[국제]Chinese expert “Japanese military, Chinese women caught indiscriminately… Ramsey’s thesis is poor”

[앵커]

An expert on the comfort women issue in China criticized Professor Ramsey’s remarks, saying that the Japanese military forced Chinese women to be taken as comfort women.

At that time, there were more than a thousand comfort stations in China alone, and at least 200,000 victims were reported, and Professor Ramsey’s thesis was of poor quality.

The Chinese comfort women display center opened in Nanjing in 2015.

Professor Su Zi Liang of Shanghai Normal University, who served as the first director, is a leading comfort women expert in China.

Professor Xu stressed that the comfort women were intentionally created by the Japanese government and the military.

There are over a thousand comfort stations in China alone, confirmed through 30 years of research.

Professor Xu explains that more than 200,000 women have been affected in various parts of mainland China.

As the Japanese invaded China, women were indiscriminately taken as comfort women from various places.

[쑤즈량 / 상하이 사범대 역사학과 교수 : 중국은 전쟁터였고, 침략을 받은 국가였기 때문에 일본군이 직접 도시나 농촌에 가서 강제로 많은 사람을 붙잡아갔습니다.]

He mentioned that Northeast regions such as Liaoning and Jilin Province were not even counted as victims.

Many of the victims of comfort women brought from Joseon also said they were unable to return to their hometowns.

Professor Xu criticized Professor Ramsey’s thesis for being poor and not sure how it passed the screening.

Some Chinese media have argued that they should respond more strongly to the comfort women issue.

In the wake of the Chinese government’s official refutation last week that the comfort women of the Japanese military were a serious crime, voices of conviction are also growing in China.
