By calling China irresponsible, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has once again merely demonstrated his own irresponsibility.

Abe accused China of changing the status quo in the East China and South China seas by force on Thursday, and said it was the responsibility of Japan and other countries to prompt China to grow peacefully as a responsible country.

His misleading and nonsensical remarks are nothing but a perversion of the truth, and they have shown, once again, that it is Abe and his government that have no sense of responsibility, says a Xinhua commentary.
