29-Year-Old Chinese National Pleads Guilty to Vandalizing Yasukuni Shrine in Fukushima Protest
Nov 29, 2024, 09:15 AM
A 29-year-old Chinese national, identified as Jiang Zhuojun, has pleaded guilty to vandalizing Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo with graffiti in May. The act involved writing the word 'toilet' in English on a stone pillar at the shrine, which honors, among others, World War II criminals. Jiang, who was once an ambitious student working at an educational institution, admitted to the charges of property damage and disrespect towards a place of worship. His motive, he claimed, was to protest against the discharge of treated water from the Fukushima nuclear plant. Despite his actions, Jiang stated he held no personal grudge against the shrine itself. The incident has drawn attention to the ongoing tensions between China and Japan, particularly regarding historical grievances and environmental issues.
