BBC: Japan recalls Korean envoy over 'comfort women' statue

Don t know about japanese , but the statue is kinda scary !
Maybe the statue should come down after the Hiroshima memorial comes down.
I think the Chinese need one too.
Maybe the stature could be a Chinese baby at the end of a Japanese next to the elderly man who was beheaded next to the raped tweens
