'PM' Takaichi and Forced Labor

Japan's first female PM (technically a bit premature to refer to her as PM, as her coalition lacks enough votes to secure a parliamentary majority- she's head of the largest bloc in government, more accurately) has named Aso Taro her deputy. His family operated mines in Japan during WW2. While Japanese youths were dying (and committing war crimes overseas- Bataan, Nanking, etc.), labor-starved Japan impressed what was left: women, children, and POWs. Enriching the deputy party boss's family.
