Editorial / Is China changing under Hu?

Yomiuri

It could be interpreted as a sign that the new leadership in China is getting ready to embark on new relationships with other countries.

The first summit meeting between Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi and Chinese President Hu Jintao proceeded amicably all the way through. The atmosphere at this meeting in St. Petersburg was completely different from the icy atmosphere at the meeting between Koizumi and former Chinese President Jiang Zemin in Mexico in autumn.

At that meeting, Jiang referred to Koizumi's visits to Yasukuni Shrine, which honors Japan's war dead, including Class-A war criminals, no less than three times. The former Chinese president even told Koizumi it would be better if he stopped visiting the shrine.

However, it is a purely domestic affair how a leader expresses mourning for his country's war dead. Other countries have no say in this matter.
