MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Singapore's prime minister stressed that Japan's neighbors should not wait for apologies "again and again."
He added that although Japan apologized for war crimes, its position on specific issues, like the Nanking massacre in China and the spread of sexual slavery, remains "less unequivocal."
Japan committed numerous rights abuses during its military intervention in China and other Asian countries in the 1930s and the World War II. The Massacre in Nanking that killed tens of thousands was committed when the Japanese army occupied the city during the Second Sino-Japanese war in 1937. In addition historians confirm that Japanese servicemen of the time frequently used captive women and girls as sex slaves.
