Many world leaders think and act they can lie as they please. Not knowing, the Bible says clearly:

Rev 21:8, “But for the cowardly, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and sexually immoral 

persons, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part will be in the Lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” 

All liars their part will be in the Lake that burns with fire and brimstone, WHICH IS THE SECOND DEATH. Japanese government and leaders never admit WWII war crimes having alliance with the U.S. that made immunity possible and total silence. Not to mention biological attacks or germ warfares–the infamous programs of so-called Unit 731. U.S. became accessory after the fact and conspirator — the deliberate cover-up. What was known as a hero general, General Douglas MacArthur, was acutally infamous and made deliberate coverup for Japanse 731 Unit and their horrible crimes against humanity and protector of Japanese war criminal emperor. “In essence, the US shielded these war criminals from justice so that America alone could benefit from their gruesome “medical data” and prevent it from falling into Soviet hands.”

This is fulfilled of the Scripture, Mat 10:26, “So do not fear them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.” All the power of General MacArthur could not conceal the most inhuman war crimes of Japan, and the most heinous cover-up by the United States. What compounds the problem and aggravates injustice is the fact that the Japanese courts refuse to pay compensations for their most atrocious war crimes. Japanese leaders worship the executed war criminals as national heroes and living gods, and white wash and rewrote its infamous history. But I am sure Japan and its powerful ally U.S. cannot escape the judgment and wrath of God to come.

God cannot be fooled by the coverup. General MacArthur was an enemy of historical truth. There are so many distorted histories made by famous men.

There are so many phony things in the world, among them is false or fake democracy.

“Inhumane Experiments and Their Objectives

Inside Unit 731’s walls, an appalling array of human experiments was carried out under the guise of science. The objective was twofold: first, to develop effective biological and chemical weapons for use against Japan’s enemies; and second, to study the effects of various deadly conditions on the human body, ostensibly to improve medical knowledge and battlefield survival for Japanese troops. In practice, these experiments were acts of barbarism. Thousands of men, women, and children (including infants) were systematically tortured and killed as live test subjects. What follows are the major categories of experiments and their intended goals:

Pathogen exposure and disease research: A core focus of Unit 731 was experimenting with infectious diseases. Prisoners were deliberately infected with virulent pathogens to observe the progression of illnesses and to harvest biological agents. Plague, cholera, typhoid, dysentery, anthrax, smallpox, tuberculosis, and many other diseases were cultivated within the laboratories. Doctors would infect victims by various means – forcing them to consume contaminated food or water, injecting cultures directly, or exposing them to plague-infested fleas. Entire cohorts of prisoners would be sickened simultaneously to compare how different diseases or doses affected the human body. The stated objective was to develop techniques for launching biological attacks and to refine medical treatments or vaccines for Japanese forces. In reality, little therapeutic research was done – the emphasis was on weaponisation. For instance, Ishii and his team determined by the late 1930s a shortlist of especially potent pathogens (such as plague, anthrax, cholera, typhus, and glanders) that could be produced in quantity and dispersed to cause mass epidemics. Prisoners infected with these diseases were observed closely as their symptoms worsened, and at set intervals many were vivisected(dissected alive) to examine the internal effects without the distortions of post-mortem decay. Not only did this yield data for weapon development (like which bacteria caused the fastest death or most contagion), but it also produced stocks of “high-octane” pathogens to seed cultures for bombs.

Vivisection and physiological experiments: Perhaps the most gruesome practice at Unit 731 was the routine performance of vivisections on live prisoners without anaesthesia. Hundreds of victims, including women and children, were cut open alive by Unit 731 surgeons. These procedures were ostensibly done to study the internal organs’ response to disease, injury, or treatment. For example, an inmate might be infected with plague or typhus, and after a specified period – as the fever raged – be subjected to dissection so that researchers could inspect bacteria-laden lesions in organs like the lungs, liver, spleen, etc. Others had perfectly healthy organs removed to see how long they might survive with vital parts missing, or to research interdependence of organs. Some prisoners had limbs amputated so that blood loss and trauma could be studied; grotesquely, there are accounts of limbs being reattached to the opposite side of the body as a perverse surgical experiment. In other cases, stomachs were surgically removed and the oesophagus reattached directly to intestines to observe digestive consequences. Witnesses from Unit 731 later described that these vivisections were daily occurrences and were carried out with a chilling detachment by the staff. It was not uncommon for a prisoner to be infected with a disease, then dissected alive for examination, and whatever remained of the body incinerated. No pain relief was given – indeed, the agony was part of the experiment, and the only “humane” gesture might be stuffing a rag in the victim’s mouth to muffle screams. According to later testimony, even some Japanese medical trainees outside Unit 731 were made to practice surgery on live Chinese prisoners as a form of training, indicating that such brutality was not confined to a few individuals but tacitly approved by higher authorities.

Weapons testing on human targets: Unit 731 also served as a human proving ground for conventional and chemical weapons. The Japanese army wanted to test the effectiveness of bombs, grenades, flamethrowers, and poisons on live bodies rather than dummies. Thus, prisoners were taken to firing ranges or open fields and used as targets. Accounts describe victims being tied to stakes while various bombs (including fragmentation bombs and incendiary devices)were detonated at different distances to gauge blast effects and shrapnel patterns on the human body. Some were exposed to chemical weapons – gas chambers at Unit 731 were used to test poison gases like mustard gas, lewisite, phosgene, and others, with subjects forced to inhale lethal fumes so researchers could record the symptoms and time to death. In other tests, prisoners were shot or bayoneted in specific ways so military medics could practice treating battlefield injuries – or conversely to see the lethality of new ammunition. The goal of these experiments was to improve Japan’s weapon designs and to train military surgeons, but the price was the lives of countless helpless victims. One notorious subset was frostbite experiments: the unit’s Chief of Physiology, Dr. Hisato Yoshimura, had a particular interest in hypothermia and frostbite, conditions faced by Japanese troops in cold climates. He conducted cruel trials in which prisoners (including children) were taken outside in sub-zero winter conditions. Their limbs would be doused in water and exposed until frozen solid – Yoshimura would then strike the frozen arms or legs with a stick to confirm they had ice forming (“it made a sound like a plank of wood when hit,” he noted). The frostbitten limbs were then subjected to various re-warming techniques or left untreated to observe the progression of tissue damage, gangrene, and necrosis. Many victims endured agonising pain as their flesh deteriorated. In some cases, Yoshimura simply observed how long it took for subjects to die from exposure. These experiments ostensibly helped the Japanese Army devise better strategies for treating frostbite, but they were carried out with callous disregard for human life, earning Yoshimura nicknames like “the cold-blooded devil” among colleagues.

Sexual violence and disease transmission: Another category of experiments involved forced sex acts and reproduction, primarily to research sexually transmitted infections – especially syphilis – and potential vertical transmission (mother-to-child infection). Unit 731 staff deliberately infected prisoners with syphilis by coercing or forcing prisoners into rape. Earlier attempts to inject syphilis into subjects failed to produce realistic disease progression, so doctors chose a more heinous route: they would take an infected male or female prisoner and force them to have intercourse with an uninfected prisoner under threat of death. According to guards’ later testimony, resistors were shot, so most complied out of fear. Through this method, entire groups of prisoners were systematically infected with venereal diseases. The victims (including pregnant women) were then monitored over weeks and months. Many were later vivisected at various stages of syphilis infection so researchers could study damage to organs, brains, and fetuses. Female prisoners who became pregnant – whether through rape by guards or as a result of these forced pairings – were used to see if diseases passed through the placenta. In many cases, pregnant women were vivisected and their foetuses studied; none of those babies survived, being either killed in utero or immediately after birth. The unit also performed forced pregnancies with the explicit aim of later dissecting the pregnant women and offspring. Testimonies indicate that no children left Unit 731 alive; any infant born there was murdered or used in further experiments. The rationale given for these crimes was to understand how syphilis and other pathogens might be transmitted across generations or how they affected fertility and childbirth, knowledge that had dubious military value but was pursued with obsessive cruelty. Beyond the veneer of medical research, the rape of prisoners was also a gruesome pastime for some Unit 731 personnel. Former members later recounted incidents where bored guards would rape female prisoners as a casual diversion, even those who had been mutilated by experiments. The utter dehumanisation of victims made such atrocities possible as daily occurrences.

