2014年CRI 中国驻美大使崔天凯强烈谴责安倍参拜靖国神社

 

Chinese Ambassador to the United States Cui Tiankai says Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's visit to a controversial war shrine¹ is a deliberate political act aimed at reversing the verdict of history on World War II.

In a joint² interview with Washington-based Chinese-language media, Cui Tiankai says the international community should not allow Abe to disrupt the post-war order and lead Japan back to the catastrophic path of militarism.

The Chinese envoy³ urged all members of the international community with the sense of righteousness to take a clear stand against Abe's wrong actions.

Commenting on Washington's expression of disappointment with Abe's shrine visit and reiteration⁴ of its alliance with Japan, Cui Tiankai says, as a responsible power, Washington should take a responsible stand on major issues of principle.

It does not serve the United States' interests if there is someone in Japan attempting to reverse the historical verdict on World War II.
