REUTERS/Kim Kyung-HoonTOKYO A Japanese hotel chain at the center of a furor over books its president wrote denying the Nanjing Massacre in wartime China is prepared to consider removing the books from at least some hotels if it receives a formal written request to do so. Tokyo-based hotel and real estate developer APA Group came under fire last week for books by president Toshio Motoya, which contain his revisionist views and are placed in every room of the company`s 400-plus APA Hotels. "China says Japanese troops killed 300,000 people in Nanjing from December 1937 to January 1938.
