Beijing Says Leaders of Japan and China Will Not Meet at APEC

China's Foreign Ministry says President Hu Jintao and Japanese Prime
Minister Junichiro Koizumi will not meet on the sidelines of the APEC
summit. The ministry said Tuesday that the atmosphere was not right for
a meeting between the two leaders. Prime Minister Koizumi sparked angry
protests from China last month when he visited the Yasukuni Shrine,
which honors Japan's war dead, including war criminals.

Speaking in South Korea today, Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing
likened Mr. Koizumi's shrine visits to a hypothetical scenario in which
Germans would pay homage to Nazi war criminals. Li said that just as
that scenario might offend European people, the Japanese leader should
stop doing things that harm relations with Asian countries.

Critics say the shrine glorifies Japan's militaristic past, but Koizumi
says he visits the shrine to pray for peace.
中国外交部星期二表示，中国国家主席胡锦涛和日本首相小泉纯一郎在亚太经合
会首脑会议期间会面。中国外交部星期二说，两位领导人会面的大气候还不存在
。小泉首相上个月参拜了供奉包括战犯在内的日本战争死者灵位的靖国神社，引
起了中国的愤怒抗议。
中国外交部长李肇星星期二在韩国讲话时，把小泉参拜靖国神社和德国人朝拜纳
粹战争罪犯的假设相提并论。李肇星说，那样的行动同样会激怒欧洲人，因此日
本领导人应当停止做有损和亚洲其他国家关系的事。
批评人士说，靖国神社美化日本军国主义的历史，但是小泉说，他参拜靖国神社
是为了祈祷和平。
