Online Edition
CHINA on Wednesday voiced strong opposition to a visit by Japanese lawmakers to the notorious Yasukuni shrine.
"We hope Japanese politicians will take a correct view of history in such a sensitive year, which marks the 70th anniversary of the end of WWII," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei at a regular press briefing.
He also urged the Japanese politicians to do more to help Japan reconcile and build trust with its neighbors.
A group of Japanese lawmakers from various parties visited the Yasukuni Shrine Wednesday morning for the annual spring festival, local media reported.
Their visits came a day after Prime Minister Shinzo Abe dedicated a "masakaki" tree offering to the shrine, which honors Japan's war dead, including 14 Class-A convicted WWII criminals.
