Taiwan vows to defend itself after Yoshihide Suga qualifies Japan’s stance

[Suika]

You are saying Suga is Hilter? Good!

Yasukuni shrine is a torn in flesh for all Asian countries invaded by Japan. China, North, South Korea, Philippine, Indonesian all hated it. Even in Taiwan, those worship the shrine are minority. Any Taiwan politician claim to endorse the shrine will be suicide for its politic career.

Symbol for imperialism is a bad augument. Yasukuni is for all of Japan's war dead, not just WW2. So it isn't a place specifically for just WW2. Empire of Japan came into being during a time of empires and even if we today discredit the old ways of empire, there is still an expectation to be had for each country holding their war dead at a traditional place of memory. Also, countries like the Philippines and Indonesia were colonies and were invaded for the reason of the colonial owners playing big power geopolitics, which is why "class A war criminal" is really a construct to seed an impression into new generations of all blame for the war being Japan and not a result of big power competition. Another reason is that Yasukuni with the Chinreisha so also pays tribute to those died as cvilians and those that died fighting against Japan. The basis for memorial for both sides is there. But maybe because it is a good thing, it can gain credibility, and that credibility might be what China also does not like about Yasukuni.

Japan government can remove the A class war criminal from Yasukini shrine. Then all asian countries will not no problem for Japanese or leaders to visit this shrine. But Japanese government refused to do that..

Adolf Hitler is also credit for his brave feat in WWI of old Germany but does he deserve to be honor for his doing in WWII?

Hitler was different because he just went and invaded Poland. The attack on Pearl Harbor was different because the decision to attack and start the war with the US and GB came after the oil embargo and Japanese diplomatic efforts in trying to repair relations with the US. The US renined firm on their position of keeping the oil embargo with their demand if leaving all of China. So it's not the same. Additionally, the second-Sino Chinese war also started partly due to Chinese agitating the border of Manchuria which before that was the Xi'an incident. CKS was originally not planning on even starting a war with Japan at that time but the Chinese communists pressured him in his kidnapping to do so. Japan once had unequal laws upon it like China had but Japan didn't take the revolutionary path like the Chinese communists did. Instead, Japan reversed those unequal treaties one by one. China could have done the same.

You are just full of excuse for Japan war crime. We are not gullible and your explanation is terrible!

The PRC has much to change in order to build deep relations with Japan. The US is not particularly critical about Yasukuni Shrine but China is. The US side sometimes has joint memorial service with Japanese for some battles such as for Iwo Jima. Taiwan has temples enshrining a Japanese warship and fighter pilot even. Japan does not gesture anything against the PRC for paying respects to their war dead. But the PRC won't even reciprocate that. For all the anti-western rhetoric that the PRC produces, it was Japan that competed and fought against the same western powers. Despite that, the US proves better freindship than the PRC ever has.

China is fucking nuts just like korea,these two nations believe in the shit they themself made up. All of Japan pressuring China to change it's ways in a more vocal and open manner. The communist party want to seek glory by portraying itself as liberator from japan even though,they didn't really fought against the Japanese(kmt which ccp refers as dictator regime of chiang kai sek fought against japan). In these two fascist nation there's no freedom of speech against the state's political line. When their state-sponsored propaganda says ,japan is evil,every one has to reiterate that otherwise get banned/blacklisted or imprisoned.

Without the "invasion" by japan Asian countries would have been still colonies of the west.
Nobody gives a flying fk about yasukini shrine other than china and korea where fascist gov determines what their people says on historical and political matter .
In ph/indo there's an option for debate and discussion regarding any historical issue.

War crimes levied upon japan are post fact laws,based on International law there's no basis for accusing japan of crime. 70-80's CCP was just dishonest,to seek political points and potray ccp as liberating heroes,they adopted the anti japan propaganda ,thus destroying the peace and unity of asia and allowing western imperialist to divide and rule.
Asian countries have no problem with yasukini shrine other than China and Korea,because these two decided to use it a political point against japan.

There is nothing China needs to change for it's relations with Japan because Japan is a vassal state of the US. Its foreign policy is made in Washington DC.

China only has to deal with the US man to man not with a concubine in the harem.
