Yunnan Tour Feedbacks
If Abe has his way, history would vanish

Japan has been looking over its shoulder since the United States said it was "disappointed thatthe Japanese leader has taken an action that will exacerbate tensions with Japan's neighbors".Japan took it as a "rarestatement and was shocked.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe paid his first official visit to Yasukuni Shrinewhich honors14 Class-A war criminalson Dec 26. And instead of heeding to the strong protests from Chinaand the Republic of Koreathe Abe administration has been busy trying to deal with therepercussions from the Westespecially the US.

A team of bipartisan Japanese lawmakersled by former foreign minister Hirofumi Nakasone,visited the US recently to convince American officials that Abe's visit to Yasukuni - as theJapanese prime minister put it - was an act designed to "promote peace". Japanese Vice-Foreign Minister Nobuo KishiAbe's younger brotheris on a visit to the US from Jan 13 to 17 tomake American officials "understandwhy Abe visited the shrineThe third team is expected tobe led by Shotaro Yachihead of secretariat of the Japanese version of the US National SecurityCouncil.

Last yearAsahi Shimbun called Abe a "cockyaggressive driver". But Abe's nationalistic recordtells us that he didn't simply wake up on the morning of Dec 26 and decide it was a great day tocommunicate with the spirits of dead Japanese soldiersHe chose the day to commemorate hisone year in office and knew full well the consequences of his action.

Irrespective of its motivethe US this time has warned Japanese leaders against visitingYasukuniDuring their trip to Japan in OctoberUS Secretary of State John Kerry and Secretaryof Defense Chuck Hagel gave Yasukuni the skip and visited the Chidorigafuchi NationalCemeterywhich houses the remains of more than 350,000 unidentified Japanese who died inWorld War IIThe US officials demonstrated how respect can be paid to the war dead evenwithout visiting Yasukuni.

Besideswhen Abe's adviser Seiichi Eto visited the US in November last yearUS AssistantSecretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Daniel Russel told him that Abe would hurtbilateral ties if he visited Yasukuni.
