Takaichi reportedly mulls skipping visit to notorious Yasukuni Shrine on anniversary of WWII surrender; experts see political maneuvering, not historical remorse_我的网站

    Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi attended the party leaders debate held at the House of Representatives in the Diet,. Tokyo Japan on July 15, 2026.
Due to concerns about fueling tension with China and South Korea, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is considering refraining from visiting the notorious Yasukuni Shrine, a symbol of Japanese militarism and wartime aggression, to mark the anniversary of Japan's unconditional surrender in World War II (WWII) on Saturday, Japanese media outlet Kyodo quoted sources familiar with the matter as saying on Wednesday. 
Chinese experts said even if Takaichi forgoes a visit to the notorious shrine, the potential decision is merely driven by political calculations and diplomatic maneuvering, and could not be interpreted as a shift in her right-wing stance or as a sign of remorse over Japan's wartime aggression.
Such a visit to the shrine by Takaichi, a conservative known for her hawkish foreign policies, would certainly fuel tensions with China and create a rift in relations with South Korea, two countries that suffered under Japan's wartime military atrocities, Kyodo News reported.
Takaichi regularly visited the shrine before, even while serving as a Cabinet minister. But she has not visited the shrine since becoming leader of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party and prime minister in October, according to Kyodo news. 
Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara said at a press conference on August 7, when asked about a possible visit by Takaichi to the shrine around the anniversary, that "it is a matter for the prime minister to decide appropriately on her own," according to Japan's Jiji Press. 
A source close to Takaichi told the Jiji that, "I don't think the prime minister will visit Yasukuni Shrine. It would complicate relations with South Korea."
Japan's Asahi TV reported that Takaichi may forgo the visit because she believes it is necessary to avoid triggering diplomatic tensions with South Korea, as well as with China.
A visit to the notorious shrine by a sitting Japanese prime minister would be a serious political incident, as it would reflect the leader's attitude toward Japan's wartime aggression and broader historical issues. Even if Takaichi chooses not to visit the shrine, it would not signal a retreat from her right-wing stance or a change in her views of Japan's wartime aggression against other countries, Lü Chao, an expert on Korean Peninsula issues at the Liaoning Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times. Rather, he said, the decision would largely reflect political calculations and diplomatic maneuvering. 
Lü added that Takaichi could still make other symbolic gestures on the anniversary to cater to Japan's right-wing forces, whose support helped propel her to power. Such a move, he said, would underscore that her views of Japan's wartime history remain unchanged and serve as a reminder to neighboring Asian countries to remain vigilant about Japan's political direction.
Reporting on Takaichi's possible decision to forgo a visit to the shrine, South Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo said on Wednesday that Takaichi had regularly visited the Yasukuni Shrine. "In the Liberal Democratic Party leadership election held in October last year, Takaichi also said that if appointed prime minister, she would visit the Yasukuni Shrine, noting that such visits should not become a diplomatic issue." However, since then, Takaichi has not visited in person and has only dedicated offerings in a private capacity, per the report. 
In April, after Takaichi sent a ritual offering to the notorious Yasukuni Shrine, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said that China firmly opposes and strongly condemns Japan's latest negative moves related to Yasukuni Shrine and has lodged strong representations and protests with the Japanese side.
The Yasukuni Shrine is a spiritual tool and symbol of Japanese militarists responsible for the war of aggression. It is in fact a shrine for war criminals, noted Guo.
No sitting prime minister has gone to Yasukuni since Japan's late leader Shinzo Abe did so in 2013, drawing strong criticism from neighboring Asian countries. 
Beyond Takaichi herself, some Japanese politicians and lawmakers have kept visiting the Yasukuni Shrine, triggering fierce pushback from peace advocates in Japan and the international community, Liu Jiangyong, a professor at the Institute of International Studies of Tsinghua University, told the Global Times, noting that such visits not only reflect the long-standing right-wing stance of Takaichi and other conservative politicians on historical issues, but also lay bare Japan's enduring militarist remnants.
Also in April, members of the conservative solidarity association, a group of conservatives in Japan's Liberal Democratic Party, and 166 Sanseito lawmakers from the Diet and local assemblies visited the Yasukuni war shrine. 
In response, Lin Jian, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said that China strongly deplores and condemns such acts. 
"By visiting the Yasukuni war shrine that honors Japanese Class-A war criminals year after year, these Japanese politicians seek to reverse the just verdict on Japanese aggression, and hereby whitewash Japan's war crimes and revive militarism. The Chinese people and people elsewhere who suffered under Japanese aggression will never accept that, neither will anyone in the world who stand for peace. As Japanese neo-militarism keeps gaining strength, the international community must stay on high alert and stand ready to stamp it out before it could wreak havoc in the region," said Lin.
。     8 月 26 日消息，针对近期推出的一款会将必应搜索和必应主页设置到电脑上所有浏览器中的新应用引发的争议，微软作出了回应。微软向 Windows Latest 表示，这款工具“不会通过 Windows 或 Edge 进行分发”，这意味着 Microsoft Recommended Search Settings（微软推荐搜索设置）应用属于可选软件，未经用户同意，不会更改任何默认设置。不过，目前仍然不清楚微软为何要推出这款必应工具。它的完成度相当高，设计也颇为周到，可以同时修改多个浏览器的默认搜索引擎。在测试中，这款应用确实能够将 Chrome 和 Brave 的默认搜索引擎分别从 Google 和 Brave Search 切换为必应，同时还会将必应主页设置为新标签页。这意味着它并非一个仅用于演示的原型，而是一款功能完整、可以正常工作的应用。不过，根据微软的说法，这款应用不会在后台打扰用户。

B | 微软发言人表示：“这是一款可选应用，用户可以自行选择下载和安装。它不会通过 Windows 或 Edge 进行分发，任何默认设置的更改都需要获得用户同意。这些设置也可以随时进行调整。”因此，用户可以放心，这款工具不会通过 Windows Update 或某项后台服务悄悄进入系统。微软也确认，Edge 同样不具备通过这种方式进行设置修改的能力。

C | Windows Latest 从微软的下载门户安装了 MicrosoftSettings.exe。安装程序大小为 22.2MB，整个安装过程并不复杂，但会在不同阶段多次要求用户确认是否同意修改默认设置。当然，搜索引擎和主页设置随时都可以手动修改，但很多用户往往会长期使用默认设置。这也解释了为什么 Google 每年愿意向苹果支付数十亿美元，以让 Google Search 成为 iPhone 上的默认搜索引擎。完成安装并同意相关设置后，这款应用会在 Chrome、其他基于 Chromium 的浏览器（例如 Brave）以及 Firefox 中安装一个名为“Microsoft Bing Homepage & Search”的扩展程序。

D | Chrome 针对该扩展程序的权限提示显示，它可以读取和修改所有网站上的数据、显示通知，并将主页、搜索设置和启动页面修改为 bing.com。

E | 作为防护措施，Chrome 在搜索引擎被切换后还会弹出“改回 Google Search？”的提示。

F | 不过，微软会紧接着弹出第二个提示框，试图阻止用户恢复原来的设置，提示内容大意是“等等，别改回来！”，并警告用户恢复设置后将无法继续使用必应搜索和壁纸功能。

G | 完成整个设置流程后，系统还会打开 Microsoft Rewards 注册页面，而受影响浏览器的新标签页也会切换到基于 MSN 的必应主页。注意到，微软目前尚未说明未来会把这款应用放在哪里供用户自行寻找，也没有说明用户应该如何主动避开它。
