Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s visit on Thursday to the controversial Yasukuni shrine was “absolutely unacceptable to the Chinese people,” China’s Foreign Ministry said.
The visit would cause “great harm to feelings of the people of Asia,” the ministry said shortly after Abe became the first Japanese premier to visit the shrine in Tokyo since 2006.
The shrine is dedicated to Japan’s 2.5 million war dead, including 14 Class A war criminals from World War II.
