China: Remembering the Imperial Japanese “Mukden Concentration Camp” [Auschwitz of the East]! (4.12.2025)

I was talking with an academic collegaue in North-East China who asked me to research Russian language sources covering the Imperial Japanese POW Camp established at Mukden. Below is some basic data – but I know Red Aemy soldiers were dissected alive and used in all kinds of experiments. These Allied POWs were transferred to the Japanese after being captured by the Nazi Germans in the USSR between 1941-1944 (the Soviet Red Army liberated the area during late 1945). After the war – we in the UK were not told about this war crime – despite the USSR being our loyal Ally. Japan got away with it due to the US colonising a defeated Japan and using it a fascistic bulwark against a Socialist China. This is where prisoners from all backgrounds – the Chinese suffered terribly – were “Reversed Punched” [Gyaku Zuki] to death (by Japanese Karate practitioners) – whilst tied to posts. As a means to side-line Chinese culture in the West – the US then spread Karate all over Europe and the Americas – as if it were a good thing.

Soviet Red Army Liberated Korea in 1945!

The Japanese imperialists inflicted tyranny and violence unprecedented in human history in an attempt to stamp out even the soul and spirit of Korea, but they could not break its people’s steadfast spirit for independence; the patriotic anti-Japanese struggle of the people to win back their national sovereignty at the cost of their lives did not stop even a moment.

The armed struggle of their fine sons and daughters against the militarist Japan that emerged as a power in Asia was a death-defying, bloody resistance they fought shouldering the destiny of their country and their descendants and overcoming severe ordeals and painful sacrifices; and the anti-Japanese revolutionary feats they performed from the consistent independent stand are clear proof of the course the Korean people pioneered to achieve independence by their own efforts.

It is in no way an accidental event in the course of history, but the victory won by the all-people anti-Japanese forces that fought unto death in the spirit of independence. Herein lies the revolutionary character and political importance of our cause of liberation.

Philippines: Women & Girls Remember Crimes of Japanese Fascism! (16.8.2025)

The greater percentage of this crime occurred within China – but involved many other ethnic groups as victims – including the Filipinos. Although a statue was raised in Manilla in 2017 to record their suffering – just four-months later – the Japanese government succeeded in cajoling the Philippines Authorities in removing it! Whether Trump ordered this first time around is open to speculation. For Socialists, WWII was a People’s War against the common enemy of fascism. WWII was not the usual bourgeois excess of one competing nationality against another – although for many – this is exactly how it is remembered. Indeed, many of the victorious nations have taken on a vitriolic attitude of blatant nationalism when it comes to remembering WWII – a nationalism that steers very near to the wind of fascism that was purportedly defeated. A People’s War led to a People’s Victory and not one nationalist group over another. The US and its lackeys often sully the remembrance of this war. It was a victory of the International Working Class over the forces of reaction – against capitalism in decline!

Imperial Japan Germ War-Fare Unit 1644

China: Memorial Hall of Victims Obtains “Roster” of Japanese Germ-Warfare Unit 1644! (14.6.2025)

“The roster reaffirms the ironclad evidence of Japanese militarism’s biological warfare crimes,” Zhou added. “We will deepen archival research and integrate these materials into exhibitions and historical education to speak with facts, uphold a correct perspective on WWII history, and defend justice and peace.”

Lyu Jing, associate professor of history at Nanjing University, noted that the roster enables “systematic research on the unit and uncovering the structure of Japan’s germ-warfare system,” adding that preserved Unit 1644 sites could “advance heritage protection and promote public memory reconstruction and peace education.”

The acquisition followed Japan’s National Archives’ first public display of the rosters of Unit 1644, Unit 8604, and Unit 8609 on May 14. During the invasion of China, the Japanese military established several biological warfare units to launch attacks, among which was the notorious Unit 731 in northeast China.

Japanese Militarism Urged On By NATO!

DPRK: Japan’s Independent “NATO” Mission – Dangerous Act of Instability! (26.1.2025)

Japan is getting frantic with the bulk purchase of long-range strike means including U.S.-made air-to-air missiles and Tomahawk cruise missiles by legalizing the possession of capability for making a preemptive attack and redoubling military spending. It is also getting hell-bent on securing the war camp by drawing NATO into the Asia-Pacific region. This is a critical development of the situation.

All facts clearly prove once again that Japan, a war criminal state, is an anti-peace force threatening the Asia-Pacific region and the rest of the world through its admission to aggressive military blocs, undisguised arms buildup and ceaseless war drills.

The tightened nexus between Japan, the root cause of the region which is sharpening a sword for revenge, while totally denying the past history of aggression crimes till now, 80 years after its defeat, and NATO, which is triggering off a war and armed conflict in different parts of the world under reckless expansionist policy, is a serious threat to international peace and security.

New Evidence - Unit 731!

The document also recorded that four members aged 15 to 21 were sent to a Harbin-based medical university in the puppet “Manchukuo” for three years of “medical training” as military family students.”This is key information showing the joint training of young soldiers by the Japanese military, government and medical institutions, and once again proves that the implementation of human experiments and germ warfare was a top-down, organized, premeditated, and systematic group crime of Japanese militarism,” said Jin Chengmin, curator of the exhibition hall.Unit 731 was a top-secret biological and chemical warfare research base established in Harbin as the nerve center for Japanese biological warfare in China and Southeast Asia during World War II.At least 3,000 people were used in human experiments by Unit 731, while more than 300,000 people in China were killed by Japan’s biological weapons.
