The Chinese were just too passive.
Most of you probably have at least some idea about the Rape of Nanking (1937) and the Japanese war atrocities committed against the Chinese. Admittedly, I wasn't real familiar with Shiro Ishii and Unit 731. Unit 731 was basically a chemical and biological weapons research facility which experimented on living human beings (mostly POWs). The head of this operation--Ishii--puts Josef Mengele to shame.
Just a slew of diabolical experiments and procedures that seem like they're out of a horror movie. The video below is crap, but it sheds some background on it. There's some NSFW images, but they aren't directly related to Unit 731.
There's also a movie out about it called Philosophy of a Knife (available for stream), but it's too ing schizo to sit through. Pretty graphic though.
The Japs were some crazy bas s.
the stuff was so bad the lady that wrote to book about it committed suicide while working on the 2nd. or maybe she was messed up in the head
Maybe the book sucked that bad.
RIP and the Japaense try to gloss over this period of their history as well. Just google "Japanese textbook controversy"Eff you dolphins.
Yeah, it is very hard to read/look at. I actually meet the author Iris Chang at a book signing in Austin, and got a signed copy of her book, Rape of Nanking.
The right-wingers in that country pretend like it didn't happen and don't want it taught in their history books.
Consequently, most modern Japanese have little to no idea about what their country did in WW2, and when it is pointed out to them are horrified.
Japan never really owed up to its actions in WW2 like the Germans did.
There are still areas of China where people still die today from the biological weapons used by the Japs in that war, by the way, and all of this still colors relations between the two countries.
I can't say as I blame the Chinese for their dislike.
they brought it upon themselves, not the population...im talkin about the govt, fck them
What about that time God flooded the Earth and killed everyone except that one white family? (I know they were white, I've seen the pics)
Japan never really owned up to their WWII atrocities, but they did get a couple of their cities crispy-fried.
Japan definitely deserved the a-bombs, no question about it.
Man.....now I gotta go play with kittens and find some cotton candy.
I'm sure the U.S. is in no rush to make them cop to their war crimes either, since they allowed Ishii and his asscociates to go scot-free in exchange for the research he did in Unit 731. The research ended up being useless. C'est la vie
I do bring up Unit 731 to anybody who goes on some bleeding-heart rant about Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Things are never quite as cut and dried, black and white as some people like to think.
Even the USA has some skeletons in the closet.
It's not torture if Alberto Gonzalez and John Yoo say it's not torture.
this makes me crofl everytime i watch it
lol japan
So nuclear terrorism on 100s of 1000s of non-Christian, non-white Jap civilians keeps America from being better than the Japs?
And who appointed USA executioner of Japanese CIVILIANS for Jap MILITARY crimes against Chinese?
Boutons, regulatin'.
check out Men Behind The Sun. It shows video of tortures. One sick one is they make a chinese lady stand out in the freezing cold with bare hands for hours. Her hands are completely frozen, then they bring her in. Give her a glass of hot tea and then dip her hands in boiling water. Camera zooms in to the lady's face as she widens her eyes looking at her hands.
Talk about bare bones.

but no worries. Ipman kicked those jap soldiers asses then he went on to train Bruce Lee.
Watched the vid. While I do not doubt the validity of the claims, I cannot get ove rhow poorly done the do entary is. There are high school funded docs done with more professionalism and integrity.
I mean, did it really need all those movie screams every couple of minutes?
The atrocity of the events did not need any further dramatic effect, they truly speak for themselves.
Yeah, DR. After a while I just listened to it because the images were a bit over the top. The ones that had no relevance to the story at all.
Sooo, the first Suggested Video for this video was one called Rape Club - Japan. Watched that one too. Again, another terrible (and short) do entary, but also goes to the heart of women's role in Japanese culture.
Basically, some group of blue-bloods at Japan's most prestigious school (think Harvard, Yale, Princeton) got together and thought it would be cool to rape women for fun. They'd throw a cool party (by Japanese standards, anyway....whatever), invite chicks to some VIP after-party, target one poor sole for some good ol' fashion gang raping in the bathroom that would last hours. Again, these guys are all blue-bloods, monied up, so they'd intimidate the victims into not going to the authorities with basic threats of violence.
But the one thing that stuck out to me that seems unique to Asia, the Middle East and Africa is the threat of shame. They'd take pictures and threaten to release them to the public, as if this is some kind of actual deterrent, and apparently, it is for Japanese women. Strange to me.
Anyway, the do entary sucked because they would do interviews with Japanese speaking people and not dub over a translation. Which is beyond ing stupid, but again, whatever.
The most curious discovery was the plethora of manga dedicated to sexual assault. Particularly, a "superhero" named (wait for it....) Rapeman. Yes, your local sexual predator may not be a twisted psychotic worthy only of pain and death, he's probably just a school teacher by day that pays attention to all the young women who break a young man's heart and decides to teach them a lesson by breaking into their house and raping them.
Of course, the women love this and more often than not, fall in love with their new hero, Rapeman.
It then looked like they interviewed a person related to the Rapeman manga (probably creator), but again, the stupid do entary doesnt translate their interviews.
Go Japan!
They'd rape a shoe?!
