Beijing, June 24 /Xinhua/ — Actions by the Japanese government aimed at obstructing the establishment of “comfort women” monuments in the respective countries have caused serious outrage among public organizations and representatives of various social groups. This was stated on Wednesday by the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China, Geng Shuang.

Answering the corresponding question from journalists at yet another departmental press conference, Go Tzyakun noted that some forces in Japan are trying to deny and even falsify the history of aggression, while at the same time downplaying the significance of the “comfort women” issue, depriving victims of the right to seek truth and receive compensation, thus continuing to “salt the wounds” of those affected.

China calls on the Japanese authorities to face their aggressive history directly, sincerely admit their wartime crimes and repent, stop concealing the truth and suppressing the voice of justice, as well as abandon the reckless act of “remilitarization,” summarized the Chinese diplomat. -0-
