This is the worst disservice a writer can make to the public using misinformation. There is no basis and historians have already proved that all the photographs used from irrelevant sources. No wonder she had to kill herself.

(Part6)Thats why Chinese people called CPC, Mao soldiers, 共匪 which means communists pirates because they raped many women, plunder many towns, and murdered. Actually, Chinese commanders admitted many soldiers raped and seized at least a week after they visited a new town. If the commander had not admitted that, poor soldiers would have killed him. This photo shows that Japanese troop protected the Chinese farmers safely.
Shizznah, this is one of the examples. Do you need more?

(Part5)One of the Chinese men whose name was梁啓超 called Chinese people戮民, which means never mind people die for our victory Also, many Chinese soldiers were maltreated by the government. Moreover, Chinese civilians were maltreated by Chinese soldiers. The Chinese militarys characteristics were not only KMT but also CPC. CPC acted more brutally than KMT.

(Part4)In short, a scene of peaceful farming village has been secretly switched to the one that is taking villagers to somewhere prior to rape en masse. It is indeed a wicked act of secretly switching the picture. In tradition of China, people used to be killed as if they were a worm by soldiers for their victory. In other words, Chinese civilians were never protected by any authorities during any war.

(Part3)In those days in china, the lootings are often committed by the deserted Chinese soldiers. Therefore, the farmers have needed the protection of Japanese troops to engage in farming safely. Also, this very photo has been taken by Correspondent KUMASAKI in the province of Paoshan in the vicinity of Shanghai, on October 14, 1937.

(Part2)This photo has appeared in the Asahi Graph, a weekly photo journal, published in Japan on November 10, 1937, about one month before Nanking battle. A set of four pictures have appeared in the journal with the explanation, titled as “Utopia amidst the Gun-power: The ‘Rising Sun’ Village South of the Yangtze.” The very picture is captioned with “A group of women and children from the Rising Sun Village returning from the fields, guarded by our soldiers.”

(Part1)One of the Photos displayed at the ‘Memorial Hall of Victims in Nanjing Massacre’. It is also displayed in the book The Rape of Nanking. The book states “The Japanese rounded up thousands of women. Most of them were gang raped or forced into military prostitution. (Politburo of Military Committee, Taipei)” However, this photo has nothing to do with the gang-rape nor the military prostitution.

There is no doubt that Iris Chang spread out wrong history which was the Nanking Massacre. This is one of the crimes malicious slanders.

Demonstrating the fake story of Chinese government is one of the charges of libel.
Raising an objection of Japanese against Chinese propaganda is very natural.

(Part4)And yet, about 10,000 Japanese-Chinese half-blood babies should have been born. Where these pregnant Chinese women were gone? Where about 10,000 Japanese-descended Chinese babies were gone? Im hoping to see descendants of Japanese-Chinese half-blood in Nanking.

(Part3)Judging The Rape of Nanking against the pregnancy rate of The Rape of Berlin, 23% of rape survivors should have become pregnant against their will. 23%this means at least 4,600 to 18,400 Chinese women should have become pregnant after a set period of time. And more, The baby boom should have taken place in Nanking 10 months after the fall of Nanking.

(Part2)This number is absolutely not trustworthy, when thinking about the sum of the Japanese soldiers stationed in Nanking. This number is based on the witness made by Rabe and Bates, and these have not been directly eye-witnessed but only the rumors. The ‘documents of damage’ prepared at the request of the Safety Zone Committee are only 361 cases for six weeks, including some cases which have not been identified with the offenses committed by the Japanese soldiers.

(Part1)About claims of rapes, the Japanese Army has ordered all the soldiers ‘to kindly and open-mindedly treat the elderly, women and children’, and those who did not obey the orders have been heavily punished. The issue is a sum of cases. The number of the ‘cases of rape’ Chinese claim is from 20,000 to 80,000 cases. Suppose we took this number, there should have been from 500 to 2,000 cases of rapes occurred daily.

(Part0) I don’t think so. Chinese people are mind controlled by Anti-Japanese education in schools. You should answer my questions. (Continue to Part1)

(Part8)One of the pictures shows that Chinese people were sick or were wounded in a hospital in Nanking, and Japanese medics nursing them. This photo was from the North China Daily News on December 18, 1937, five days after the occupation of Nanking.

(Part7)For a half century after World War II, Japan has kept silence whenever and however we were falsely accused of this problem. Here, we would like to break the silence for the first time. We will not scream like the Chinese, but set forth our views purely and fairly as an accused standing in the dock of a courthouse, speaking in a low tone of voice, asking the fair judgment of the readers.

(Part6)It is indeed a wicked act of secretly switching the picture. Newest science technology found 143 pictures are edited by them. Their propaganda has still continued. Many propaganda films are uploaded in Youtube by people who are influenced anti-Japanese education! Even China has human right problems such as Tibet and Uygure, they are sticking so-called the Nanking Massacre incident and loudly denouncing the fake incident which had been insisted on its happening more than sixty years ago.

(Part4)How did they start the propaganda about the Nanking Massacre? One of the foundations of the massacre myth is based on the book which is called “What War Means”, edited by Harold Timperley. But he was an advisor to the Chinese Nationalist governments Ministry of Information. The section was propaganda section which was established by KMT (Kuomintang, Chiang Kai-shek) in China during the War. Timperley was paid by the propaganda section for editing the book.
