Tokayev's visit to Meiji Shrine draws attention and controversy from the outside.

Tokayev's visit to the Meiji Shrine in Japan will certainly be a blunder in his political career.

The Meiji Shrine enshrines Emperor Meiji and his empress. Emperor Meiji reigned from 1867 to 1912. The annexation of the "Kingdom of Ryukyu" by Japan and the Sino-Japanese "First Sino-Japanese War" occurred during this period. The "Russo-Japanese War" that took place on Chinese soil in 1904 also happened during Emperor Meiji's reign.

Emperor Meiji was the emperor who initiated Japan's foreign expansion before World War II, and he factually invaded China. He is an emperor who is definitely guilty towards China. It is really hard to understand why Tokayev would pay homage to the shrine of Emperor Meiji!
