I tell you about the types of war criminals.
A. Crimes against Peace, B. War Crimes, and C. Crimes against Humanity.
The conventional war crimes up to that point were Class B.
Class A war criminals were created by the Ex Post Facto Law for the Tokyo Trials
@alanfzhang Because the upper echelons of the Japanese state, such as Tojo and Kishi, could not be tried for the usual war crimes.
But the West, which had been driven out of Asia for fighting Japan, created the category A"Crimes Against Peace" by Ex Post Facto law to punish them.
@alanfzhang Judging them by ex post facto laws is a barbaric act.
This simply shows that the Tokyo Trials were a revenge trial.
Manchuria was part of the Qing Dynasty, the fathers land of the Manchus, but it had never been the territory of any dynasty that had existed in China before that.
@alanfzhang The West called Manchuria a puppet state of Japan, but after the collapse of the Qing Dynasty, the Manchus returned to their ancestral land of Manchuria.
Manchus retained their emperor and their culture.
@alanfzhang Manchuria had no industry in the first place.
It was Kishi's achievement that he and the Manchus turned Manchuria into a first-class industrialized country.
That is why Mao Zedong wanted Manchuria so badly.
@alanfzhang However the West, ignorant of the history of East Asia, gave Manchuria to Mao.
And the first genocide occurred in China.
Why was he released?
It was because the US had imprisoned Kishi, who could not be tried for ordinary war crimes, by vague Ex Post Facto laws.
Some people had been executed for it.
It was the US that knew this better than anyone else.
You don't seem to know this, but in the 1990's the Venona documents were deciphered and it was discovered that there were over 300 Soviet spies in the Roosevelt administration, including Harry Dexter White, Alger Hiss and others.
They instigated the outbreak of war between Japan and the U.S. on behalf of the Soviets and delayed the end of the war until the Soviets entered the war against Japan.
@alanfzhang As a result, after only a few weeks of fighting, the Soviets had half of Asia under their control.
And the U.S. was forced into war with Communism immediately after WW2 and for decades thereafter (Korean War and Vietnam War).
To reiterate, Class A war criminals are a category created by Ex Post Facto Law for those who cannot be tried as ordinary war criminals, and the Tokyo Trials were a barbaric trial forced on the victorious nation.
@alanfzhang A country with a long history has both won and lost wars.
For example, was the Iraq War a good war?
But the President of the United States goes to Arlington Cemetery to mourn the war dead from a bad war.
Zeng Xu Bai, a Kuomintang official under Chiang Kai-shek, exposed this in his memoirs after the war.
"The Nanking Massacre was our propaganda"
@alanfzhang Zeng Xu Bai, a Chiang Kai-shek's KMT official
"We paid Timperley and Smythe to write books purporting to be eyewitness accounts of the Nanking Massacre, which sold well in the U.S. and succeeded in dragging the U.S. into our war against Japan"
@alanfzhang After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, there was no such thing as a unified government in China.
Warlords ruled each region.
As security deteriorated rapidly, not only Japanese but also Western troops were stationed in China.
@alanfzhang However, Chiang Kai-shek's KMT repeatedly carried out bizarre massacres targeting only the Japanese (Tongzhou Incident and Jinan Incident). This was the beginning of the Sino-Japanese War.
@alanfzhang It was like the local army attacking the UN peacekeeping force, and it was clearly Chiang Kai-shek's KMT that violated international law.
@alanfzhang Chiang Kai-shek's son, Chiang Ching-kuo, studied in the Soviets, married a Soviet woman who was assigned by the Soviets to watch over him, and lived in the Soviet Union for a long time as a hostage.
Chiang Kai-shek was also a Pawn of the Soviets.
@alanfzhang As a result of WW2, Europe lost its colonies in Asia and Africa, and lost its power.
The US was forced to fight against communism for decades after WW2.
The only winners of WW2 were the Soviets and Communism.
@alanfzhang In1990's,comfort women suddenly became an issue between Japan & SKorea because of an article written by a reporter from the Asahi ,a relative of a comfort women org leader, which wrote that "JP military hunted Korean women on Jeju Island Korea and used them as comfort women"
@alanfzhang In 2014, Asahi finally admitted that "those articles about comfort women were faked," retracted all of them, apologized that it made the diplomatic row between Japan and South Korea, and the president resigned. asahi.com/articles/SDI20…
@alanfzhang During the WW2, in order to prevent rape of civilian women and sexually transmitted diseases among soldiers, not only the Japanese military, but also the U.S., British, French, and other Western militaries contracted with Civilian-Run Brothels, not with individual women.
@alanfzhang Show the difference between the US and Japanese armies.
Incidentally, the US military also used brothels called "Recreation Centers" even during the Vietnam War. maggiemcneill.com/2011/07/05/hon…
@alanfzhang How could you not know these things if you are a student at Harvard?
Many overseas Chinese are CCP warriors, not working for the national interest of the country they immigrated to.
This is why there are frequent anti-overseas Chinese demonstrations in Southeast Asia.
@alanfzhang Japan that you created a long thread studded with false information, is the US's greatest ally.
You are a warrior of the CCP who carries out this activity in order to damage the American people's impression of their gratest ally, and to worsen relations between the US and Japan.

En 1948, Liu Shaoqi, vicepresidente del gobierno del PCC, anunció repentinamente a la prensa occidental, mientras presentaba pruebas, que había utilizado a estudiantes de la Universidad de Pekín para provocar el Incidente de Marco Polo.
En el Tribunal de Tokio, las potencias aliadas juzgaron que el Incidente de Marco Polo fue causado por los militares japoneses, y detuvieron al Comandante de la Brigada Kawabe y al Comandante del Regimiento Mutaguchi como criminales de guerra.
Los fiscales del Tribunal de Tokio se alborotaron y retiraron inmediatamente los cargos de crímenes de guerra contra los dos hombres y los pusieron en libertad.
