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.

Western POWs Were Also Victims of Japanese Imperialism!

China: Lurch to Right Paints Japan as “Victim” of WWII! (17.8.2025)

Earlier this month, Hiroshima and Nagasaki held their annual atomic bombing commemorations. From Ishiba to local officials and citizens, speeches focused overwhelmingly on Japan’s suffering under nuclear attack, with little mention of Japan’s wartime aggression abroad. In Nagasaki, residents interviewed stressed the horrors of the bombings but rarely acknowledged Japan’s role as an aggressor.

The emphasis has shifted public perception. An NHK poll found only 35 percent of Japanese now see the war as one of aggression, compared with 52 percent in a 1994 survey.

In contrast, 67 percent of respondents said they “still cannot forgive” the atomic bombings, up 18 percentage points from a decade ago.

Flowers for Hu Youping!

China: Hu Youping [胡友平] is NOT a “Traitor” – But Rather a “Local Hero” & “National Martyr”! (28.6.2024)

Strictly speaking, no citizen should be subjected to online violence, and any citizen subjected to online violence should be protected by law. However, it is undeniable that compared with ordinary citizens, Martyrs and their families enjoy a more suitable legal protection. If Hu Youping is rated as a “Martyr”, her memory will be protected by the “Heroes and Martyrs Law”. Those online violence behaviours that distort, vilify, blaspheme, and deny Hu Youping’s deeds and chivalrous spirit will be deemed as violating the law. If such behaviour constitute a crime, then the perpetuators will be held criminally responsible – in accordance with the law.

In addition, according to the “Martyrs Commendation Regulations”, the standard for Martyr Commendation Compensation is 30 times the per capita disposable income of urban residents in the previous year – when the Martyr died. In addition to enjoying the Martyr Commendation Compensation, the Martyrs’ families who fall within the scope of the “Work Injury Insurance Regulations” and related regulations also enjoy a one-time work-related Death Allowance and a Special Allowance for Martyrs’ families equivalent to 40 months’ salary of the Martyr concerned. In addition, the Martyrs’ families also enjoy preferential treatment in medical care, education, employment, housing and other aspects.

The Brutality of Imperial Japan!

Imperial Japanese Brutality as Ritual – ‘Misogi’ [禊] & ‘Harae’ [祓] During WWII! (25.2.2024)

At the same time, the US turned an Occupied Japan into a fascist, liberal democratic (capitalist) state that exists to spread race-hate toward North Korea and China! Perhaps the greatest irony involves the fact that the martial-related rituals that facilitated this Imperial Japanese madness, within ten-years of the end of WWII, saw Westerners in their hundreds and thousands voluntarily flocking to done the ‘White’ Gi (not realising that ‘White’ in Japan is the colour of both ‘death’ and ‘mourning’) and participate in the bare-footed practice of the (unfaniliar) very Japanese martial arts that had just been used to kill and maim millions throughout Asia between 1931-1945. The US demanded the spread of Japanese martial arts throughout the West in an effort to ‘hide’ and ‘obscure’ the martial arts of the Chinese people who were our allies during WWII – and who have been our peaceful neighbours for centuries!

Indian Victims of Japanese FGascism!

The Historical Materialism of ‘Empire of the Sun’! (23.2.2024)

When the captured Westerners – who had lived the most opulent of lives within a starving China – were placed in austere Prisoner of War Camps, their pretences to physical and spiritual superiority came crashing down after a week on half-rations. Belief in a Christian God meant absolutely nothing – as in such filth and deprivation – illness, injury and lack of nutrition reduced everyone to exactly the same level of desperation, hopelessness, and depression. Many Europeans, whilst undergoing just a little deprivation of the luxury and deference they were used to – fell into a stupor and a type of memory loss from which they never recovered. The victory and dominance of the Imperial Japanese in China (and throughout Asia) was in reality a defeat of European racism. The Imperial Japanese proved to the Europeans they had replaced, that through the fascism of Nippon, a non-White people could be just as dominant and racist. What the White people had inflicted on the population of Asia – the Japanese inflicted upon the defeated Europeans.

Japanese Scholar: “Truths in History Needs to be Told to More People!” (18.9.2023)

According to Matsuno, Japan’s WWII-related records have been transferred to the National Archives of Japan (NAJ) by the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare, while some diplomatic and military-related documents are kept by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense.

Every once in a while, the NAJ would release batches of newly processed historical materials, among which Matsuno spotted the recently discovered documents.

The researcher pointed out that even when new materials are made available, they can remain obscure without substantial expertise and research skills, as searching for information using keywords like “Unit 731” or “epidemic prevention unit” yields little results.
