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.

Making 2023 the 10th consecutive year that the remains of the Chinese People’s Volunteers (CPV) martyrs have been returned from South Korea, 25 more martyrs and their possessions will be repatriated to China this week by Y-20 large transport aircraft escorted by J-20 stealth fighter jets. Representatives from the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan regions will be invited to attend this year’s burial ceremony, aiming to further strengthen patriotic education and foster a sense of national unity.

The Chinese Air Force’s Y-20 took off on Tuesday to pick up the 10th batch of national heroes who fought bravely in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea (1950-53).

About 3 km from the museum lies the Beidaying (Northern Grand Barracks) site that the Japanese troops bombarded. It officially reopened to visitors as an exhibition hall after renovations at the end of 2021.

Through more than 400 historical photos, over 200 relics, electronic maps, scene restorations, panoramic sand tables and other modern techniques, visitors can revisit the history at the exhibition hall.

Wang Lei, a resident of Shenyang, who lives near the former site of the Beidaying Site, said, “There were a few ordinary bungalows here, but now the site has been turned into an exhibition hall. It is very important to remember the history of the war. We should let young people know that this is the place where our national calamity occurred.”

China Commemorates 91st Anniversary of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression! (18.9.2022)

19/09/2022 Adrian (釋大道)

China resounds with the hashtag – 牢记九一八#！(#Keep in mind 918#!) – to remember the millions of Chinese people (and Allies) that were killed or maimed in China’s War Against International Fascism (which lasted between 1931-1945 and included the Second Sino-Japanese War of 1937-1945)! Imperial Japan was copying the Western model of imperialist and colonial aggression – and had invaded and occupied Northeast China in 1894-1895 (First Sino-Japanese War) and this aggressive behaviour eventually led to the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905) – a conflict between an encroaching Czarist Russia an an ever-increasingly confident (modernising) Japan! Japan ended the conflict with controlling parts of Shenyang (formerly controlled by Czarist Russia) – but decided to launch a ‘War of Aggression’ from this platform on September 18th, 1931! Ironically, it would be the Soviet Red Army that would come to the aid of the Chinese people in 1945 and ‘crush’ the occupying Japanese Forces whilst completely ‘Liberating’ Northeast China – handing the captured territory (and material resources) to the control of the Communist Party of China!