Additional atrocities: Unit 731’s doctors devised many other experiments that defy any scientific justification. Prisoners were subjected to extreme deprivation – some were starved of food and water to record the progression of dehydration and hunger. Others were locked into high-pressure or low-pressure chambers to see how barometric pressure changes would kill (eyewitnesses described how eyeballs of the victims would burst from rapid decompression). Some inmates were hung upside down to determine how long it would take for them to choke to death. Others were electrocuted, burned alive, or buried alive as part of various terror tactics disguised as research. There were experiments where people were spun to death in centrifuges to observe trauma from g-forces. Victims were injected with animal blood to see if cross-species transfusions could sustain life – for example, horse blood was transfused into prisoners, inevitably causing lethal reactions. Deliberate poisoning was common: subjects were forced to ingest or injected with various toxic chemicals, venoms, and gases so researchers could note the effects. This included overdoses of narcotics (like heroin), herbal poisons, industrial chemicals, and even notorious toxins such as potassium cyanide, ricin (from castor beans), and puffer fish toxin (tetrodotoxin). The facility also investigated blood loss and blood replacement – massive amounts of blood would be drained from prisoners at intervals to see how shock and anemia progressed, and then sometimes replaced with different blood types to test compatibility. In one series of tests, doctors exchanged blood between individuals of different blood types to note the reactions (foreshadowing the necessity of blood typing in medicine). Some prisoners were intentionally allowed to develop gangrene in wounds, or had their bones broken and reset incorrectly, to study untreated infections. The sheer range of sadistic experiments was staggering – essentially, any lethal scenario the human mind could conceive was tried on Unit 731’s prisoners. Underpinning it all was the goal of advancing Japan’s war capabilities: whether by improving biological warfare agents, testing the limits of human survival to better equip Japanese soldiers, or simply to train military medics in live conditions. However, most scientists now agree that the “data” obtained was minimal and often scientifically flawed – the experiments were more acts of cruelty than legitimate research. Regardless of the rationale, the immediate result was thousands of agonising deaths.

The Scale and Scope of the War Crimes

The atrocities of Unit 731 and its affiliated units constituted one of the most egregious war crimes of the 20th century. The exact death toll from Unit 731’s activities is difficult to determine, as the programme was shrouded in secrecy and many records were destroyed. However, post-war investigations and testimonies have provided estimates that convey the horrifying scale:

Victims within the facilities: At the Pingfang complex itself, it’s widely accepted that at least 3,000 prisoners were killed in the course of experiments from 1936 to 1945. These were men, women, and children who perished from deliberate infection, torture, or execution (often following experimentation). Some estimates put the number higher – former Unit 731 personnel have suggested internally the toll could have been closer to 10,000 if all “on-site” experiments and executions are counted. Prisoners were constantly being brought in and disposed of; it was routine that once a subject had served their purpose in an experiment, they would be killed to prevent them from ever revealing what happened. Importantly, no prisoner held by Unit 731 was ever known to leave alive. There were virtually no survivors from within the compound to tell their stories – the only first-hand accounts came from the perpetrators themselves or from fragmentary second-hand sources, since victims were exterminated to maintain secrecy. The detainees came from all walks of life: the majority were Chinese (including civilians from occupied territories and partisans fighting Japanese rule), along with a significant number of Koreans and some Mongolians and Russians (from border areas or Soviet prisoners). There is evidence that a small number of Allied prisoners of war (Britons, Americans, Australians, etc.) were also sent to Unit 731 or its sister units and died there, though this aspect was not well documented at the time. Such Allied POWs may have included airmen captured in China or Pacific islands. For instance, after the 1942 Doolittle Raid on Japan, some captured American flyers were reportedly handed over to Unit 731 and later executed. While the vast majority of victims were Asian, the presence of a few Western prisoners underscores the unit’s broad brutality.

Victims of field attacks: Beyond those killed inside the labs, Unit 731 was responsible for an even larger number of deaths through its field operations in China. Starting around 1940, the unit (and related units) carried out at least a dozen large-scale biological warfare attacks against Chinese cities and towns. These secret biological attacks involved contaminating water supplies, distributing infected materials, and aerial spraying or bombing with pathogens. For example, in 1940, Japanese aircraft dropped porcelain bombs filled with plague-infected fleas over Chinese communities (such as the city of Ningbo and areas of Hunan). In late 1941, one notorious attack occurred in the city of Changde in Hunan province: Japanese forces released fleas carrying bubonic plague and spread cholera bacteria, causing a devastating outbreak. Thousands of Chinese civilians died as a result (some sources attribute around 10,000 deaths to the Changde biological attack alone). Ironically, that attack also backfired on the invaders – over 1,700 Japanese soldiers fell ill and died when cholera spread to their own ranks due to these indiscriminate methods. Between 1940 and 1943, at least 11 Chinese cities – including Quzhou, Ningbo, Changde and others – were attacked with biological agents, causing recurrent epidemics of plague, cholera, anthrax, and other diseases. In some instances, Japanese troops handed out contaminated food or candy to locals, or left behind household goods laced with lethal bacteria as they retreated, knowing unsuspecting civilians would be exposed. Crops and wells were poisoned to create famine and sickness. The overall civilian death toll from Japan’s germ warfare in China is still debated: a post-war International Symposium in 2002 in Harbin estimated about 580,000 Chinese fatalities resulted from biological warfare and human experimentation combined. Many historians consider this figure plausible when cumulative outbreaks and secondary spread are considered. A more conservative estimate by historian Sheldon H. Harris suggests at least 200,000 Chinese deaths were directly attributable to the germ warfare campaign. Even the lower end of these estimates underscores an enormous hidden genocide perpetrated under the auspices of scientific research.

No mercy for the victims: The war crimes of Unit 731 were marked not only by their scale but by their sheer cruelty. Unlike more “conventional” war atrocities where survivors might remain, the victims of Unit 731 were systematically silenced. As the war neared its end in 1945, Unit 731’s leadership made concerted efforts to eliminate any remaining prisoners. In August 1945, with Japan facing imminent surrender, orders were given to “dispose of” the last test subjects to erase evidence. Approximately 300 to 400 prisoners then still in custody at Pingfang were killed en masse – some accounts describe how prisoners were herded and given potassium cyanide or morphine, or encouraged to commit suicide, and those who hesitated were shot. Bodies were cremated in the compound’s incinerators or buried in mass graves on site. By the time Soviet forces reached Manchuria and Allied investigators began looking, there were no living captives left to bear witness. This eradication of victims is one reason the full scope of Unit 731 remained obscured for so long.

