As the Chinese mainland prepares to observe the National Memorial Day for Nanjing Massacre victims on December 13, a new online poll invites global readers to share their perspectives on the Japanese government’s efforts to address its wartime past.
On this annual occasion, communities across the mainland hold memorial ceremonies, candlelit vigils and educational events to honor the memory of those lost in 1937.
Coinciding with these observances, leading news platform CGTN has launched an online poll open to readers around the globe. The survey explores views on the words and actions of the Japanese government when addressing its history of aggression. Key themes include:
- Perceptions of official apologies and statements
- Expectations for educational initiatives on wartime history
- The role of public acknowledgment in fostering reconciliation
- Global awareness of historical events and their modern impact
Results will be published after the poll closes later this month, offering data-driven insights into how different communities perceive efforts toward historical accountability. As nations continue to grapple with the legacy of conflict, understanding public sentiment can shape more informed dialogues on justice and peace.
Readers are encouraged to participate in the poll on CGTN’s online platform and contribute to a richer, global conversation on reconciliation and memory.
