読者の皆様にはご存知の通り、同紙の英文紙には「The Daily Yomiuri」が在り、且つWeb版(英文)では「The Japan News」(by Yomiuri Shinbun)を公開している。たとえば上述の社説も“South Korea should face up to own past regarding comfort women”(Web)と題して掲載されている。 いわば、韓国(南朝鮮)の虚構の実態についても国内の「一千万読者」のみならず、対外的にも多くの海外読者にむけて発信している。 ----------
In June this year, South Korean former comfort women for U.S. troops sued their government for compensation, saying they were forced into prostitution in the 1960s and 70s. According to a group supporting those women, the South Korean government established special red-light districts for U.S. soldiers and managed those women.
Furthermore, South Korean troops dispatched to the Vietnam War reportedly fathered from 5,000 to 30,000 children with Vietnamese women and left them behind there.
Some of the children were born after their mothers served as prostitutes or were raped. One South Korean newspaper carried a column saying, “It is self-deception to insist on a pardon for our own violence while we tenaciously pursue Japan’s moral responsibility.”
