During the Sino-Japanese War, Nanking, the capital of China, falls to Japanese forces, and the Chinese government flees to Hankow, further inland along the Yangtze River.
To break the spirit of Chinese resistance, Japanese General Matsui Iwane ordered that the city of Nanking be destroyed. Much of the city was burned, and Japanese troops launched a campaign of atrocities against civilians. In what became known as the “Rape of Nanking,” the Japanese butchered an estimated 150,000 male “war prisoners,” massacred an additional 50,000 male civilians, and raped at least 20,000 women and girls of all ages, many of whom were mutilated or killed in the process.
Shortly after the end of World War II, Matsui was found guilty of war crimes by the International Military Tribunal for the Far East and executed.

What a great strategy! He had burned a flame of incredible hatred that would last for many many generations.
The flame still burns; China never stops tossing logs on the fire.
How long before China has BLM trannies throwing Uncle Sam’s Christmas tree on the flames?
The Koreans and the Chinese still hate Japan for it too…….Study the second world war and you’ll see why Russia wants a buffer between them and Germany…still to this day. Just ask Putin.
The Chinese think that the Japanese are dogs and that the Korean’s are below that . That came from a family friend 40 years ago…a neurosurgeon from China.
They should have executed the Emperor of Japan as well.
