China v Japan: Who is at fault?
BBC News - China v Japan: Who is at fault?
Look like Abe visiting Yasukuni and his right ring government is alienating Japan from United States and the West. Even BBC says it is Japan's fault. Perhaps the West is now realised China has been correct.
Quote
The dispute has everything to do with Japanese nationalism, according to the National Interest's Jacob Heilbrunn.
The editors of the Australian echo these concerns, warning that Mr Abe's shrine visit is increasing tensions with his country's regional allies.
"Like many on the right here, Mr Abe believes that constitution was forced on Japan by America and is a humiliation," he writes. "It imposes not only pacifism, but also Western notions of human rights and civil liberties. It rejects Japan's uniqueness in favour of 'universal values'."
