The decision making system and policy of Japan's war of aggression against China

Zang Yunhu pointed out in the fifth issue of Journal of Peking University (PHILOSOPHY AND SOCIAL SCIENCES EDITION) for 2020 that modern Japan had formed a unique war decision-making system, which was perfected in the period of the comprehensive war of aggression against China and the Pacific War, and finally collapsed with the defeat. After the July 7th incident, Japan quickly moved towards a full-scale war of aggression against China, restored the "base camp" and "imperial conference" system, and implemented the decision-making system of "base camp government joint conference"; in the later period of the Pacific War, Japan launched the decision-making system of "supreme war guidance Conference", but it failed in the end. The decision-making system and policy of Japan's war of aggression against China, with the emperor as the leader, the government and the military headquarters as the main body, and the political strategy and strategy as the core, established through continuous evolution in Modern Japan, proves that Japan's aggression against China and foreign war is not only the responsibility of the military headquarters and militarism, but also the common responsibility of the highest ruling group of Japan, including the emperor and the government.
