Japan Not Pay For Forced Labor_资讯
tokyo's high court has denied compensation to the family of a chinese man who did forced labor for the japanese during world war ii.
the court overturned a 2001 ruling by a district court to give liu lianren 20 million japanese yen or around 180,000 us dollars in compensation.
the high court acknowledged the government's failure to protect him was wrong. but it rejected the family's demand for compensation from the state, saying there is no mutual agreement concerning state redress between japan and china.
liu's family and lawyers have protested the high court ruling, and are urging the japanese government to address the issue of chinese forced laborers.
