Passage: Japanese prisoner-of-war camps, many of which were used as labour camps, also had high death rates. The International Military Tribunal for the Far East found the death rate of Western prisoners was 27.1 per cent , seven times that of POWs under the Germans and Italians. While 37,583 prisoners from the UK, 28,500 from the Netherlands, and 14,473 from the United States were released after the surrender of Japan, the number of Chinese released was only 56. At least five million Chinese civilians from northern China and Manchukuo were enslaved between 1935 and 1941 by the East Asia Development Board, or Kōain, for work in mines and war industries. After 1942, the number reached 10 million. In Java, between 4 and 10 million rōmusha , were forced to work by the Japanese military. About 270,000 of these Javanese labourers were sent to other Japanese-held areas in South East Asia, and only 52,000 were repatriated to Java.

How many of the 270,000 Javanese laborers were not repatriated? How many of the 270000 were not repatriated? How many prisoners all together were released after the  surrender of Japan? How many times higher was the death rates of the western prisoners? How many years did the East Asia Development board enslave five million Chinese civilians? How many years spanned from the enslavement of the China and Manchukuo? Where were the slaves forced to work? Which Asian countries were people enslaved after Japan surrendered? Which countries had over 20,000 prisoners released?
