"History is history"

No one can change a bit of it. Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe called wartime "comfort women" victims of "human trafficking" in a question-and-answer session after addressing Harvard University in Boston, Massachusetts, on April 27.

His evasion of the politically heated issue and sticking to the an unapologetic attitude have aroused an uproar among international media.

"It is ridiculous that Abe called Japan's antihuman crime 'local prostitution trade'. If this can be tolerated, what cannot be?", said Yang, who was furious at Japan's right wing's comment on comfort women issue.

Abe, like his predecessor, has always denied been denying that the Japanese government or the military forcibly or directly forced pushed women into sexual slavery.

"History is history. No one can change a bit of it," said Yang.
