TOKYO — Japan’s biggest newspaper, the Yomiuri Shimbun, has apologized to
its readers for using the term “sex slaves” and “other inappropriate
expressions” to describe the women forced to work in Japanese military
brothels during World War II.
The conservative paper instead used the more euphemistic term “comfort
women” in its apology.
The move — which one analyst described as “astonishing” — comes amid a
broader movement in Japan, led by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, to reassess
Japan’s wartime history and cast it in a better light. It is certain to
inflame already-rocky relations with South Korea and China, where most of
the women came from. |
