Japan PM Shinzo Abe visits Yasukuni WW2 shrine

Well,...... S--t.

Japan's prime minister has infuriated China and South Korea by visiting a shrine that honours Japan's war dead, including some convicted war criminals.

Shinzo Abe said his visit to Yasukuni was an anti-war gesture.

But China called the visit "absolutely unacceptable to the Chinese people", and Seoul expressed "regret and anger". They see Yasukuni as a symbol of Tokyo's aggression during World War Two, when Japan occupied large parts of China and the Korean peninsula.

The US embassy in Tokyo said in a statement it was "disappointed" and that Mr Abe's actions would "exacerbate tensions" with Japan's neighbours....

chah - ya think?

An absolutely revolting and disgusting act. Instead of following the Germans, they have to choose this path. Well, let's see what Japan's future will look like.
