The US Report, of 20 Korean comfort girls: “Prisoner of War, his wife and sister-in-law had made some money as restaurant keepers in KEIJO [present-day Seoul], KOREA, but their trade declining, they looked for an opportunity to make more money and applied to Army Headquarters in KEIJO for permission to take ‘comfort girls’ from KOREA to BURMA….” “Prisoner of war purchased 22 Korean girls, paying their families from 300 to 1000 yen according to the personality, looks and age of the girl. These 22 girls were of ages from 19 to 31. They became the sole property of prisoner of war and the Army made no profits from them….” “Every ‘comfort girl’ was employed on the following contract conditions. She received fifty percent of her own gross takings and was provided with free passage, free food and free medical treatment. The passage and medical treatment were provided by the Army authorities, the food was purchased by the brothel owner with the assistance of the Army supply depots. The owners made other profits by selling clothing, necessities and luxuries to the girls at exorbitant charges. When a girl is able to repay the sum of money paid to her family, plus interest, she should be provided with a free return passage to KOREA, and then considered free….”

We in the West have embraced an odd "narrative." The Japanese army of the 1930s and 1940s, we write, forcibly drafted 200,000 mostly Korean teenage girls into "rape camps" called "comfort stations." Should anyone question the story, we summarily consign the person to "denier" status.
This makes for a strange phenomenon. Only a few of the comfort women claim to have been forcibly recruited, and several of them had told a different story before the reparations campaign against Japan began. A strongly leftist affiliate runs their nursing home, controls whom they can see, and vilifies any woman who might say anything else. In fact, no one has ever located any documentary evidence that the Japanese military forcibly recruited any Korean woman into a comfort station. And when Korean academics question the orthodox account, their own government sometimes prosecutes them for criminal defamation -- indeed, sent one heterodox professor last fall to six months in prison

One of the most often repeated and most distorted myths concerning Japan’s supposed crimes against Korea, concerns the so called “comfort women”
In 1965 the Korean government of Park Chung-hee signed a treaty with Japan, normalizing the relations between the two countries. Under the treaty South Korea received very large amounts of economic aid, grants, loans and, significantly, compensation for victims of Japanese rule.
(The Japanese government paid 3 times national budget as a compensation but kept it in secret 40 years in Korea to incite hatred towards Japan and the Korea government keeps trying to hide the truth.
Although all individual claims were settled in the 1965 Japan-South Korea Treaty, the Japanese government still offered compensation several times to the Korean women as a good gesture. However, when Japan offered compensation through Asian Women's Fund in 1995 (Compensation came with a personal letter of apology from Prime Minister of Japan), South Korean NGO thre_atened former comfort women not to accept Japan's apology and the compensation. 61 of those who defied the NGO’s order were verified as traitors, their names and addresses were published in newspapers as pros**tutes, and they had to live the rest of their lives in disgrace.
Korean government signed Japan-Korea agreement on the comfort women issue in 2015 and Japanese government paid 1 billion dollars as atonement money to the former Korean comfort women.
However, The administration of Korea’s Moon Jae In abandoned the agreement in 2018 without any notification . The dissolution announcement is totally unacceptable for Japan. While the Government of the Korea, including President Moon Jae-in, repeatedly stated in public that it “will not abandon the agreement” and “will not ask for a renegotiation with Japan”)
-
The Japanese government at that time (1965) offered to compensate individual victims, but the South Korean government refused the offer and insisted that it should receive all the money and itself compensate its citizens. Very little of this money (only USD 250) was paid to individuals and instead was used for economic development of South Korea. The Japanese government has apologized for its comfort women system (which actually was an extension of the licensed prosti tution system that existed both in Korea and Japan before the war and which involved a large number of Japanese prost itutes as well as those from other countries), Germany has never apologized or paid any compensation to any former prost iutes. In fact, nobody has ever demanded any such things, since these women, which rightly or wrongly were viewed as collaborators in the occupied countries, never found any supporters or defenders”

The Fabrication and Spread of the "Comfort Women = Sex Slaves" Theory
By Fujioka Nobukatsu
Totsuka Etsuro: The author of the “sex slave” concept
The man who first proposed to the United Nations that the comfort women be referred to as “sex slaves” was the Japanese human rights lawyer Totsuka Etsuro(CCP’s lobbyist)
Totsuka brought up the term “sex slave” before the UN Commission on Human Rights, and before long UN bodies had accordingly defined the comfort women as being “sex slaves”.
The idea that the comfort women were sex slaves did not arise from the findings of any empirical investigation, nor was it conceptualized on the basis of any facts.
Totsuka said that the idea of adopting the term “sex slaves” simply popped into his mind one day.
According to Fujiki, when Totsuka was asked about how he came up with the term “sex slaves”, he said, “I had a hunch! It was intuition!” He then continued as follows:
“It’s amazing, isn’t it? I had been frequenting the United Nations for thirty-four years. During that time, I submitted over twenty motions to discuss instances of Japanese human rights violations and delivered statements on them here, but not one was taken up. And yet, in 1992, when I reframed the comfort women as being sex slaves, the UN commissioners were glued to my every word. So you see, it’s incredible, isn’t it?”

A Taiwanese eye witness testified:
"The South Korean government is telling total lies. For example, regarding the comfort women for Japan in those days, they were all volunteers.
The reason why they volunteered was the wages. At that time, the average civil servant earned about 40 yen per month. Girls in bars and taverns could earn about 50 to 60 yen. However, if they become comfort women, they could earn 200 yen per month. They could earn 4 to 5 times more than the average worker.
So naturally, lots of girls applied voluntarily because when they worked as comfort women, they could live their whole lives using these earnings.
To become a comfort woman, they took out a 2 year contract, and if they worked for 2 years, they could get enough money to live for the rest of their lives.
That’s why so many people applied voluntarily.
Some said they became military nurses and then were forced to become comfort women, but it’s a lie.
It’s a blatant lie!
At that time, going to a battleground overseas and coming back to Japan as a comfort woman meant that other people might treat you as a spy and accuse you of being a war criminal.
So, everybody forged themselves identities as nurses when they came back, which makes it a complete lie."

The US government, under the Clinton and Bush administrations, spent 7 years and 30 million dollars to look into German and Japanese war crimes.
After 7 years of research, they found no evidence of the forced prostitution of comfort women, the Nanjing.
The IWG report was published in the spring of 2007. Out of millions of pages of newly declassified material, much of it related to Japan, and they were unable to find evidence of forced prostitution. They also looked for information about the Nanjing Massacre and unit 731, but found no smoking guns. Nobody doubts that there was a massacre in Nanjing, and nobody doubts the Chinese ability to exaggerate by orders of magnitude, and then to believe their own stories.
A Chinese organization lobbied for the IWG investigation. The “Global Alliance for Preserving the History of WWII in Asia” (Global Alliance). It should be noted that Global Alliance was closely associated with Iris Chang, author of “The Rape of Nanking”.
Surprisingly, the IWG report offers an apology to Global Alliance for not finding anything.
