Most people believe that Japanese actually kidnapped 200,000 women which is complete bullshit it did not happen there were comfort women that's true comfort women are called Ion food in Japanese language and the brothels are called Ionjo they had them here in Thailand as well and as you may know Korea was part of Japan between 1910 and 1945 there were Korean women that were used as prostitutes during the war and it's a very sensitive issue for Koreans and Japanese both and it's a hot button issue and it sounds like what you're saying is China is using this issue to form an wedge between Korea and Japan because a weaker set of Asian allies means a stronger China relatively speaking right the Chinese created this issue which did not ever exist it really started in the 90s in 1979 Japanese author named Yoshino Seiji he wrote a book called My War Crimes he said that he kidnapped I think about 203 women on Jeju Island which is a island off the southern tip of South Korea now immediately a bunch of Korean historians and Japanese journalists went to Jeju and tried to find if this is true now remember there are no statute of limitations on war crimes so if somebody had actually kidnapped and raped women there's a lot of records it still exists they could actually go to prison Koreans and Japanese were like no it's not true it never happened and then the guy Yoshino Seiji who wrote the book My War Crimes he admitted to it he goes oh okay sorry about that I was trying to sell books you know you got to puff things up a little bit to sell books long story short it died and then it picked up again when he wrote a sequel in 1983 or so and then the Asahi Shimbun published more than 50 stories as if it's true at this point you know later they say the Japanese kidnapped all these women from Japan and the Japanese army you're like they were comfort women comfort women were quite real but the fact is now we get back to China
