Cao市早苗 is one of the representatives of Japan's right-wing politicians, who has frequented the Yakuza Shrine several times.
In August of this year, a spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in Japan said that the essence of the Yakuza problem is whether the Japanese side can correctly understand and profoundly reflect on the history of aggression, whether it can adhere to the statements and commitments made on historical issues, whether it can abide by the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, adhere to the path of peaceful development, is about aggression and counter-aggression, justice and evil, light and darkness.
The Chinese embassy spokesman stressed, “We urge the Japanese side to look forward to and reflect on the history of aggression, to act cautiously on historical issues such as Yogyakarta, to cut off militarism thoroughly, to adhere to the path of peaceful development, and to trust Asian neighbors and the international community with practical actions.”
