Japan's Suga sends ritual offering to notorious Yasukuni Shrine - China.org.cn

Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga sent a ritual offering to the war-linked Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo on Saturday.

The "masakaki" tree offering by Suga comes on the first day of the shrine's two-day autumn festival and was made in the name of the prime minister, as did his predecessor Shinzo Abe in recent years.

The Japanese leader, however, did not visit the controversial shrine in person.
