  BEIJING, Oct. 3 (Xinhuanet) -- The Chinese government has outlined demands that the Japanese government abide by a Japanese court's verdict on abandoned chemical weapons that harmed Chinese victims, said Foreign Ministry spokesman Kong Quan on Friday.

  "It is an unarguable fact that the chemical weapons abandoned by Japan have caused tremendous injuries to Chinese people, and we demand the Japanese government treat seriously this solemn and just verdict," said Kong.

  The Tokyo District Court on Monday ruled that compensation be paid to Chinese nationals for damage caused to their health by chemical weapons left in China by Japanese invading troops during World War II.

  The Japanese government refused to accept the verdict and appealed on October 3. Enditem