Extent of the crimes: Unit 731’s activities are often compared to the medical atrocities committed in Nazi concentration camps (like those by Dr. Mengele), and in terms of death toll and inhumanity, Unit 731 is fully comparable – indeed, in some respects it was even larger in scale. What sets Unit 731 apart is how it combined active battlefield use of its “research” (the germ attacks) with the secret lab work. The unit’s crimes encompassed not just isolated experiments on a few dozen or hundred people, but a concerted campaign of biological warfare affecting hundreds of thousands. This was a systematic attempt to develop weapons of mass destruction banned by international law (Japan had not ratified the 1925 Geneva Protocol against biological warfare, giving it a pretext to pursue these weapons). The actions of Unit 731 clearly meet the definitions of war crimes and crimes against humanity: there was mass murder, torture, and barbaric treatment of prisoners of war and civilians. The victims were overwhelmingly non-combatants who had no way to defend themselves against such abuse. Moreover, the unit’s operations violated medical ethics on an unprecedented level, effectively turning doctors into executioners. It’s worth noting that a handful of Japanese military and political leaders knew of or even visited Unit 731. For instance, Prince Mikasa (Emperor Hirohito’s brother) toured the facility in China during the war and later wrote that he watched films of poison gas experiments on Chinese prisoners. General Hideki Tōjō (the wartime Prime Minister) was reportedly briefed on Unit 731’s work, though he found the details “unpleasant” – nonetheless, he did nothing to stop it. The Japanese high command’s tacit approval helped enable Unit 731 to operate with impunity. By war’s end, the war crimes of Unit 731 had left a scar across Asia: not only in the immediate body count, but in the post-war epidemics triggered by their last-ditch efforts. For example, when Japan lost control of Manchuria in 1945, Unit 731 allegedly released plague-infected animals into the wild. In the years 1946–48, outbreaks of plague in Harbin and surrounding areas killed an additional 30,000 people – a deadly legacy of Unit 731 even after Japan’s defeat.

Key Figures Involved in Unit 731

Unit 731 was led and staffed by individuals who, under other circumstances, might have been respectable doctors or officers – but who became architects of atrocity. Some of the key figures and their roles include:

• General Shirō Ishii: The founder and first commander of Unit 731, Ishii was the driving force behind Japan’s biological warfare programme. Born in 1892, he was a flamboyant, ambitious Army physician who saw germ warfare as a path to military dominance. Ishii’s charisma and connections helped him secure enormous funding and autonomy for Unit 731. He oversaw the construction of the Pingfang facility and was hands-on in designing many experiments. Known for his arrogance and energy, Ishii held the rank of Major General by the war’s end. Colleagues recalled that he viewed prisoners with utter contempt, often referring to them as “logs” to be chopped up. Despite the monstrous deeds under his watch, Ishii survived the war unpunished (largely due to American intervention, as discussed later). He lived under a false name for a time and reportedly even advised the US on biological warfare during the Korean War. Ishii died of throat cancer in 1959, having escaped formal justice, though his name is now synonymous with medical evil.
• General Masaji Kitano: A medical doctor and microbiologist, Kitano was Ishii’s deputy and later successor. In 1942, Ishii temporarily returned to Japan (some sources say for health or political reasons), and Colonel Masaji Kitano took over as commanding officer of Unit 731 from 1942 to 1945. Kitano had been involved in germ research and took part in many vivisections himself. Under his leadership, the programme continued its gruesome work unabated. After the war, Kitano also evaded prosecution and went on to have a career in the pharmaceutical industry – he was one of the founding directors of Green Cross Corporation (a major Japanese blood products company) in 1950. In a darkly ironic twist, Green Cross was later embroiled in a scandal in the 1980s for distributing HIV-tainted blood products in Japan, causing thousands of hemophiliacs to contract AIDS. Thus, Kitano was connected to human suffering in both war and peace. He died in 1986.
• Dr. Ryoichi Naitō: A scientist with Unit 731, Naitō specialised in bio-production techniques (such as cultivating bacteria and fleas). Post-war, Naitō joined Kitano in establishing Green Cross and became a prominent figure in Japan’s medical community, founding the country’s first commercial blood bank. Like others, he kept quiet about his wartime role for decades.
• Major General Kiyoshi Kawashima: As head of Unit 731’s production division, Kawashima was responsible for manufacturing massive quantities of pathogens and preparing weapons (like germ bombs). He was one of the few tried by the Soviets in 1949 and sentenced to labor (though released early). Kawashima later gave public testimony in Japan in the 1980s about Unit 731, confirming many details of germ warfare deployments.
• Prince Tsuneyoshi Takeda and Prince Naruhiko Higashikuni:** These two members of Japan’s imperial family were not experimenters themselves but were high-ranking officials connected to Unit 731. Prince Takeda (a cousin of Emperor Hirohito) served in the Kwantung Army staff and acted as a supervisor for covert operations like Unit 731, essentially as a liaison between the imperial household and the unit’s command. Prince Higashikuni (Hirohito’s brother-in-law, and briefly Prime Minister in 1945) was also privy to the germ warfare programme. Their involvement illustrates that knowledge of Unit 731 reached into the highest echelons of Japan’s leadership, giving the programme political cover. The presence of royalty suggests that Unit 731’s importance was acknowledged at the very top, even if specifics were kept compartmentalised.
• Dr. Shiro Oota and Dr. Hajime Yoshimura: Oota and Yoshimura were senior researchers heading key experiment areas. Yoshimura Hisato (mentioned earlier) ran the frostbite experiments and later became a respected professor in Japan, notably founding the Japanese Society of Biometeorology (applying his extreme weather research in less barbaric contexts). Oota (and others like Dr. Kanji Ishibashi) conducted bacteriological experiments. Many of these scientists quietly reintegrated into society post-war, often taking academic or medical positions. Astonishingly, some published papers after the war drawing on data from human experiments (disguised as animal research or otherwise). In one case, a Unit 731 doctor published a 1960s journal article about human testing of epidemic hemorrhagic fever, which passed peer review – indicating how the medical community in Japan turned a blind eye to unethical origins.
• Ken Yuasa, Yoshio Shinozuka, Yasuji Kaneko: These were more junior personnel (army medics or soldiers) who later became whistle-blowers decades after the war. Ken Yuasa, for example, was a military doctor not in Unit 731 but engaged in similar vivisections in China; in the 1980s he became one of the first Japanese veterans to publicly admit to such acts, helping to break the silence. Yoshio Shinozuka and Yasuji Kaneko were former Unit 731 members who, in the 1990s and 2000s, gave detailed testimonies in the press and at conferences, describing what they saw and did. Their accounts have been crucial in corroborating the historical record, as most official documents were destroyed.
• General Otozō Yamada: As Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army in 1944–45, General Yamada had ultimate authority over Unit 731 in the final phase of the war. He was captured by the Soviets and tried at Khabarovsk in 1949, receiving a 25-year sentence (though he served only a few years). Yamada admitted at trial to knowing about and directing bacteriological warfare. His conviction was notable because it pinned responsibility on the military leadership, not just the scientists.

The list of individuals involved in Unit 731 is long – a 2018 disclosure by Japan’s National Archives released over 3,600 names of Unit 731 personnel. Many of these people went on to lead ordinary lives in post-war Japan, often concealing their past. The impunity they enjoyed was largely due to how the aftermath was handled by the victors, especially the United States.

Post-War Fate: Surrender, Cover-Up, and Immunity Deals

When Japan surrendered in August 1945, Unit 731 was still largely unknown to the outside world. The collapse of the Japanese Empire triggered a frantic effort by Unit 731’s leaders to destroy evidence of their crimes. In the final days of the war, Ishii ordered the demolition of the Pingfang facilities. The complex was blown up with explosives on August 10, 1945 (just days before Soviet troops reached Harbin), and laboratory animals were slaughtered. Remaining stocks of biological agents were buried or burned. Documents were hastily incinerated or hidden. The aim was to leave nothing for Allied investigators to find. Ishii reportedly instructed his men that they should “take the secret to the grave,” warning that if captured they must not reveal the nature of the work. The Japanese Army also arranged for many Unit 731 personnel to disappear into the ranks as regular soldiers or civilians, to make them harder to identify. However, these efforts at a perfect cover-up were only partially successful.

