WorldChina condemns Japanese politicians over Yasukuni Shrine offerings

China strongly condemned Japanese politicians after Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi sent ritual offerings to Yasukuni Shrine and some cabinet members and lawmakers visited. A Chinese Embassy spokesperson called the shrine a symbol of Japanese militarism and said the actions seek to whitewash war criminals, cover up wartime atrocities and pave the way for remilitarization. China urged Japan to face its wartime responsibilities and break with militarism.
