I wonder how many Japanese people know about Nippon Kaigi? I think the majority of them don't even know about this..

This is not the first time there was apologies from the unit 731 member. You can google it.

Your view is the optimists view But for a cynic, omme can also think that he didn't show any remorse for his while life. And only because he has some fatal disease or going to die from old age. Basically, he has made his peace with his own death/mortality, and he thinks by doing this stuff, he is hoping that he will die with dignity and his morality restored. In other words, it's a pure selfish act to ease his own fears and other psychological/ideological factors.. with religious/spiritual factors being the most obvious. IE he is hoping to go to heaven instead of hell.. or reincarnated as a human again instead of a rat, bug, or a LOG. "Logs" were what unit 731 members called people that they using as lab specimens as part of their dehumanization . I mean Chinese and the few other nationalities involved(some Americans even) weren't good enough to be called some kind of animal and instead they used some dead inanimate object like a log. I also assume that this type of dehumanization and thought process was not just limited to unit 731 but was widespread in the imperial Japanese army(IJA). I remember hearing about two friends in Japanese army who had a contest to see who could decapitate 100 heads first with their katanas. Think about that. This is WW2, people had machine guns and pistols and everything already. Ywt they are having a competition to see who can decapitate the most heads.. and this would be innocent's since actual armed combatants would not allow themselves to be in a position where they can get decapitated to begin with. So I am assuming it's just the usual Japanese genocide. Probably happened during the rape of Banking(Nanjing now). They went around the city just slaughtering and raping everyone and everything. Even pregnant women had their babies cut out and then the unborn child was skewered in the air with their bayonets like they are playing tennis or some sport. They were throwing it around in the air and probably got off on that sadistic shit, forcing fathers to have sex with their daughter, sons with mothers, then they kill the pregnant mother in front of their whole extended family.. or they force the family members to kill their own family, while pretending that they will spare the pregnant women or children but that's obviously a lie. The best was probably them making you dig your own grave literally. The stuff japan did in WW2 was some of the most brutal and depraved shit humans have done since like medieval dark ages torture shit(cruel and unusual punishment). Japanese are meant to be civilized, but they acted like wild animals or barbarians. I guess compared to China they are since they only became "civilized" after they had contact with China and copied everything wholesale including the written language, inventions, cultural stuff like art, music, and also the governmental system(imperial dynasty with emperor etc). During WW2 China was looked at as backwards and uncultured barbarians, or at least relative to the western great powers. That's why Japan betrayed their heritage and roots and basically did everything they could to get recognized as an advanced colonial state by the western powers like 8 nation alliance who also invaded and subjugated and looted china and still had their colonial possessions like in Shanghai and dozens of cities all over China. Including Hong Kong of course. Japan also wanted their piece of china since that's what all the colonial great powers were doing at the time. Japan has always learned and copied from the most advanced and strongest civilizations.. But they were really dumb to think they could swallow all of China when even the mongols took 100+ years to do so(while the rest of the world fell quickly, just like Japans expansion in WW2). But if Japan would have studied history, they would know that mongols were the one who got assimilated into Chinese society and cultural sphere, just like Manchus. So perhaps Japan is luckier having been defeated by China in WW2. Otherwise today Japan would probably be one of chinas minority ethnic groups and there would be more Japanese in China as Chinese citizens than in Japan itself. That's the case for Mongolia since there's more ethnic Mongolians in Chinas inner Mongolia region than in the whole of Mongolia itself(also known as outer Mongolia since it was all part of China during Qing dynasty) until Russia/Japan took over and after WW2 Russia and China agreed to give independence so they can be a buffer zone for the two superpowers. Else they'd need hundreds of thousands of troops just to guard the 1000s of kms of border.

Current Japanese government are dogs leashed by the US. Not only will not apologise but tried covering up and causing harm to China!

His apology is still insincere. Why didn't he come out earlier but wait until late in his life to come out to apologize? Why didn't he go to the UN to testify about it?

Still are.

The IJA and IJN were not evil, just certain POG units where. The average Japanese infantryman was no different to any other soldier of any other nation. You have to remember that the ones who commit horrific war crimes like this are rear liners, it's not the actual war fighting troops doing this.

If that is true, how come the apology of unit 731 members so hard to come? Obviously, those cruel activities by their country men didn't bother them much

Like the Rape of Nanking, typical denial by the Japanese population.

That is simply not true. In nanjing during the massacre, two Japanese officers had a contest to behead a hundred Chinese civilians this event was covered by the Tokyo nichi nichi newspaper like a baseball game Rephrased: Two Japanese officers had a competition to behead 100 Chinese civilians during the Nanjing massacre, this event was covered by the Tokyo Nichi nichi newspaper (which you can still find images of) like a sports game.

They never give official apologies but they took steps to reconcile. While China was starting to develop Japan pumped billions of yen as a plan to help boost the Chinese economy.

Don’t be a liar. The government and its officials did apologize like in the Kono Statement (1993) Murayama Statement (1995) and the statement by Shinzo Abe as we marked the 70 th anniversary of the end of WW2.

Sounds like Joseph Mengele's experiments at Auschwitz when he connected to girls without anaesthesia. Another experiment that 731 did was having a mother and a child barefoot and heating the ground to an unbearable extent till the mother threw the child on the ground to stand on it, they would both pass away though.

The victims are fixated on a place so they couldn't run as well

While that’s true, I think those comments were talking about the modern day citizens. I saw videos of interviewers asking young Japanese about some very obvious details of the world wars, such as to identify the flag of Nazi Germany, and they couldn’t do it. Their schools don’t seem to be teaching the atrocities committed by their country and may even be fabricating it. (Btw I’m not trying to refute anything, just adding on to the thought)

They also did the same to South East Asian countries back in ww2
