‘Comfort women’ statue in Georgia latest to irk Japan

The Japan times
‘Comfort women’ statue in Georgia latest to irk Japan (article)
Summary
First, I want to say sorry to my teacher because I have chosen unfun articles from in the morning. It must make her day bored.
However, I think that I should read such an article because I am Japanese, I study English and l want to express my opinion that mightn't be right. Japanese people, now, think only about the election held last Sunday. Almost all of the news announced recently is about results of the election, but half of the people didn't go there.
They who built a statue probably knew the day when the election which draws Japanese people attention into.
According to the article, last Friday, June 30, 2017, at the City of Brookhaven, Georgia, the United State, a statue called ‘comfort women’ was built. It’s controversial, there is no evidence that the military sexually enslaved the women before and during World War Ⅱ, and its city has another human trafficking issue. All of these issues are written in this article though this is true that the statue has been built. Furthermore, this was not the first one to be built in America. Shockingly, especially for Japanese people, there are 40 statues in South Korea, one in Okinawa and nine in the U.S.
This is the problem for Japan to want to solve as soon as possible, but for South Korea to continue to have the issue forever. Even they will receive Japanese apologies and money, the number of statues won't be decreasing but will be increasing. People probably know that by building it, and raising the awareness of ongoing problems don't lead to solving or analyzing the problem well. Japan doesn't change the problem. Japan suggests the way that both countries, South Korea and Japan could get close.
