Japanese minister visits shrine
Print Edition
A Japanese minister visited a war shrine seen as a symbol of Japan’s wartime aggression yesterday, pouring salt on a fresh wound after Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s visit last week was condemned by China and South Korea.
Internal Affairs Minister Yoshitaka Shindo visited the Yasukuni shrine, where Class A war criminals are honored.
Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said: “The Chinese people and people of other Asian nations will not allow Japan to drive history in reverse. We solemnly urge Japan to reflect upon history and change course.”
A People’s Daily commentary yesterday called Abe’s actions a threat to peace. “Abe paying homage at the Yasukuni Shrine is an offensive, open provocation, and announces to the world his old imperial dreams. The international community must strike back strongly and be on guard for the ashes of Japan’s militarism to reignite,” it said.
