China’s Foreign Ministry has brushed aside the latest offer by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to meet Chinese leaders.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said Abe has played a double game in relations with China since he took office. She said Abe has taken a series of actions that damaged bilateral relations and offended the Chinese people.
She said Abe went further this time by visiting the Yasukuni Shrine, which includes Class-A war criminals, despite strong opposition from China. The spokeswoman said Abe claims to value relations with China, but his actions show otherwise, and he has shut the door on dialogue.
She urged Abe to reflect deeply on the history of aggression and colonialism by Japanese militarists and take concrete actions to improve relations with its neighbors.