In late 1945, as occupying forces swept through former Japanese territories, some evidence of Unit 731’s activities began to surface. The Soviet Union, having captured Manchuria, quickly learned of the existence of a Japanese germ warfare programme. They took into custody several dozen personnel from Unit 731 and related units. Meanwhile, in the American zone of occupation (Japan itself), initial reports about Unit 731 were slow to emerge. General Douglas MacArthur, the Supreme Allied Commander in Japan, and his staff were focused on the Tokyo War Crimes Tribunal (the International Military Tribunal for the Far East) which began in 1946 to prosecute Japanese war criminals. Surprisingly, Unit 731 barely featured in the Tokyo trials. Only a vague reference was made to “poisonous serums” used on Chinese by one Chinese prosecutor, but it was not pursued in depth and was dismissed for lack of evidence. This was no accident – it was the result of a deliberate U.S. cover-up.

By late 1945, American intelligence had caught wind of Unit 731 from various sources (including prisoner interrogations and captured documents). The US military was very interested in Japan’s biological warfare data, especially as it faced the emerging Cold War and had its own bioweapons programme at Fort Detrick, Maryland. Colonel Murray Sanders, a U.S. microbiologist assigned to investigate Japanese BW (biowarfare) activities, arrived in Japan in September 1945. Initially, Japanese officials stonewalled him about Unit 731. Only when Sanders threatened to hand suspects over to the Soviet Union did the Japanese cooperate, fearing harsh Soviet reprisals. In late 1945, Sanders received a trove of documents detailing Japan’s germ warfare experiments, which he forwarded to General MacArthur. What followed was a secret deal that remains controversial: MacArthur and his staff agreed to grant immunity from prosecution to Unit 731’s members (including Ishii and Kitano) in exchange for full disclosure of their research findings. In essence, the US shielded these war criminals from justice so that America alone could benefit from their gruesome “medical data” and prevent it from falling into Soviet hands. In 1947, MacArthur sent a cable to Washington recommending not to bring Unit 731 personnel to trial, noting that the information obtained was “of great value to the U.S.” and that evidence would be kept in intelligence channels, not revealed in court. The US authorities in Tokyo followed through on this arrangement quietly.

Throughout the late 1940s, as the Nuremberg Trials in Germany were exposing Nazi medical crimes and executing Nazi doctors, not a single Japanese scientist from Unit 731 was indicted in the Tokyo Trials. General Ishii, feared to be a major war criminal by the public had they known, lived under U.S. protection. He and his top colleagues provided American intelligence officers with reports, data, and purported findings from their human experiments. The US side, for its part, classified these and refused to share them with other Allied nations, including the Soviet Union or China, who had a direct stake as victims. This double standard – harsh justice for Axis war criminals in Europe, leniency for some in Asia – was driven by geopolitical considerations and, some argue, racism (the attitude that crimes against Asian victims were not taken as seriously as those against Europeans).

Meanwhile, the Soviet Union conducted its own trials of Unit 731 personnel. In December 1949, the Soviets convened the Khabarovsk War Crimes Trials in the city of Khabarovsk, Siberia. Twelve Japanese defendants were put on trial, including General Yamada (former Kwantung Army commander), Major General Kawashima, and other officers and scientists from Unit 731 and its sister units. Over several days, detailed testimonies were heard – the accused, perhaps hoping for leniency, fully admitted to facilitating germ warfare and human experimentation. They described spreading plague and cholera in China and gave numbers of the victims. In 1950, the Soviet government published the trial proceedings, including confessions that corroborated much of what we know about Unit 731. The Khabarovsk trial sentenced the Japanese defendants to terms of 2 to 25 years in labour camps. Notably, even these sentences were lenient by Soviet standards (possibly indicating that deals were made behind the scenes). Indeed, by 1956, all those convicted at Khabarovsk had been released and repatriated to Japan. The United States and Japan officially dismissed the Khabarovsk trial as communist “propaganda,” claiming the confessions might be coerced. At the time, during the early Cold War, Western media gave little credence to the Soviet reports – an irony, since the U.S. secretly knew the Soviets were telling the truth even as they publicly discredited them.

Throughout the American occupation of Japan (1945–1952), a policy of silence regarding Unit 731 prevailed. The topic was censored in the press and omitted from war crimes proceedings. Former Unit 731 personnel were quietly placed under surveillance to ensure they weren’t talking to unwanted parties, but otherwise many resumed normal lives. Ishii himself was said to have been employed at one point at Camp Detrick in the U.S. as a consultant (though details are murky). He lived free in Japan until his death, never facing trial. The American cover-up remained so effective that when a U.S. Congressional subcommittee looked into war crimes in the late 1980s, they found that names of Unit 731 members had been largely excluded from watchlists of barred war criminals – partly because relevant documents had been classified or returned to Japan without copies being kept.

The consequences of the cover-up were far-reaching. Justice was denied for the victims – no one was held criminally accountable in an international court for the murders at Unit 731. This also meant that much of the world learned little or nothing about Japan’s biological warfare programme for decades. The truth emerged slowly, starting in the early 1950s and then with more revelations from the 1980s onward, often spurred by researchers and journalists rather than governments. In hindsight, the U.S. decision to protect Unit 731’s perpetrators is a dark footnote of the Cold War. American officials at the time justified it by the value of the information gained – although subsequent analysis by experts like historian Sheldon Harris suggests the “data” from Unit 731 was of limited scientific use, given the sloppy methodology and the fact that much of it repeated knowledge already gained through ethical research. Nonetheless, the idea of having unique data from human experiments was tempting enough that American authorities prioritized it over moral accountability.

There were, however, some post-war reckonings on a smaller scale. In 1948, the U.S. did hold a trial in Yokohama for military doctors who had vivisected American airmen – but that was a separate incident (the vivisection of downed U.S. pilots by medical faculty at Kyushu University in 1945) not directly related to Unit 731. In that case, several Japanese doctors were convicted and some executed. This only highlights the inconsistency: Japanese personnel who harmed Western servicemen were prosecuted, but those whose victims were Asian civilians were let off. Over time, scattered documents about Unit 731 leaked out and some Japanese participants decided to tell their stories, chipping away at the enforced silence.

Impact on International Law, Medicine, and Bioethics

The revelation of Unit 731’s activities—piecemeal as it was—has had a significant impact on international law and bioethics, even if this impact came years after the fact.

War crimes and international law: The atrocities of Unit 731, together with Nazi human experimentation, underscored the necessity of clear international prohibitions on such conduct. Even though the full scope of Unit 731’s crimes wasn’t public in 1947, the general awareness of horrific human experiments in WWII led to the formulation of the Nuremberg Code in 1947. This was a set of ethical research principles, arising from the Doctors’ Trial in Nuremberg, which established that voluntary consent of human subjects is absolutely essential, among other safeguards. While the Nuremberg Code was a direct response to Nazi crimes, its ethos applies equally to what Unit 731 did – indeed, had Ishii and his cohorts been in the dock, the same principles would have condemned their actions. In the realm of arms control, the use of biological weapons by Japan (along with some earlier attempts by others) helped build momentum for stronger treaties. The pre-war 1925 Geneva Protocol prohibited bacteriological warfare, but Japan (and some other nations) ignored it. After WWII, the world saw the devastating potential of these weapons, and decades later it led to the Biological Weapons Convention of 1972, which completely bans the development, stockpiling, and use of bio-weapons. One can argue that the spectre of Unit 731 loomed in the background as negotiators sought to ensure such weapons would never be used again. Indeed, during the Korean War (1950–53), allegations (disputed) of germ warfare by the U.S. and the existence of Soviet and American bioweapons programmes kept the issue urgent. Unit 731’s legacy was a cautionary tale cited by those advocating for international rules against biological warfare and for stronger enforcement of humanitarian law.

