On Wednesday, Mitsubishi Materials Corp announced that it had agreed to pay owed wages to Chinese workers who were subjects of forced labor in the company's mines during World War Two. It is estimated that 3,765 workers or families of deceased workers will receive a formal apology from the company along with $100,000. In 2015, Mitsubishi was the first company to come out and apologize for using forced labor during World War Two. The Chinese Foreign Ministry hopes that Japan continues to take responsibility for this historical event.
