BEIJING -- A hotel manager and a madam who organized a mass orgyfor 300 Japanese businessmen and 400 prostitutes were jailed for lifein southern China on Wednesday.
Another hotel manager and 11 nightclub "hostesses" were sentencedto between two and 15 years for their part in the three-day party atthe Zhuhai International Conference Center hotel.
Reports of the orgy, many made by outraged hotel guests, gave riseto an outpouring of anti-Japanese venom in China, which has neverforgiven Japan for atrocities in the 1937-45 war.
The three days ended on Sept. 18, the anniversary of the 1931Mukden incident that launched Japan's attempts to colonize China.Internet chat rooms were bombarded with messages claiming it was adeliberate attempt to "rub Chinese noses in it."
The sentences, far longer than any served by those Japanese warcriminals who escaped the death penalty after the war, show theextent to which the Chinese authorities are prepared to give vent tonationalist feeling.
Chinese authorities Wednesday issued arrest warrants for threeJapanese they say were in touch beforehand to arrange the weekend.China is seeking their extradition through Interpol.
