Here is the Japanese version of the Open Questions above.

Open Questions to PRC President Hu Jintao concerning the Nanking Incident Mr. Kase Hideaki, chairman of Committee for the Examination of the Facts about Nanking disclosed that a letter of open questions concerning the Nanking Incident had been submitted to PRC president Hu Jintao at a press conference held at Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Japan in Tokyo on May 8, 2008. The letter was written in Chinese. Japanese and English versions were also distributed at the conference (as per PDF).

On November 28, the Canadian Parliament adopted a motion relating to the comfort women controversy that grossly distorts historical fact. We must state our objections to this extraordinarily unjust motion in the strongest possible terms. Because as we have been repeatedly stating, it is not based on any historical fact. Therefore, we Society sent a letter to H. E. Ambassador Joseph Caron, explaining the "truth" and asking to make every best effort not only to know the historical fact but also to protect honor of the Canadian Parliament.

On November 20 of this year, the Dutch Parliament passed a resolution denouncing Japan for past actions in connection with the so-called comfort women. We must state our objections to this resolution in the strongest possible terms. Because as we have been repeatedly stating, it is not based on any historical fact. Therefore, we Society sent a letter to H. E. Ambassador Alphons Hamer, explaining the "truth" and asking to make every best effort not only to know the historical fact but also to protect honor of the Dutch Parliament.

On 30th July, 2007, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution (H.R. 121) demanding that the Japanese government apologize formally for having concerned so-called "comfort women" into sexual slavery. We society feel compelled to express our strongest objections to this enormously unfair resolution, which totally disregards historical facts. Therefore, we just sent out the letter to express our objection to all of the Congresspersons on 31st July.

Kase Hideaki, Chairman of our society, sent a letter to the Honorable Tom Lantos, Chairman, Committee on Foreign Affairs UNITED STATE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, regarding the House Resolution 121.
We society are strongly concerned that the Resolution, which was not based on historical fact but based on false information or fabricated stories, should be dishonor of the United States House of Representatives and Representatives themselves.
And, since the resolution requests not to raise questions/objections for the existence of "sex slaves", we also very concerned that the resolution should be denial of freedom of express. We think having been protecting/advocating the freedom of express is one of the greatest contributions of the United States to the world and human history. Therefore, we strongly concern that the Resolution could bury such glorious achievement s/contribution by themselves.

Hideaki, Chairman of our society, sent Six Open Questions to Wen Jiabao, Prime Minister of the People’s Republic of China, related to Nanking, in Japanese, Chinese, and English. We are uploading the English version here, as the PDF file.