Medical ethics and human rights: Unit 731 stands alongside Auschwitz, Dachau, and other sites of unethical human experimentation as a stark lesson for the medical community. The fact that trained physicians committed these acts forced a reckoning with medical ethics. Eventually, this contributed to the development of institutional research ethics boards and the requirement of informed consent in human subject research globally. Although it took time, by the latter half of the 20th century, the medical profession widely acknowledged that the ends can never justify the means when the means involve torturing human beings. The World Medical Association’s Declaration of Helsinki (first adopted in 1964) built on the Nuremberg Code to guide doctors in research ethics – the hidden history of places like Unit 731 undoubtedly affirmed the importance of such guidelines.

Knowledge gained – and rejected: There remains an uncomfortable question: did any useful scientific or medical knowledge come out of Unit 731’s brutality? Some Japanese doctors after the war did incorporate what they had “learned” into their publications or practice (for example, insights on frostbite or transfusion reactions). However, mainstream science has largely shunned data from unethical experiments. Analyses by historians such as Sheldon Harris and Till Bärnighausen have concluded that much of Unit 731’s work lacked scientific rigor. Many experiments were poorly designed or uncontrolled (perhaps unsurprisingly, given the contempt for the subjects). The consensus is that, apart from possibly some technical know-how in mass-producing germs or certain observations on disease progression, Unit 731’s horrors did not significantly advance medicine in ways that ethical research couldn’t have. Moreover, the idea of using such data raises moral questions. After the war, American scientists reviewed the Unit 731 files – some of this information reportedly influenced early U.S. bioweapons efforts (for instance, confirming that insect vectors like fleas and flies could successfully spread plague or cholera). The Soviet biological weapons programme, according to former Soviet scientists, also used documentation captured from Unit 731 to expand their efforts in the Cold War (notably, the Soviets built a facility in Sverdlovsk partly informed by Japanese research). In that sense, Unit 731 unfortunately contributed to the post-war arms race in biological weapons. Yet, when it comes to medicine for healing, virtually nothing from Unit 731 was usable, and rightly so: data born of such unspeakable cruelty was tainted and often unreliable. In fact, the legacy of Unit 731 has reinforced a strong norm in the scientific community that ethics are integral to valid research – without ethics, the science itself is suspect.

Legal accountability and memory: International law eventually caught up, albeit very late, with some recognition of Unit 731’s crimes. In 2002, a group of Chinese survivors and families of victims sued the Japanese government for redress. The Tokyo District Court, while rejecting the claim for compensation (citing that war reparations were settled by treaties), formally acknowledged for the first time in a Japanese court that the Imperial Japanese Army had engaged in biological warfare and that Unit 731 was responsible for widespread death and suffering in China. This judicial finding – though not coupled with penalties – was symbolically significant as an official record. It highlights how issues of state responsibility for Unit 731 remained unresolved for decades, straining Japan-China relations and raising questions of justice. Furthermore, the U.S. cover-up has been criticised in light of modern norms: in 1999, the U.S. Department of Justice even added some Unit 731 veterans to a watchlist to bar their entry into the U.S., acknowledging by then that these individuals were indeed perpetrators of persecution (the DOJ’s Office of Special Investigations had to admit that many Japanese war criminals weren’t pursued earlier due to lack of documentation – documentation the US had itself suppressed).

In summary, Unit 731’s existence has served as a grim reference point in international discourse. It exemplifies the depths of depravity that military-medical programmes can reach when unchecked, reinforcing why we have global prohibitions on biological warfare and why medical researchers are bound to ethical standards. While justice was delayed and diluted, the long-term impact has been a stronger collective resolve that such crimes must never happen again and that “never again” applies not only to Nazi camps but also to places like Unit 731.

Public Memory, Debate, and Cultural Representation

For many years after WWII, Unit 731 was a suppressed chapter of history – particularly in Japan, where cold-war politics and pride impeded open discussion. However, as information gradually emerged, Unit 731 has entered public memory in different ways across countries, sparking debate and appearing in various media.

In China and East Asia: In China, where the majority of Unit 731’s victims came from, the unit’s atrocities have long been known and remembered, albeit filtered through the lens of war-era propaganda and post-war politics. During the Mao era, the Chinese government publicised some of the Soviet trial findings about Japanese germ warfare, but during the 1950s–1970s, this history took a backseat to other political campaigns. From the 1980s onward, as China opened up, there was a renewed focus on the memory of Japanese aggression, including the horrors of Unit 731. A museum was established at the former Unit 731 site in Pingfang, Harbin, preserving some of the remains of the facility (like building foundations, incinerators, etc.) and displaying documentation. This site, often referred to as the Unit 731 Museum, educates visitors about the gruesome experiments and commemorates the victims. Each year, ceremonies are held in China to remember the victims of Japan’s biological warfare. Chinese survivors (for example, those who survived plague outbreaks or whose family members were taken by the Kempeitai and never returned) have been vocal in demanding justice and acknowledgment. The issue has at times caused diplomatic friction between China and Japan, with China insisting on clearer apologies and Japan accused of downplaying wartime crimes. Unit 731 stands alongside events like the Nanjing Massacre as symbols of Japanese wartime brutality in Chinese public consciousness. Likewise, in Korea (also a victim of Japanese colonial rule and a source of some Unit 731 prisoners), there is awareness of Unit 731, though it is less central to Korean war memory than events directly on Korean soil.

In Japan: Public knowledge of Unit 731 lagged far behind. During the American occupation, any mention of Japan’s bacteriological warfare was censored. Even after regaining sovereignty in 1952, Japan’s government and society were reluctant to confront this dark aspect of the war. In the 1950s, a few incidents hinted at the past: for instance, in 1952 a former Unit 731 scientist was implicated in a bizarre hospital case where a child died from an unusual infection – raising suspicions. Japanese journalists also speculated whether certain unsolved crimes or outbreaks were connected to ex-Unit 731 members. A notable early literary work was “The Sea and Poison” (1958) by Shūsaku Endō, a novel based on the Fukuoka vivisection incident; it wasn’t about Unit 731 per se, but it broached the subject of Japanese doctors committing atrocities. However, mainstream discussion in Japan remained muted until the 1980s. Two events helped break the silence. First, Seiichi Morimura published a nonfiction novel called “The Devil’s Gluttony” in 1981 (and a sequel in 1983). These books serialized some of the known facts about Unit 731 in a popular format, shocking Japanese readers. While Morimura’s work was later criticised for including some staged atrocity photographs (which undermined his credibility initially), it nonetheless pried open a door. Second, around the same time, a number of Japanese veterans came forward with direct testimony. In 1981, a former army doctor, Ken Yuasa, openly confessed to his role in vivisecting Chinese captives (albeit not in Unit 731 but in a field hospital). This emboldened others. Through the 1980s and 1990s, Japanese media began covering Unit 731 more extensively: documentaries were made, survivors of the unit (i.e. personnel) were interviewed, and historians like Tsuneishi Keiichi and Harris published research. One remarkable documentary, “Japanese Devils” (2001), featured candid interviews with fourteen Japanese veterans (including some Unit 731 staff) who recounted their wartime crimes with remorse. Such accounts started to filter into Japanese public awareness, although they often received less attention domestically than internationally.

