("At the height of the Cold War in Asia, about 100,000 Taiwanese soldiers
were stationed on Kinmen, with 11 officially sanctioned brothels catering
for their needs")
My comment:
(a) Special Tea House Museum 特約茶室展示館 (the brothel used to be called
特約茶室.
(b) Military brothels were boarded up after then Legislator 立法委員 Chen
Shui-bian fought against them.
(c) Two Chinese-language reports:

Why 831? It is unclear (I googled and could not find an answer).
(d) See, people in Taiwan to this day have not condemned the practice as
they should.
No doubt, we Taiwanese are not in a position to judge Japan's 慰安婦 system.
