China has submitted applications to UNESCO to preserve the archives that prove the suffering of "comfort women" and make it part of the UN body's Memory of the World program.
The application follows recent comments by leading Japanese politicians and academics casting doubt on the plight of the comfort women.
The Japanese Imperial Army had a policy of forcing women captured in occupied lands to work as sex slaves in military brothels.
