Abe visits Yasukuni

And so another Japanese premier visits Yasukuni and, as predicatable as rollers breaking on a beach, the sound of infuriated Chinese and Koreans denouncing it as unacceptable and the Chinese in particular, to emphasise their commitment to a peaceful world, threatening unspecified repercussions.

Two good comments on ZeroHedge. One simply points out that China complains mightily when anyone else interferes in their domestic affairs. The other — well, it's worth quoting in full:

The Chinese leadership failed to mention that the Japanese killed 6-10 million Chinese, yet under Mao the Chinese managed to kill 60-90 million of their own citizens. Interestingly it is the revolutionaries families of the Mao era that are getting filthy rich while most are still suffering.
