I think that if china never made a big deal about it, yasukuni shrine would of remained just another unknown shrine. Most of the japanese people I know never even heard of yasukuni before the controversies came up, it's not very popular or well known. What gets japanese people angry is that it sees a foreign nation trying to tell it what to do, and interfering in spiritual matters that in the long run have little to do with anything. Yasukuni shrine isn't a shrine for war criminals, it's a shrine for all war dead, no matter who. That it enshrines war criminals, goes without saying as in the shinto belief system everyone who dies can become gods in their own right and lose their sins. China probably knows it can play things to it's political advantage if it 'gets angry' on the issue, and try to gain an upper hand (in the end, everything boils down to politics) in other matters. It's the same with the ex-president of taiwan visiting japan. What effect does it have on anything? But China knows it can stir up controversy for political gain by making something of an ex-president with no power at all visiting japan on his own accord.
