China says Japan's government was fully aware of the disgraceful nature of enshrining Class-A war criminals at Yasukuni Shrine. Japanese media recently published internal meeting records showing the government and shrine reached an arrangement as early as the 1960s, though the details did not become public until 1979. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said on Thursday that the evidence of the aggression committed by Japanese militarism is irrefutable.
