China wanting to reconcilled with Japan?

As the controversy of the “war sex slaves” goes on, China wants the Japanese government to acknowledge that they have done something quite wrong.  China wants to continue to settle past disputes with Japan.  In doing so, Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing wants Japan to accept their past mistakes, rather than denying it.  The Chinese government wants to develop peaceful agreements with the Japanese government.  They want to continue their normalization with one another.  The two states had developed a peaceful contract with one another for roughly 35 years since the war.  With all of this going on, Taiwan also wants Japan to apologize to all the enslaved women.  The Japanese government needs to forget about all the pride that they have within themselves and confront their history. 

Apologies Wanted

During World War II, Korean and Chinese women were kidnapped and made into sex slaves for the Japanese soldiers.  An estimated 200,000 women were abducted from their homes.  Although there are many documents stating the fact that theJapanese government allowed this to happen, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is denying the whole account.  He is stating that the whole situation was made up and that those women were not forced into sex slaves, they were professional prostitutes.  Citizens in Beijing and Seoul wants a honest apologies from the Japanese and reimbursement.  In 1995, the Japanese government tried to set up a fund for the raped women, but the money did not come directly from the government, rather it was from donors.  Most women who were affected feels that the apologies from the Japanese government is not sincere.  They want them to take responsibilities for their actions. But that is difficult for them to achieve when the Prime Minister is denying the situation.  Japan needs to own up to what they have done to those women.  Many people are not proud of their history, but Japan needs to step it up, if they want respect from the rest of the world.  They need to show sincerity towards those women that has been affected.
