Japan PM urges UN to drop WWII enemy clause, risking China friction
Original: Japan PM's call at U.N. for cutting WWII "enemy" clause may roil China ties
Japan's prime minister has called at the United Nations for removing the WWII-era 'enemy state' clause from the UN Charter, a provision dating from Japan's wartime role that still names it in the charter. Kyodo News reports the push could inflame tensions with China, which remains sensitive to Japan's handling of its wartime past.
Why now: The proposal touches unresolved WWII history and could worsen already strained Japan-China relations.