However, Japan also saw debate and denial. Conservative and nationalist factions in Japan were uncomfortable with exposing these war crimes, fearing it would tarnish the honour of the military or invite demands for compensation. The Japanese government’s official position for many years was to acknowledge something happened but to avoid specifics. History textbook content became a battleground. In the 1980s, historian Saburō Ienaga fought the Education Ministry over the inclusion of Unit 731 in textbooks. Initially the ministry tried to delete references, claiming there wasn’t “enough proof.” Ienaga sued, and in 1997 Japan’s Supreme Court ruled in his favour, affirming that mentioning Unit 731 was not erroneous and that the government’s censorship violated freedom of speech. Since then, Japanese high school textbooks usually mention Unit 731, though often briefly and without much detail. Still, many Japanese citizens remain only vaguely aware of it compared to, say, Hiroshima or other war events, because it isn’t emphasised in public commemoration by the state. There have been no formal apologies specifically for Unit 731 from the Japanese government, beyond general statements of remorse for “damage caused by Japan” during the war. Veterans who speak out sometimes faced backlash from nationalist groups. Despite this, Japanese civil society has groups dedicated to keeping the memory alive – for example, an association of returnees from China (former soldiers held in Chinese custody who later repented) actively testified about war crimes including germ warfare.

In the West and global awareness: Western audiences learned of Unit 731 gradually. During the Cold War, Western media treated early reports (like the Khabarovsk trial) skeptically. It wasn’t until the mid-1980s and 1990s, with declassified documents and investigative journalism, that Unit 731’s story was widely reported in the West. A landmark moment was a New York Times article in 1995 by Nicholas Kristof, titled “Unmasking Horror,” which brought the issue to mainstream English-speaking readers, including interviews with aging Japanese participants. Since then, the story has been featured in numerous history books, TV documentaries on the History Channel, BBC, etc., and online articles. The acknowledgement by the US government of its cover-up (in various reports and hearings by the 1990s) also generated media attention. In the realm of academia, Unit 731 has been studied as part of war crimes research, and it has influenced discussions about how Cold War politics allowed some perpetrators to go free.

Cultural representations: The sheer horror of Unit 731 has lent itself to portrayal in literature and film – often in very graphic, unsettling ways. In Asia, one of the most well-known depictions is the 1988 film “Men Behind the Sun,”directed by T. F. Mou in Hong Kong. This film dramatized the activities of Unit 731 in unflinching detail (including vivisection and frostbite scenes), causing controversy for its gore, but it effectively educated many about the issue. It spawned a sequel and other exploitation films in the early 1990s like “Laboratory of the Devil.” While not high art, these films ensured that knowledge of Unit 731 spread among audiences in Asia and beyond. Japanese popular culture has been more circumspect – perhaps due to taboos – but the Unit 731 story has appeared indirectly. For instance, the novel “The Narrow Road to the Deep North” (2014) by Australian author Richard Flanagan, which deals with war atrocities, references a Unit 731 doctor character. In the manga realm, a recent controversy arose in 2019 when the popular series My Hero Academia introduced a villain character named after “Maruta” (the term Unit 731 used for victims); this sparked outrage in China and prompted apologies and changes by the author, showing that references to Unit 731 can still provoke strong reactions. There have also been museum exhibits and photo galleries focusing on Unit 731. In English-language documentaries, titles like “Unit 731: Nightmare in Manchuria” or segments in World War II documentary series have covered it, often dubbing it “Japan’s Mengele” or “the Asian Auschwitz” to convey its nature to those familiar with Nazi camps.

Memory activism and debate: To this day, Unit 731 remains a point of contention. Chinese and other East Asian victims’ groups continue to seek greater acknowledgement and some form of moral or financial redress. Japan’s official stance remains that all wartime reparations were settled by the 1952 San Francisco Treaty and bilateral agreements, and it has resisted claims in its courts – Japanese courts have indeed consistently rejected compensation lawsuits by Chinese victims (including a notable one in 2007, after the 2002 ruling acknowledged the facts but denied compensation). Still, the very fact that Japanese courts now accept that Unit 731 engaged in biological warfare is a step forward from outright denial. In Japan, younger generations learn bits of this history, but activists argue it is still too glossed over. In Harbin, the Unit 731 Museum has expanded in recent years, with Chinese and international visitors increasing, indicating a growing interest in learning from this dark past. There’s also cooperation between some Japanese and Chinese scholars to document the truth.

In summary, public memory of Unit 731 is uneven – it is vivid and painful in China, relatively under-discussed (though not completely unknown) in Japan, and generally acknowledged by historians worldwide today. The debate often centers on issues of historical responsibility and remembrance: should Unit 731 be a cautionary tale taught universally alongside the Nazi Holocaust? Many believe yes, as it serves as a reminder that medical professionals are not immune to committing atrocities under certain ideologies. Representations in media continue to ensure new generations hear about Unit 731, although often with shock and disbelief that such things really happened.

Timeline of Major Events (1930s–Post-War)

