China and South Korea are furious with this.
Why is it so big problem? Because that shrine is not only for victims of WW1 and WW2, but it's also for people so called "war criminals". This is the main reason of this whole thing.
Abe is not the only PM who have visited this shrine during their reign, so did Taro Aso, Junichiro Koizumi. Well, unlike Abe, Junichiro Koizumi had mentioned frequently about his eagerness for the visit, but every time PM visits the shrine, China and Korea get furious. There's no exception.
Those PMs knew it, but still did it. It's really selfish act as PM, isn't it?
For PMs, they may just wanted to show their respect to the people who died during the war, I can understand that, well, everyone can, but for China and Korea, they take it as if those PM still admire "war criminals" and for that reason, it's really provocative and fearless act.
Then why they still go there? planned secretly and justify their visit after that? Why?
Interestingly, most Japanese people also are puzzled and wondered for this act. Few people support it. I don't know any of them personally but they must be far right. However, PMs do visit, every year... they always have visited and they always will.
I wonder why nobody can stop PM's this kind of crazy act.
It leads Japan nowhere better.
As I mentioned earlier, this is all because "war criminals" are also in the same shrine with others.
To make matters worse, so far, Japanese people do nothing about it. If we cannot stop PMs, then we need to find a way to separate those graves in one way or another.
