Moon Administration Will Reportedly Scrap Comfort Women Agreement with Japan
|It looks like the Moon administration is about to scrap an agreement made with the Japanese to settle the comfort women issue:
The South Korean government is expected to announce a decision this week to dismantle a controversial foundation related to Japan’s wartime sexual enslavement of Korean women, an official said Tuesday.
The planned shutdown of the Reconciliation and Healing Foundation, funded by Japan, is seen as Seoul’s move to effectively discard a 2015 accord between the neighboring countries on the “comfort women” issue.
Many Korean women were forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese military during World War II. Some historians put the number at as many as 200,000. Korea was under Japan’s brutal colonization from 1910-45.
In late 2015, the then-Park Geun-hye administration signed the agreement to resolve the history issue. They launched the foundation, intended to help the victims and their families, the following year. Japan offered 1 billion yen (US$8.9 million). [Yonhap]
You can read more at the link, but as usual the South Korean is more than willing to scrap agreements and demonize the Japanese who have been nothing but great neighbors to the ROK since Imperial Japan’s destruction during World War II.
Meanwhile the Korean left continues to suck up to the Kim regime in North Korea that nearly destroyed the ROK during the Korean War and has launched numerous deadly attacks and provocations since then.
Leftists derive their power through creating social termoil, manufacturing inequality, promoting envy, and insuring a perpetual outrage and disorder.
