Former Taiwan President Lee Teng-hui said China and South Korea lash out at Japanese leaders over Yasukuni Shrine because they can not handle their own domestic problem. According to him, they often use Japanese-related issues as a pretext to attack domestic political rivals or as a means to distract public attention from other issues.
