During his recent week-long tour in the United States, Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe was met with a slew of anti-Japanese protests—many of which were organized by a known associate of the Chinese regime.
Abe was in the United States from April 26 to May 3 to hold talks on economic and security issues, as well as mark the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II. His trip included stops at Washington D.C., Boston, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
At every destination on Abe’s itinerary, the Japanese prime minister was met with Chinese and Korean protesters, who pressed him to apologize for Japan’s wartime legacy and contemporary issues.
When Abe was at Harvard University in Boston, students held an hour-long silent demonstration, and read an open letter protesting Abe government’s “direct role in operating a system of sexual slavery during World War II,” according to Harvard student newspaper The Harvard Crimson.
