In response to Katsuto Momii’s remarks, Chinese Foreign Ministry¹ says forcing women to become sex slaves was a crime Japan committed during its wartime aggression². It caused great suffering, which survivors³ are living with to this day. China is urging Japan to respect the reality of history and seek atonement for the harm they caused the women who were brutally⁴ abused.

“These remarks come from a force in Japan that insists on downplaying Japan’s military aggression. It coincides with the actions of Japanese leaders who are intent on revising history. We urge Japan to face the facts of history, to respect human rights and develop a stronger moral conscience. They must face up to the crimes against humanity that were committed during Japan’s wartime aggression, and correctly handle historic issues that have not been dealt with properly. Only through concrete action will Japan regain⁵ the trust for their Asian neighbors,” said Qin Gang, spokesperson of Chinese Foreign Ministry.
