"Removal of the Girl Statue Near the Japanese Consulate in Hong Kong"
[Asia Economy Reporter Bu Aeri] The statue of a Japanese military comfort woman girl, which was located near the Japanese Consulate General in Hong Kong, has been removed.
According to Kyodo News on the 20th, the organization that installed the statues dismantled three of them earlier this month.
In 2017, marking the 80th anniversary of the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War, Hong Kong's anti-Japanese group Diaoyudaobo Protection Action Committee erected statues symbolizing Korean and Chinese comfort women on a pedestrian overpass near the building housing the Japanese Consulate General.
