Japan's Osaka to snap sister city link with San Francisco over 'comfort women' statue
The mayor of Japan’s western city of Osaka plans to cut ties
with U.S. sister-city San Francisco after the latter accepted the
donation of a “comfort women” statue from a private group there.
The issue of “comfort women”, as those forced to work
in Japan’s wartime military brothels were euphemistically known, has
long embittered the ties of neighbors, such as China and South Korea,
with Japan.
