Nathan Rich comments on the trailer of a new movie on Japanese Unit 731

If you know only a little about the Japanese incursion into China as part of the 2ndWW, and the 1937-1945 War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, or the Tokyo War Crimes trials, seek out videos, as the whole history of that period has not yet been told.  Here is one about the horrible biological warfare by the Japanese of the era and how the knowledge was inculcated in the Geneva Conventions’ prohibitions against biological warfare.

China will hold a military parade in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square on Sept. 3 to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, with President Xi Jinping set to deliver a speech on the occasion.  To my knowledge, it is only the 2nd time that such a parade will be held.

The parade to commemorate what Beijing calls its victory in the 1937-1945 War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression will “display new-type combat capabilities such as unmanned intelligent systems, underwater combat units, cyber and electronic forces and hypersonic weapons,” the official Xinhua News Agency said.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is expected to attend the event. In May, Xi joined a ceremony in Moscow to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe that Russia observes as Victory Day as well as a military parade held in Red Square.
