Japan’s Mitsubishi denies reports on offering apology to Chinese wartime laborers

Japan’s Mitsubishi Materials issued a statement on Friday, denying Japanese media reports that it would offer apology and compensation to Chinese forced laborers it used during WWII.

“We haven’t released any plans concerning the reconciliation with Chinese wartime laborers,” Mitsubishi Materials said on its website. “Discussions about relative issues are underway, and we will notice everyone once the final decision is reached.”

Japan’s Kyodo News reported earlier on Friday that the company will apologize to the 3,765 Chinese nationals it used as forced laborers in wartime, and will pay a compensation of 2 million yen (around 16,000 US dollars) for each victim.

This came after the company made an apology for using American prisoners of war for forced labor during WWII, which is believed to be the first such apology by a Japanese company. Chinese and Korean POWs have not received an apology from any Japanese company thus far.

70 years has passed
How many of the survivors are still living and healthy to walk and to pursue on with the legal claims?
How many countries have the guts to claim against the Japanese?
The Japanese are damn scared to open up the floodgate of monetary compensations and to admit to the People of the world of imperial Japanese war crime and atrocities
So they delay and delay until all the poor people who suffered demise and the tragic history of their creation be forgotten

Who says anything about 'forgotten'?

If anything, awareness of Japanese brutality is much more entrenched and emphasized these days.

The day the Chinese people forget and let the horrors of war repeat itself, the entire country deserves to collapse.

Even all survivor pass away one day, the war will not forgetten, it is recored by history, all Chinese know the history, maybe Japanese forget, or they want forget.

Not other country don't have gut, but, whether they want, or they think the damage on them is small, or nothing.

German admit their war crime, kneel on the ground in front of the victim, they get forgive, delay can't let people forget the hurt, can't make people think Japanese are killer in the furture, just make Japanese more uglier, they want the world forget its crime, just a big dream.

Japanese thinkg model is very special, all these will make Japan not worse, but also not best, I hope Japan can keep on the way, it can't hurt other, at the end, their race will suffer from this, who know how long they can go, hehe.

If Japan one day truly repents, it can still seek forgiveness from the relatives of the victims. The question is, will it really repent.

Japan shouldn't apologize at all for WWII and invasion of China, so we don't have to apologize when China turn it into a smouldering ruin later.

The apology is always ask, the apology always given. Can understand how many times apology given ? I think time for apologizing is over.

As I said , Japan never feels guilty for colonization Korea or WW2.

Mitsubishi said Korea belonged to Japan during WW2 and it was their duty to do the work of coolies. Nooooooooooooo apology!

Sound like west Germany and east Germany situation !

Allies nations owe Japan a apology for dividing Japan into two nations like Germany

Interesting, though. Has not Mitsubishi apologized to the US POWs it used as a forced labor?

Why is the hypocrisy?

Japanese will talk their modernization of Korea with you!

That's typical colonialist argument. It would only be a pity if one wanted to whitewash past crimes through such Eurocentric argument. I do not wish to see Japan to act as the Orientalist of the Orient.

Come on Man! Your expectation is too high.

Their prime minister graduated from the school of sophism.

You can not image how.genius his answer is when he was asked whether or not he recognizes "the potsdam proclamation " by one senator.

Abe: The Potsdam Proclamation is the way how Japan ended the war !!

Really brilliant answer.

Don't apologize, and don't ask for one in the future.

We want money on civil ligations and proper historical accounts of ww2 Imperial Japanese
Hypopritical "apology" can fool nobody but the Americans and the other Asian cowards
