Seoul, to the ministry headquarters and lodged a strong protest over Japanese Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi's visit to the shrine, the ministry said, per Yonhap.
Despite the criticism, Kobayashi said he visited the shrine as a "family member," noting that his grandfather had died in the war, according to the Mainichi.
Lü Chao, a professor at the Liaoning Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times on Sunday that Takaichi's move signaled "tolerance" of such visits. Even without visiting the shrine in person, Takaichi performed a ritualized act of worship toward it from nearby, which Lü said exposed her deeply entrenched position.
The episode also serves as a "mirror," laying bare the political attitudes of Japanese politicians and their views on war and history, Lü said. Looking at the visits by successive Japanese cabinets in past years, former prime minister Shigeru Ishiba at least expressed remorse over the war, whereas the current government has become more hardline. This shows that far-right sentiment in Japan is becoming increasingly widespread and is gradually moving into the mainstream, he continued.
"Japan is piecing together the picture of neo-militarism. The international community should remain alert to the risk of Japanese militarism's resurgence," the expert added.
Also on Saturday, Takaichi attended her first war memorial ceremony since taking office last year. In her speech, Takaichi pledged peace but she fell short of using the words employed at last year's memorial by her predecessor Ishiba, who vowed to keep in mind Japan's "remorse" over the war and expressed its "resolute pledge to renounce war," Japanese media Kyodo News reported.
Before the late Shinzo Abe, Takaichi's "political mentor," took office as prime minister for the second time in December 2012, Japanese leaders had consistently mentioned the nation's aggression and expressed remorse at the ceremony, per Kyodo News.
Takaichi's remarks seek to balance Japan's established national position with her own political interests and those of her party, Lian Degui, director of the Center for Japanese Studies at Shanghai International Studies University, told the Global Times on Sunday.
As a representative of the right wing in Japan, Takaichi herself does not advocate deeper reflection on Japan's wartime past, but she also faces constraints from opposing political forces at home. Her deliberate avoidance of terms such as "remorse" therefore reflects her personal political stance, while also serving as a compromise between competing forces on Japan's political spectrum, Lian added.
Takaichi has adopted similarly ambiguous language on other sensitive security issues. At memorial ceremonies in Hiroshima and Nagasaki earlier this month, Takaichi said Japan currently maintains its Three Non-Nuclear Principles but stopped short of explicitly committing her government to keeping all three principles in the future.
Lian added that offering ambiguous remarks could also be seen as a move designed to leave room for policy debates over possible revisions to national security documents and related principles by year end. "As long as right-wing forces remain in power, Japan will continue drifting toward neo-militarism through a gradual and sustained erosion of the constraints imposed by its pacifist Constitution," Lian said.
Underlying strategic anxiety
In Takaichi's speech on Saturday, she also claimed that her country could become "a shining beacon in the 'Indo-Pacific' that others could rely on." The Japan Times reported on Saturday that her inclusion of the term "Indo-Pacific" likewise brought her foreign-policy agenda into the memorial message.
In an effort to curry favor with Washington, Japan has sought to portray itself as a leading force in containing China's rise. Yet such ambitions clearly overstate Japan's own capabilities and amount to little more than strategic overreach, as the gap between Japan and China in terms of overall national strength remains substantial, the expert said.
Takaichi's decision to invoke its so-called "Indo-Pacific strategy" on a sensitive historical anniversary only further exposes her administration's strategic anxiety and uncertainty in the face of China's rise, Lian added.

B | 　　同日，渤海银行、台州银行、江苏辖区内农商银行也纷纷就个人消费贷款（含信用卡分期）财政贴息政策中的贴息金额，尤其是信用卡分期贴息范围、贴息比例及适用程序、无法享受信用卡分期贴息的原因等问题为客户做出解答。

C | 　　结合各家银行推送内容来看，在贴息政策的适用方面，银行大多考虑到客户操作的便利性，明示客户无需再办理额外的手续。不过，针对信用卡使用过程中存在欺诈、虚假消费、资金流入非消费领域或国家有关政策规定的其他违法违规行为，银行也明确不予财政贴息，对已享受财政贴息的，有权以适当方式扣减或追回贴息资金。　　与此同时，多家机构明确表示，不会委托任何第三方（包括社会中介）办理，不收取任何贴息相关费用，提示客户警惕不法中介风险。　　招联首席经济学家、上海金融与发展实验室执行主任董希淼认为，随着互联网贷款和金融产品网络营销等监管政策趋严，信用卡正成为提振消费的金融主力军，作用将进一步彰显。此次财政部将信用卡专项分期纳入贴息范围，推动金融支持服务从“事后分摊账单”前移到“事前消费决策”，将充分释放信用卡“高频、广覆、深渗透”等特性，有助于进一步释放金融支持消费的杠杆效应，有效提振居民消费意愿和能力。　　加快疏通“高储蓄—低消费”堵点　　8月21日，国新办举行“开局起步‘十五五’”系列主题新闻发布会，介绍发挥积极财政政策作用，推动经济社会高质量发展有关情况。财政部副部长廖岷在会上指出，财政金融协同促内需政策已经优化完善，并自8月1日起开始实施，具体包括三方面新的举措，一是拓宽贴息范围，二是增加经办机构，三是进一步提高额度上限。　　值得注意的是，此次贴息政策升级将包括购车、装修在内的新发生的各类信用卡分期消费都纳入到政策支持范围，更好地贴近大众消费习惯。

D | 按此，消费者只要是用信用卡分期方式进行消费，都可以享受贴息优惠。　　光大证券金融业首席分析师王一峰指出，此次政策是继年初“一揽子”贷款财政贴息政策的进一步优化升级，主要围绕拓宽支持领域、增加经办机构、提升贷款上限额度等方面展开。自年初财政金融协同促内需的6项政策推出以来，1月至7月政策累计支持相关领域新发放贷款超20万亿元，较上年同期增长超8800亿元，增幅达4.5%。

E | 此次财政贴息扩围增量后，有望强化前期政策实施效果，推动零售、小微客群存量信贷需求进一步释放。　　董希淼对记者指出，贴息政策必须“加码”以覆盖更多的真实消费场景，将购车、装修等长周期、大金额消费纳入，同时通过提升额度至5000元来更好地降低居民边际借贷成本。此外，贴息政策实施周期精准锁定下半年，有助于抓住“金九银十”及年底冲量的时间窗口，通过财政资金与金融信贷协同发力，加快破解“高储蓄—低消费”的堵点和痛点。这既是对前期政策效果的修正补强，也是应对短期经济下行压力的必要之举。　　“但是，银行明确将追回虚假消费的贴息资金，意味着消费者需确保每笔贷款、分期都要有真实消费背景，绝不能套现或流入投资领域。