• 1930: Army Doctor Shirō Ishii begins advocating for Japan to develop biological weapons. He is given a research post and starts experiments on germs at the Army Medical College in Tokyo.
• 1931: The Manchurian Incident leads to Japan’s invasion of Manchuria. The occupied territory provides Ishii a suitable location, far from prying eyes, to conduct human experimentation under military protection.
• 1932: Ishii establishes the Tōgō Unit (a precursor to Unit 731) and sets up a secret research centre near Harbin in Manchuria. Human experiments on Chinese prisoners and others begin on a limited scale at the Zhongma Fortress facility.
• August 1934: A mass escape from Zhongma Fortress occurs. Dozens of prisoners break out; although many die or are recaptured, some survive to tell of atrocious human experiments. In response, Japanese authorities shut down Zhongma to prevent further leaks.
• 1935: Construction of a new, larger complex at Pingfang (Harbin) is underway to replace Zhongma. This site is built specifically to be bomb-resistant and self-contained, with laboratories, prisons, crematoriums, and manufacturing plants for pathogens.
• 1936: Unit 731 is officially formed by order of the Imperial Japanese Army, under the euphemistic title “Kwantung Army Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Unit.” Shirō Ishii is appointed commander. The Pingfang complex becomes operational, and the first batch of prisoners (Chinese anti-Japanese fighters, criminals, etc.) arrive as test subjects.
• 1937: The Second Sino-Japanese War erupts (full-scale invasion of China). This provides Ishii’s unit with an abundance of prisoners and funding amid the wartime climate. Human experiments ramp up drastically. Unit 731 now has a steady supply line of captives via the military police (Kempeitai).
• 1938: Pingfang facility expands. Ishii proposes novel weapons like ceramic bombs to disperse plague-infected fleas. The construction of satellite units and sub-branches across Manchukuo and occupied China accelerates.
• 1939: By now, Ishii’s researchers have identified a set of especially virulent strains of pathogens for weaponisation (including plague, cholera, anthrax, typhoid). Late in 1939, Unit 731 conducts some small-scale filed tests of biological agents on battlefields (for instance, during conflicts with Soviet/Mongolian forces at Nomonhan/Khalkhin Gol, although results are inconclusive).
• 1940: First major germ warfare attacks are carried out in China. In Ningbo (east China) and certain villages in Zhijiang (Hunan), Japanese aircraft disseminate plague-infected fleas and drop pathogen-laced materials, causing outbreaks among the Chinese population. These operations, orchestrated by Unit 731 and Unit 1644, mark the world’s first air-delivered biological strikes.
• 1941: A particularly lethal biological attack occurs at Changde, Hunan. Through a combination of aerial drops and contaminating water and food, Japanese forces trigger epidemics of cholera, plague, and other diseases. Thousands of Chinese die, and the event is documented by Chinese and Allied medical personnel. (The Changde attack is later used as evidence in war crimes accusations.) Around this time, some Japanese soldiers also fall victim to these germs, highlighting the difficulty of controlling biological weapons.
• Dec 1941: Japan attacks Pearl Harbor and the Pacific War begins. Unit 731, though still mainly focused on China, now also contemplates use of its arsenal against Western Allies if needed. Throughout 1942–43, Ishii’s unit continues regular human experimentation, while also producing large stocks of bacteria.
• 1942: Colonel Masaji Kitano takes command of Unit 731 (while Ishii ostensibly takes a staff position in Tokyo for a period). The experiments intensify. Meanwhile, in occupied China, Japanese troops embarking on the Zhejiang-Jiangxi campaign (mid-1942, after the Doolittle Raid) resort to biological warfare as retaliation: withdrawing Japanese forces scatter plague and cholera in Chinese villages, causing many deaths (and also killing an estimated 1,700 Japanese troops by accident). This is one of the last widespread uses of germ warfare in WWII.
• 1944: As Japan’s situation grows desperate, Unit 731 explores bold schemes. Ishii returns to Manchuria and is said to propose “Operation PX” – a plan to attack the United States mainland with biological weapons. Specifically, a night-time submarine-launched air raid on California was conceived, intending to spread plague, cholera, and other pathogens in American cities. Operation PX (Cherry Blossoms at Night) is approved by naval and army leaders in principle and scheduled for late 1945. However, in spring 1945, Japan’s military cancel the plan, partly due to some high command objections (General Yoshijirō Umezu vetoes it fearing global condemnation), and partly because Japan’s impending defeat made it unfeasible.
• Early 1945: Unit 731’s output is at its peak. Huge quantities of germs and vectors are stockpiled with the view to use them if the Allies invade Japan or in last-ditch operations in China. Some germ bombs are actually deployed in dwindling campaigns in China with limited success. On the other side of the world, the Allies are uncovering Nazi medical crimes as they liberate camps, but have little inkling of the ongoing parallel crimes in Asia.
• August 1945: The war comes to an abrupt end after the atomic bombings and Soviet declaration of war on Japan. With Soviet forces overrunning Manchuria, General Ishii orders Unit 731 to evacuate and destroy evidence. On August 10–15, the Japanese demolish parts of the Pingfang site with explosives. Hundreds of remaining prisoners are massacred. Ishii instructs the personnel to keep silent, reportedly telling them to “not reveal any secrets, as Americans will be unaware.” He also orders remaining disease cultures and fleas to be released or destroyed. The Soviet Red Army enters Harbin soon after and discovers the wreckage of the compound and some clues of its function (such as buried corpses, scattered documents, lab equipment).
• September 1945: American occupation forces in Japan learn initial details about a “special unit” from Japanese informants. Colonel Murray Sanders arrives in Yokohama and begins questioning figures like microbiologist Hideo Futagi (who reveals general info on Unit 731’s existence). The Japanese are initially cagey, fearing war crimes charges.
• Late 1945: Under threat of being handed to the Soviets, several Unit 731 scientists, including possibly Ishii via intermediaries, hand over reports to the Americans. A secret report is compiled by US investigators detailing the human experiments – it is classified “Top Secret” and not shared with other Allied prosecutors.
• January 1946: The International Military Tribunal for the Far East (Tokyo War Crimes Trial) opens. No Unit 731 staff are on trial. Throughout 1946, despite some awareness by Chinese and Soviet authorities, the Allies (under US lead) refrain from introducing evidence of Japan’s biological warfare at Tokyo. Only in August does Chinese prosecutor Xiang Zhejun mention “bacteriological experiments,” but it’s quickly dropped. Behind the scenes, General MacArthur informs Washington that granting immunity to Ishii and others is advisable to gain their cooperation. This policy is quietly endorsed.
• 1947–1948: Unit 731’s data is vetted at Fort Detrick in the US. Ishii and Kitano reportedly meet with US officers under guarantee of immunity. Meanwhile, the US-run Yokohama trials prosecute lesser war criminals. Notably, in 1948 several Japanese doctors from Kyushu University are tried for vivisecting US POWs; some are executed, drawing a sharp contrast to the treatment of Unit 731’s men, who are kept out of the spotlight. In late 1948, the main Tokyo Trial concludes with top Japanese leaders convicted (many executed), but Unit 731 is never mentioned in the verdicts.
• December 1949: The Khabarovsk Trials in the USSR publicly try 12 Japanese officers/scientists for germ warfare. They are convicted and sentenced to labor camps. The trial’s findings – including details about Unit 731 and its 3,000+ victims – are published in early 1950 in multiple languages. Western governments dismiss these as propaganda, and the issue receives scant press in the West. However, in Japan and China, the Khabarovsk trial does make some news, contributing to partial early knowledge of Unit 731, albeit filtered through Cold War distrust.
• 1950: In Japan, ex-Unit 731 officials Masaji Kitano and Ryoichi Naitō found Green Cross, a pharmaceutical firm. Many former Unit 731 medical personnel reestablish themselves: some join universities, some enter government health positions. Ishii, keeping a low profile, allegedly works as a consultant for biological matters for the US Occupation for a while and later for Japan’s National Institute of Health. The Korean War erupts; unverified claims arise (especially from China and North Korea) that Ishii or Unit 731 veterans assisted the US in alleged biological warfare during that conflict – this remains a topic of historical debate.
• 1952: Japan regains independence with the San Francisco Peace Treaty. This treaty does not explicitly address Unit 731, effectively closing the chapter on official Allied prosecutions. The same year, an incident at a hospital in Nagoya (the “Shirō Ishii fever” incident) – where a child died of strange infection – leads to rumours that former Unit 731 members might have been involved in human experimentation under the cover of medical care. Also in 1952, a high-profile murder case (Teigin Incident) sees speculation (later disproven) that Unit 731’s poison expertise was used. These events spark some Japanese public curiosity about what these former military doctors had done in the war.
• 1954–1958: Scattered Japanese media reports and novels touch on Japan’s biological warfare. Shūsaku Endō’s novel “The Sea and Poison” (1958) fictionalises a wartime medical atrocity, hinting at the broader issue of doctors committing crimes. Yet, at a state level, nothing is addressed and many Japanese remain unaware of the Unit 731 story.
• 1960s: Some former Unit 731 scientists publish research openly based on their wartime findings (e.g. an article on epidemic hemorrhagic fever by Dr. Ikeda in 1969). These go largely unnoticed as confessions, but historians later identify them as examples of how the Japanese medical establishment tacitly knew of the human experiments.
• 1972: The Biological Weapons Convention is signed (entering into force in 1975). Japan signs on, affirming it will never seek biological weapons again. While not directly referencing Unit 731, the global consensus underlying the BWC is partly shaped by awareness of historical programs like Japan’s and fears of their consequences.
• 1981: Publication of “The Devil’s Gluttony” by Seiichi Morimura ignites public discussion in Japan. Although controversies about the book’s use of fake photos arise, it sells widely and many Japanese readers learn the term “Unit 731” for the first time. Around this time, the first Japanese veterans begin coming forward with personal admissions. Also in 1981, a Tokyo court case (brought by historian Saburō Ienaga) challenges textbook censorship of war crimes, including Unit 731.
• 1982: The Japanese Ministry of Education tries to remove content about Unit 731 from a textbook, claiming lack of evidence. This becomes a cause célèbre, and by 1983–84 new evidence (including US archive documents and testimony) forces the ministry to relent. Unit 731’s existence and basic outline make it into some textbooks.
• 1989: Harbin in China opens the initial iteration of the Unit 731 Museum on the remains of the Pingfang site, preserving it as a historical monument. This is accompanied by Chinese publications of survivors’ accounts of biological attacks and calls for Japan to admit the truth.
• 1993: The subject of Unit 731 is raised in the context of truth and reconciliation. In Japan, a documentary featuring interviews with ex-members airs (NHK and other outlets gradually address it). Internationally, Japan’s record on wartime human experimentation is discussed as Tokyo seeks a larger peacekeeping role (some point out unresolved issues like Unit 731).
• 1995: The New York Times runs an extensive story “Unmasking Horror,” bringing Unit 731 to wider Western attention and revealing aspects of the U.S. cover-up. Around the same time, the Clinton Administration declassifies some WWII documents; the Hart Report (a US government report) confirms that immunity was given to Unit 731 members in exchange for data.
• 1997: Japan’s Supreme Court, in historian Ienaga’s lawsuit, rules that the government’s attempt to alter textbook passages on Unit 731 was illegal, effectively acknowledging that Unit 731’s atrocities are historically substantiated. This is a landmark in the fight against denial in Japan.
• 2002: In August, the Tokyo District Court verdict in a case brought by Chinese victims makes a formal judicial acknowledgment that Unit 731 engaged in biological warfare and caused tremendous harm. Judge Koji Iwata notes the Imperial Japanese Army used plague and other pathogens in China. However, he dismisses the plaintiffs’ claim for compensation, citing international agreements. On the same day, 2003: Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi responds to a parliamentary inquiry about Unit 731 by saying the government “has no records” but recognises the gravity of the issue and would disclose any records if found. This non-committal answer typifies the still-cautious official stance.
• 2010s: Scholarship and activism continue. In 2011, excavations in Tokyo at the site of a former army medical school uncover bones and remains that some believe are from human experiments (perhaps related to Unit 731’s Tokyo branch). In 2018, responding to a request by Professor Katsuo Nishiyama, the National Archives of Japan releases the roster of 3,607 Unit 731 members, putting many names in the public domain for the first time. Media in Japan and abroad cover this, reinforcing the historical reality. Chinese and South Korean delegations attend remembrance events in Harbin. Meanwhile, incidents like the My Hero Academia “Maruta” naming controversy (2020) show that the legacy of Unit 731 can still stir public outcry, especially in East Asia, if handled insensitively.
• 2020s: Unit 731 is by now well-documented history. Documentaries, both academic and popular, are readily available; survivors of Japan’s wartime aggression continue to urge reconciliation. The topic remains sensitive in Japan but is no longer taboo. Researchers worldwide draw lessons from Unit 731 in fields ranging from bioethics to the study of WMDs (weapons of mass destruction). In 2021, as the COVID-19 pandemic rages, some scientists even speculated about accessing long-sequestered data from Unit 731 about human pathogen studies – a suggestion met with ethical concerns and likely not acted upon, but indicative that the ghost of Unit 731 still hovers in scientific discussions occasionally.

