Why Are Brands Cutting Ties With Him
China’s Association of Performing Art on Sunday (August 15) called for a boycott of Chinese actor, Zhang Zhehan (World of Honor) after photos of him at Japan’s controversial Yasukuni Shine taken in 2018 and 2019 circulated online and sparked outrage among Chinese netizens and media.
The Yasukuni Shrine is seen by Japan’s neighbouring countries as a symbol of that country’s past militarism and remains a flashpoint for tension with China. The shrine also honours Japan’s war dead, including 14 World War II leaders convicted by an Allied tribunal as war criminals.
