‘War criminals shrine’: China’s replacement name for Yasukuni sharpens rhetoric against Japan

[ety]

And China doesn't provoke Philippines by provoking?

Any dumbass can see who is constantly provoking whom in SCS if he is not biased or not turning blind eyes on the matter.

China and Vietnam have good and strategic relation now, there is no problem. Filipino navy constantly provokes and attacks Chinese Coast Guards in SCS and China exercised lots retraint, not China threatening or attacking Filipin, lol. We know which country is behind Filipin. Dont twist things around.

The first country Vietnam president visited was China and spent 4 days there talking about strategic partner, historic relations and communist brotherhood lol. Somehow the West can spin that into animosity is hilarious.

China is seen as a mediator and strategic partner by ASEAN. China mediates conflicts between thailand and cambodia. Mediates religious conflicts and ethnic issues across Burma. Invest vast sums of money in places like Laos and is on friendly terms with malaysia, indonesia and singapore.

Only US vassal state phillipines try to antagonise China and somehow China is the big bully of the region? Everyone should do actual research on a topic before forming an opinion.

Isn't it funny that under duterte there were no issues between China and the filos. But soon as pro america marcos gets into power, the USA orders them to antagonise china and china responds in the most peaceful way they can.

US military and strategy experts regularly and publicly threatening to go to war with China esp on Taiwan and SCS matters even with nuke attacks. Now talk of how peace loving and rightful they are in the world, lol.

Its just part of their yearly billions dollar propaganda campaign to brainwash their own people to hate china. Its kinda sad that people refuse to do their own research and blindly believe whatever they are told by their media which is likely controlled by the CIA.

On the 17th, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a Spokesperson's commentary, "We once again express deep disappointment and regret that responsible, senior figures in Japan have yet again offered ritual donations to, or paid respects at, the Yasukuni Shrine, which glorifies Japan's past wars of aggression and enshrines war criminals."

It added, "We urge Japan's responsible leaders to face history squarely and to demonstrate through actions a humble introspection and genuine remorse over past history."

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs added, "We reiterate that this is an important foundation for building a future-oriented Korea-Japan relationship based on trust between states and between people."

Earlier, on this day, Prime Minister Takaichi offered a ritual donation called "masakaki" under the name "Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi" to mark the start of the autumn grand festival (Reitaisai) at the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo.

Yasukuni Shrine is a facility that commemorates the spirits of about 2,466,000 people who died in civil wars around the Meiji Restoration and in the wars started by Japan. Of these, about 2,133,000 are deaths related to the Pacific War.

In particular, 14 individuals, including former Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, who were convicted as Class-A war criminals at the International Military Tribunal for the Far East (Tokyo Trials), are enshrined there, leading to friction with neighboring countries such as Korea and China over visits by Japanese politicians or the offering of ritual donations.
