    Veteran filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki denounces government plans to remilitarise Japan

    Acclaimed animator and filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki last week denounced Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s moves to undermine the country’s nominally pacifist post-World War II constitution and called for an unambiguous apology to China and Korea for Japanese war crimes committed during World War II.

    Miyazaki made the comments last Monday, a few days before Abe’s right-wing Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) government, with the backing of its ally New Komeito, pushed 11 new “collective self-defence” bills through the parliament’s lower house.
