China on Thursday expressed strong displeasure against Japan for
Lee Teng-hui's visit after Lee visited the Yasukuni Shrine in
Tokyo.
"From what Lee Teng-hui has done in Japan we can see what his
purpose is. China again expresses strong dissatisfaction with the
Japanese side for allowing Lee Teng-hui to visit Japan," said
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu at a regular press
conference.
Lee Teng-hui paid a visit to the Yasukuni Shrine on Thursday,
where his elder brother is enshrined together with Japanese war
criminals of World War II.
China last Thursday had expressed its strong displeasure for
Japan on Lee Teng-hui's visit.
"The purpose of Lee Teng-hui's tour is to create fanfare for
'Taiwan Independence' and sabotage China-Japan relations," Jiang
said.
