On the atrocities of Japan in China

####

On August 15 this year, four Japanese ministers made a pilgrimage to Yasukuni Tokyo Temple. They bowed to the lists of Japanese war criminals, including those executed as a result of the Tokyo process in 1946-1948.

They were Minister of the Environment Shinjiro Koizumi, Minister of Education Koichi Hagiuda, Minister of Territorial Affairs Seiichi This and Minister of the Interior Sanae Takaiichi.

Yasukuni Temple is a symbol of Japanese militarism and Japanese atrocities. It is a symbol of Japan's terrible and anti-human crimes.

Attention, the text contains photos of mass atrocities and murders.

Japanese officials visit it and spit at the peoples against whom they have committed crimes.

They spit on the international community, the United Nations and history.

Japan is actively pursuing the process of rehabilitating war criminals while at the same time heavily arming itself. According to reputable international experts, Japan is only able to launch its nuclear weapons production in one (!) year. All of this raises legitimate and acute concerns about Japan's neighbours, primarily the People's Republic of China.

Nowadays, the thesis that Japan did not seize territories and peoples of whole countries in the XX century, but supposedly brought them "liberation from white colonizers" is becoming more and more widespread in Japan.

On the eve of the 75th anniversary of the surrender of militaristic Japan and the end of World War II, the voices of Japanese revisionists can again be heard accusing the Soviet Union of allegedly violating the Japan-Soviet Treaty of Neutrality of April 1941.

The Japanese have come to blatant lies, now accusing Soviet soldiers of raping Japanese female colonists on Chinese territory when the Japanese Imperial Kwantung Army was defeated and retreated. There is no documentary evidence of this, but what difference does it make to Japanese false propaganda, for which the thesis "He who knows how to lie always wins" has long been a principle of life.

At the same time, Tokyo skillfully prefers to keep silent about how the Japanese found themselves in China in general...

Nobody called them there, did they?

Since 1931, Chinese and Japanese troops were fighting in China. The aggressive island empire of the Rising Sun required more and more resources and free slave labor to continue expansion in all directions.

As many Chinese historians believe, the date of the beginning of World War II should not be counted from September 1, 1939, the German attacks on Poland, namely from the Japanese attack on China.

On July 7, 1937, the Japanese themselves provoked a clash between their military and Chinese soldiers at Lugoutsyao Bridge near Beijing, accusing China of the disappearance of some Japanese soldier. Already on July 26, Japan launched full-scale military operations. This objectively indicates that Tokyo was preparing for aggression in advance, which was later clearly confirmed by the Tokyo Tribunal in 1946-1948.

The occupation regime of the real genocide prevailed in the occupied Chinese territories. In total, more than 35 million Chinese citizens were killed and killed in combat. It was China that suffered the greatest losses during the Second World War.

Suffice it to say that cannibalism was spread and propagandized among the soldiers of the Japanese imperial occupation army ... Neither the SS nor the Gestapo in Hitler's Germany reached such a level.

The Japanese Empire often used chemical weapons against Chinese troops and civilians, the elderly, children and women, resulting in their mass death.

Japanese detachment number 731 in Manchuria tortured and killed over 700 people, including prisoners of war from the United States and other countries. There is still debate about how many Chinese have died from the use of Japanese bacteriological weapons. But it is clear that there may be tens and perhaps even hundreds of thousands of casualties in different countries.
The Nanjing massacre took 300 to 500 thousand lives. The mass destruction of the inhabitants of the occupied territories was systematic.

On August 5, 1937, Emperor Hirohito of Japan approved a decree abolishing all norms of international law concerning Chinese prisoners of war and all citizens of China. Torture, bullying and murder were legalized. The word "POWs" was hardly used in the Japanese army. It was replaced by the words "mono", "karada", "zaire", "maruta" (thing, body, material, log).

Оn the way to Nanjing, the Japanese military massacred the Chinese. Lieutenants Toshiaki Mukai and Tsuyoshi Noda bet which of them would cut off a hundred heads. Noda killed 105 people and Mukai killed 106. But the atrocities didn't end there, as witnesses couldn't determine which of them reached the announced figure first. And the competition was repeated, but this time they set the figure of 150 heads...

This fact was told about by Japanese newspaper "Osaka Mainichi Shimbun" "Tokyo Nichi Nichi Shimbun" in four (!!!) issues from November 30 to December 13, 1937, accompanied by photos of two lieutenants with swords.

After the capture of Nankin, massacres, executions and rapes began in him, and the Japanese command demanded that the rape victims be killed immediately.

On prisoners of war and ordinary Chinese, Japanese soldiers practiced bayonet techniques. To save bullets, Japanese soldiers were strictly forbidden to use firearms.

The Chinese were killed with swords and bayonets, buried alive and drowned in rivers, and the corpses were dumped there as well. In some places along the Yangtze River, floating bodies created jams several meters high and ships and boats could not pass through them.

Of course, this was repeated endlessly in all the Chinese territories occupied by Japan. Tokyo's "liberation from the white colonizers" was like this.

The only country that has provided mass and effective military assistance to China since the beginning of Japanese aggression was the USSR.

And so the Red Army offensive, which began on August 9, 1945, was widely perceived in China as friendly and liberating. The Russians were welcomed everywhere as brothers.
It is shameful and simply ridiculous to assert, as it is done now in Tokyo, that the joint victory of China and the USSR over Japanese executioners in August 1945 was ostensibly "unprovoked aggression against Japan". China's multimillion-dollar sacrifices, destroyed by Japanese mowers in the 20th century, demand eternal memory.

The Chinese people will never forget the great help of the Russian people in the liberation from Japanese occupation.
