2013: Joys and sorrows of world politicians (3)

Shinzo Abe turned "right". In 2013, Shinzo Abe was busy travelling and talking. He completed a tour around China, visiting three Southeast Asian countries early this year, then the Unites States, later, Mongolia, Russia, Burma, Cambodia and Laos. At the same time, his tongue made troubles one after another. On many occasions, he hinted a visit to the Yasukuni Shrine, where war criminals are honored, and he did so in late December and stirred protests and criticism in neighboring countries. He also said tough words over territorial disputes Japan has with China and South Korea.
