At a recent press conference, a Chinese foreign spokesperson called Japan's notorious Yasukuni Shrine a "war criminals' shrine." Why?
Because it literally enshrines convicted WWII war criminals, including 14 Class A war criminals tied to Japan's brutal wars of aggression across Asia.
Some in Japan try to dress it up as a "harmless" religious site. But for many across Asia, Yasukuni stands as a shrine to militarism, historical whitewashing and the continued glorification of convicted war criminals.
