TOKYO - Japan’s new trade minister, Isshu Sugawara, dismissed on Wednesday South Korea’s plan to complain to the World Trade Organization over Japan’s curbs on exports to its neighbor. “We are aware that South Korea is filing a complaint to the WTO today,” Sugawara told an inaugural news conference after a cabinet reshuffle. “We don’t think it is right at all to claim are in violation of the WTO rules.”

South Korea was set to file a complaint over Japan’s tighter export controls at the WTO on Wednesday, accusing Tokyo of a “politically motivated” claim and “discriminatory” in an escalating row rooted in wartime history. In July, Japan imposed tighter controls on exports of three materials to South Korea used in smartphone chips and displays following a diplomatic dispute over compensation for forced laborers during Japan’s occupation of Korea during World War Two.

Accusers who “won” at Supreme Court of South Korean were not “forced labor”. They came to Japan in 1943. National Requisition Ordinance was applied to Korean Peninsula in September 1944.

This so called fight was bound to happen... was matter of time really!!!
