“아베가 악마를 숭배했다” 中 환구시보 맹비난...일본 내 반응은?
아베 신조 일본 총리가 정권 출범 1년이 되는 26일 오전 야스쿠니 신사를 참배한 것으로 전해져 논란이 일고 있다. 이에 대해 중국 인민일보의 자매지 환구시보는 “아베 총리가 악마를 숭배했다”고 맹비난했다고 서울신문이 전했다. 1기 정권 때 야스쿠니 신사 참배를 하지 않은 것을 ‘통한의 극한’이라고 말한 아베 총리는 지난해 12월 27일에 야스쿠니 신사 참배를 계획했지만, 한국과 중국 등 주변국들의 반발을 고려해 참배를 포기했다.그 대신 아베 총리는 지난 4월과 10월 제사 때 야스쿠니 신사 참배 대신 총리 명의로 공물만 봉납한 바 있다.보도에 따르면 일본 총리가 야스쿠니 신사를 참배한 것은 2006년 8월에 고이즈미 준이치로 총리가 참배한 이후 7년 4개월 만이다.중국 외교부 친강 대변인은 26일 아베 총리의 야스쿠니 신사 참배에 대해 “중일 관계 개선 및 발전에 큰 장애가 될 것”이라면서 “일본은 야스쿠니 신사 참배로 인한 나쁜 결과에 대해 모든 책임을 져야 한다”고 비난하며 항
