The Japanese government cannot avoid criticism due to its endorsement of a contentious history textbook that denies the forced conscription of Korean women to serve as sex slaves for Japanese soldiers during World War II. The textbook, infamous for its staunchly conservative stance, asserted, 'There was no forced mobilization, and they were compensated.' Furthermore, it went on to claim that the Japanese army did not transport Korean women to the war front as they did with war correspondents andnurses.
