Features: Adhering to "learning from history and looking toward the future," upholding and developing a stable China-Japan relationship, which aligns with the common interests of the people of both China and Japan. In recent years, one significant reason affecting the healthy development of China-Japan relations has been the repeated visits by Japanese leaders to the Yasukuni Shrine and their frequent justifications for these visits, even claiming that "other countries should not interfere in commemorating the war dead" and expressing confusion over the reasons why they cannot visit." We have compiled this book to introduce the war crimes committed by the 14 Class-A war criminals enshrined in Yasukuni Shrine against the Chinese people and the people of many countries in Asia, so that the world can understand why China opposes Japanese leaders visiting the Yasukuni Shrine.
