China goads Japan for quick action on sex slaves

Beijing -China said on Friday that Japan should offer an appropriate resolution to the plight of eight Chinese victims forced into serving as "comfort women" for Japanese soldiers during World War II.

Forcing women to be sex slaves or "comfort women" was a crime Japanese committed against several countries they invaded during the war - including China.

China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Qin Gang called the women's treatment at the hands of Japanese forces a serious, historical crime against humanity.
