China raps Japan

BEIJING: China on Friday renewed its call for Japan to “face up to” its 20th century history after Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s wife visited a shrine Beijing sees as a symbol of Tokyo’s warring past.
Akie Abe announced on her Facebook page on Thursday that she “paid respects” at the Yasukuni Shrine and visited the sanctuary’s museum, which its critics say glorifies Japan’s actions during World War II.
