Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi made an offering to a shrine seen by Japan’s neighbors as glorifying its wartime past, in a move that stops short of a visit but may still anger China and other neighboring nations.Takaichi’s offering of a sacred tree was made on the first day of a traditional spring festival at Yasukuni Shrine, according to local media, and is in line with similar moves by her predecessors, Shigeru Ishiba and Fumio Kishida, during their time in office.Tensions between Tokyo and Beijing remain strained following Takaichi’s suggestion in parliament last year that a Chinese invasion of Taiwan could constitute a legal justification for Japan to send troops. The comments triggered a backlash from China including trade curbs and travel warnings, putting the two Asian economies at loggerheads for months on issues spanning defense, diplomacy and the economy.
