Former Taiwanese president Lee Teng-hui likes to portray himself as a staunch patriot fighting for the rights of the Taiwanese people against the big bully, China. Today he showed his real face, not as a patriot at all, not as a Chinese, not even as a Taiwanese, but as an agent of war-time Japanese imperialism.
His elder brother actually died in 1945 fighting in the service of the Japanese emperor. Now, more than 60 years later, Lee Teng-hui traveled to Tokyo to pray at the Yasukuni Shrine, where 2.5 million war dead are honored, including 14 convicted top war criminals and hundreds of thousands of Japanese imperial troops. The dead are not just “remembered”, they are considered to be deities who died in the service of the Japanese Empire. (CNN: Taiwan's Lee visits Tokyo's Yasukuni war shrine)
China and South Korea rightly complain when the Japanese prime minister visits the shrine. Current PM Shinzo Abe has not dared to visit yet since assuming office so as not to derail Sino-Japanese relations.
Now, here comes the Taiwanese traitor Lee Teng-hui praying at the same shrine... Over the years, the Chinese government has used several rather unflattering words to describe Lee. By visiting Yasukuni, he proved beyond any doubt that the Chinese government was right.
Lee said the visit was a “private, family event”. Being a traitor can never be “private”.

I'm really surprised that a president of Republic of China (Taiwan), especially as one from KMT would do such a thing. Is Lee Teng Hui actually a spy from the Japanese, here to deal damage to to Chinese people?
It just doesn't make any sense how anyone can be so shameless.
His actions is something that all Chinese should be ashamed => go and be a Japanese instead if you like them so much.
