China Condemns Japanese Prime Minister's Offering at Yasukuni Shrine
China sharply criticized Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi after she made an offering at Yasukuni Shrine, which commemorates Japan's war dead, including figures considered senior World War II war criminals. Offerings at the shrine have long strained Japan's ties with China and South Korea. Beijing did not detail the specific form of its protest, and no immediate Japanese response was reported.
