I can’t quite wrap my head around the reason why Japan did not invade China. In order to fight against my memory, which is getting weaker every year, I’m going to record it here. I plan to add to the content later if necessary. I hope it will help someone to understand why Japan has not invaded China.
「戦争を仕掛けた中国になぜ謝らなければならないのだ!」「史実を世界に発信する会」茂木弘道著 より。
From “Why do we have to apologize to China for starting the war? ” by Hiromichi Mogi of the Association for Transmitting Historical Facts to the World.
Japan stationed Japanese nationals in China in compliance with the treaty at the time. However, the Chinese government did not protect the foreigners. So foreign countries, including the Japanese, stationed their own troops there. The historical fact is that the Chinese army attacked them there.
It is as if the Self-Defense Forces suddenly went to war with the US military bases stationed in Japan under the Security Treaty and started a war “inside Japan”.
↑ Under international law, Japan is the aggressor.
講和条約は最終決着である The peace treaty is the final settlement.
日本と中国の戦争は以下の3つの条約で解決済みである。
「日華平和条約」(中華民国)
「日中共同声明」「日中平和友好条約」(中華人民共和国)
The war between Japan and China has been settled by the following three treaties.
The “Japan-China Peace Treaty” (Republic of China)
“Japan-China Joint Statement” and “Japan-China Treaty of Peace and Friendship” (People’s Republic of China)
In the words of Huang Wenxiong, a Taiwanese national, “The cessation of civil war, the relief of peasants and starvation, the cessation of partition by the powers…for all of these, China has no right to criticize Japan but to thank it. Invasion? I’m no kidding. It is China that should apologize to Japan for having the misfortune of having a foolish people as its neighbors.
China’s 150-year civil war claimed tens of millions of victims, and the civil war continued after the Xinhai Revolution, only to be halted by the advance of the Japanese army.
In the seven years of KMT civil war leading up to 1930, including the Anji War, Fengji War, and the Zhongyuan War, the death toll was estimated at 30 million, according to Lin Wutang.
Rather than plundering the land, the Japanese troops stationed in Taiwan, Korea, and Manchuria made production plans, provided guidance and support for production, forced landowners to stop collecting taxes, protected farming villages from raids by bandits , secured food supplies, and provided relief to the peasants. They were also working hard to secure food supplies and provide relief to the peasants. He wrote.
According to Wen-Hsiung Huang, the Taiwanese people were never tainted by the Tokyo Trials historical view. According to Mr. Huang, the Taiwanese people were never tainted by the Tokyo Tribunal history, i.e., they were never tainted by the War Guilt Information Program (WGIP). Therefore, they frankly accept the historical fact that Japan’s war was really the Reconquista of Asia, which led to the extermination of Western colonial powers, and say that it was bad that Japan lost.
The Rohgou Bridge Incident and Shanghai Incident will be discussed in this volume.
① Disinfection work to prevent Ebola infection. ② 1910 plague disinfection work in South Manchuria.
It's exactly the same. All kinds of infectious diseases were prevalent in China at all times, and at that time Japan was also working to eradicate them.
The picture on the top right is a picture of plague disinfection. Here’s the same one.
The picture on the left is a picture of disinfection in recent Ebola fever. What do you think? Doesn’t it look similar? This is the medical practice in epidemics.
The official name of the Unit 731 is the headquarters of Epidemic Prevention and Water Purification Department of the Kwantung Army.
Between 1910 and 1911 there was a plague outbreak in Manchuria. At the time, Harbin had a population of 70,000 and killed more than 60,000 people in all of Manchuria.
The Qing Dynasty government held the Mukden International Plague Conference in 1911. Britain, the United States, Germany, France, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Austria, Japan, and Russia participated in the conference. Japan played an important role in the eradication of the plague.
Incidentally, the Kwantung Governor-general was in charge of government in The Kwantung Leased Territory (including cities such as Lushun, Dalian, Jinzhou, etc.), which was a leased territory Japan took over from Russia under the Treaty of Portsmouth after the Russo-Japanese War in 1905.
At the time of the plague epidemic, the Japanese were operating in the South Manchuria Railway Company. Although there was relatively little damage within the jurisdiction of the Kanto Governorate due to the effect of quarantine control, there were still more than 200 cases of the disease, with direct damage prevention costs of more than 1,720,000 yen in government funds and more than 800,000 yen in public and private expenditures. (The starting salary for college graduates in Japan around 1910 was about 35 yen).
