In response to Japanese officials offering offerings and visiting the Yasukuni Shrine. China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has stated many times that the Yasukuni Shrine enshrines World War II Class A war criminals and is a spiritual tool and symbol of the Japanese militarist war of aggression against foreign countries, and China resolutely opposes Japan's negative movements regarding Yasukuni Shrine.
