More evidence to nail Japan's lies on wartime crimes

Nearly 90 newly sorted documents of the Japanese military during its occupation of Northeast China from 1931 to 1945, just released by Jilin Provincial Archive in Changchun, once again revealed Japanese war atrocities and proved how wrong Japanese right-wing politicians have been.

Changchun once served as the headquarters of the Japanese Kanto Military Police and "capital" of Manchukuo, a puppet state created by Japan then. The archive keeps more than 100,000 historical documents, about 90 percent of them written in Japanese, the world's largest open record on the issue and irrefutable proof of Japanese invasion and occupation of and atrocities in China.

The Japanese army set fire to many of its war documents and buried the remaining ones before it made a slapdash withdrawal from China after Japan surrendered to the Allied forces on Aug 15, 1945. The buried documents were found when workers began digging a construction site in the 1950s.
