I found an interesting site about the Taiwaneese into Yasukuni.

Dear Pluge and Mutantfrog, I too had difficulty accessing those sites, but I manated to furl the reuters article.

I just read on the Japanese Kyodo news agency site (sorry couldn’t find it in English) that right wingers blocked the Taiwanese from entering the Yasukuni gates. According to Kyodo, the right wingers circled Yasukuni and the police asked the Taiwanese protesters, who had arrived on a bus, to turn around when they were about 300 meters from the shrine.

By the way, you two are doing a great job in keeping abreast of all this Yasukuni news. Thanks!

I've been reading these articles as well. Taiwanese are going to be upset. Taiwan aborigines, angry over visits by the Japanese prime minister to a shrine for war dead, demanded that their ancestors' names be removed from the sanctum, seen by Asian countries as a symbol of Tokyo's past militarism.
