I can't think of any Japanese actors who would even go to such a place. Japanese entertainment products play off well in China. Even they don't risk it. So, it is crazy that a Chinese person would to so so. Maybe if a Taiwanese did that it would make some sense, at least.

Can you even imagine any of the South Korean celebrities who would even imagine or dared to even come close to such ghastly place? This type of incidents is where I will vacillate on my opinion on the great helmsman (Mao Tzedong) cultural revolution's chaotic necessity in order to rid the country of people like this moron. This dude has really passed me off because it's not like the lad wasn't born and educated in China where if he's was a western born and bred Chinese it's understandable to some extent the use of historical ignorance as an excuse but holy hell why are there f..kers like this who not only willingly betrays the country and literally spits on the millions of Chinese people who died, bled, and suffered from the genocidal Japanese attempted subjugation. F..k that mother ...ker

I could be wrong on this but there was a porn star who went in the early 2010s. Not a problem since porn is banned in China and they can't make money from China anyway.

Exactly. There's not many places in this world I wouldn't be seen dead in. And that monstrosity called the Yasakuni shrine is definately top of my list!

You got to think, it is not just a shrine that housed all these war criminals. It is a shrine that honoured all the deads that have ever wronged others (mostly Chinese and koreans) through their war mongering. And more importantly the IMPORTANCE this place their political establishment have placed upon it. As such, we shouldn't be supporting that!

And you can make as much excuses as you like, calling him stupid what have you. But a film star would have minders and agents who would have his earning interest at heart, and his image to maintain.

They would/must have warned him. And i think he is too arragont to heed their advise. Which make me he think he is one SOB!

Of course, wgats happened in the past has got nothing to to with the current generation I hear you say. And this true. But it is the current generation's denial of the past that make then as guilty as the generations that committed their atrocities across Asia.

Look at this map, and how they are their neighbourhoods.

Zhang visited the shrine multiple times. I seriously doubt he didn't know the meaning of the shrine.

Xi Jinping, the ruler of China, suffers from several internal inconsistencies which greatly reduce the cohesion and effectiveness of his leadership. There is a conflict between his beliefs and his actions and between his public declarations of wanting to make China a superpower and his behavior as a domestic ruler. These internal contradictions have revealed themselves in the context of the growing conflict between the U.S. and China.


At the heart of this conflict is the reality that the two nations represent systems of governance that are diametrically opposed. The U.S. stands for a democratic, open society in which the role of the government is to protect the freedom of the individual. Mr. Xi believes Mao Zedong invented a superior form of organization, which he is carrying on: a totalitarian closed society in which the individual is subordinated to the one-party state. It is superior, in this view, because it is more disciplined, stronger and therefore bound to prevail in a contest.


Relations between China and the U.S. are rapidly deteriorating and may lead to war. Mr. Xi has made clear that he intends to take possession of Taiwan within the next decade, and he is increasing China’s military capacity accordingly.


He also faces an important domestic hurdle in 2022, when he intends to break the established system of succession to remain president for life. He feels that he needs at least another decade to concentrate the power of the one-party state and its military in his own hands. He knows that his plan has many enemies and he wants to make sure they won’t have the capacity to resist him.


It is against this backdrop that the current turmoil in the financial markets is unfolding, catching many people off guard and puzzling them. The confusion compounded the agitation.

I consider Mr. Xi the most dangerous enemy of open societies in the world. The Chinese people as a whole are among his victims, but domestic political opponents and religious and ethnic minorities suffer from his persecution much more. I find it particularly disturbing that so many Chinese people seem to find his social-credit surveillance system not only tolerable but attractive…
…He is intensely nationalistic and he wants China to become the dominant power in the world. He is also convinced that the Chinese Communist Party needs to be a Leninist party, willing to use its political and military power to impose its will. Xi Jinping strongly felt this was necessary to ensure that the Chinese Communist Party will be strong enough to impose the sacrifices needed to achieve his goal.
…The authorities have always been flexible enough to deal with any crisis, but they are losing their flexibility. To illustrate, a state-owned company produced a Covid-19 vaccine, Sinopharm, which has been widely exported all over the world, but its performance is inferior to all other widely marketed vaccines. Sinopharm won’t win any friends for China.
…To prevail in 2022, Mr. Xi has turned himself into a dictator. Instead of allowing the party to tell him what policies to adopt, he dictates the policies he wants it to follow. State media is now broadcasting a

in which Mr. Xi leads the Standing Committee of the Politburo in slavishly repeating after him an oath of loyalty to the party and to him personally. This must be a humiliating experience, and it is liable to turn against Mr. Xi even those who had previously accepted him.
…In other words, he has turned them into his own yes-men, abolishing the legacy of Deng’s consensual rule. With Mr. Xi there is little room for checks and balances. He will find it difficult to adjust his policies to a changing reality, because he rules by intimidation. His underlings are afraid to tell him how reality has changed for fear of triggering his anger.

China has a plan.

It is all about development.

These guys, and girls, the chattering class of the west, no idea.

Looks like George Soros has been losing a lot of money for the past few months since that is one helluva emotional article.

My immediate response to the claim was suspicion. It seemed an amateurish attempt to draw China more deeply into the Indo/Pak conflict. Not the behavior of a true ally, at all!

Nothing but a summary of negatives of China repeated in Western propaganda. It's the same list of things said before they say something that can't be denied as a positive towards China.

I'm convinced that ghouls like Soros and Murdoch are receiving blood transfusions and stem cells or some other weird experimental treatment to keep them alive. They're older than dirt, when are they going to croak already?
