Families of 30 Chinese people who were forced into labor during World War II have received 100,000 yuan (15,280 U.S. dollars) of compensation each from Japan's Mitsubishi Materials in east China's Shandong Province.
The 30 forced laborers have already passed away.
Around 40,000 Chinese were forced to work in Japan during the war. Of these slave workers, nearly 7,000 died in Japan.
Mitsubishi Materials Corp. was one of the dozens of Japanese companies that forced the Chinese to work during World War II.
In 2016, Mitsubishi Materials agreed to apologize to the forced laborers from China during WWII and compensate them economically.