Conclusion

Unit 731 stands as a grim testament to the depths of human cruelty in wartime and the dangerous intersection of science and militarism. From its origins as a covert research project in colonial Manchuria, it grew into an apparatus of terror that subjected thousands to nightmarish suffering – all in the name of advancing knowledge and warfare. The story of Unit 731 is not only about the unfathomable atrocities committed, but also about subsequent attempts to conceal those crimes and the long struggle to bring them to light. For decades, the full truth was suppressed by both the perpetrators and, at times, by those who found it politically inconvenient. Yet, truth has a way of emerging. Today, the name Unit 731 has taken its place in the annals of infamy alongside Auschwitz, Dachau, and other sites of WWII barbarity.

The legacy of Unit 731 has had complex ramifications. Internationally, it helped galvanize efforts to ban biological weapons and set ethical standards to prevent abusive human experimentation. In medicine and academia, it serves as a somber case study in violating the Hippocratic Oath, reminding each new generation of doctors and scientists that there are lines that must never be crossed, even under orders or in pursuit of breakthroughs. For the countries affected – China, Japan, Korea, and others – Unit 731 remains an open wound and a topic demanding honest confrontation as part of war memory and reconciliation.

Unit 731’s narrative is a cautionary tale of how war can corrupt science and how easily human rights can be trampled under secretive, authoritarian systems. It underscores the importance of transparency, accountability, and the rule of law. The brave testimonies of former Unit 731 personnel and the persistence of investigators and historians have ensured that the world cannot forget these events. By remembering Unit 731, humanity honours the victims and hopefully steers future generations away from repeating such atrocities. The story, as horrific as it is, must be told and retold – as a warning from history written in the blood of its silent victims.

Rev 21:8, “But for the cowardly, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and sexually immoral 

persons, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part will be in the Lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

1Jo 5:19, “We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.”

1.) The Lord is the True God.

Jer 10:10, “But the LORD is the true God;

He is the living God and the everlasting King.

The earth quakes at His wrath,

And the nations cannot endure His indignation.”

Ellicott’s Commentary for English Readers

•  The Lord is the true God.—Literally, Jehovah is the God that is Truth. The thought expressed is that for which St. John, as indeed the LXX. does here, uses the word alēthinos (John 17:3; 1John 5:20), Truth in its highest and most perfect form. So “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6).

An everlasting king.—Here, as in other like passages, the English Version is not wrong, but the Hebrew idiom “King of Eternity” is far grander.”

• )  The only true God.

Jhn 17:3, “And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.”

Ellicott’s Commentary for English Readers

(3) And this is life eternal.—For these words, which are more frequent in St. John than in any other of the New Testament writers, comp. John 3:15-16; John 3:36; John 5:24; John 5:39; John 6:27; John 6:40; John 6:47; John 6:54; John 6:68; John 10:28; John 12:25; John 12:50; 1John 1:2; 1John 2:15; 1John 3:15; 1John 5:11; 1John 5:13; 1John 5:20. The thought of the previous verse is that the Messianic work of Christ is to give eternal life to those whom God has given Him. The thought of the following verse is that He has accomplished this work. In this verse He shows in what its accomplishment consists—viz., in revealing to men the only true God through Jesus Christ.

That they might know thee the only true God.—Better, That they might recognise Thee as the only true God. (Comp. Notes on John 1:9; 

And Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.—Better, And Him, whom Thou didst send, Jesus, as Messiah. Eternal life consists in the knowledge of the Father as the only Being answering to the ideal thought of God; and in this knowledge manifested in Him, whom God anointed and sent into the world-to declare His attributes and character. Only in the Word made flesh can we hear the voice of mercy, forgiveness, love, fatherhood; which comes to men as the breath of life, so that they become living souls.

3.)  The Living and True God.

1Th 1:9, “For they themselves report about us as to the kind of reception we had with you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the Living and True God.”

Ellicott’s Commentary for English Readers

•  They themselves—i.e., the inhabitants of those countries. “Wherever we go we find our own story told us.”

Shew.—Rather, announce. Both sides of the story are told: (1) of us—what kind of entry we made among you, explained in 1Thessalonians 2:1-12 to mean with “the word of truth, of meekness, and righteousness” (Psalm 45:5); (2) of you—how truly converted you were, as he proceeds to show further in 1Thessalonians 2:13 to 1Thessalonians 3:13.

Living and true God.—In contrast to the lifeless and false idols. The Thessalonians had been Gentiles, Perhaps St. Paul was thinking of his own speech on Mars Hill, which had been recently uttered.”

4.)  The True God and eternal life.

1Jo 5:20, “And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.”

Benson Commentary

1 John 5:20-21. We know — By all these infallible proofs; that the Son of God is come — Into the world; and hath given us an understanding — Hath enlightened our minds; that we may know him that is true — The living and true God, namely, the Father, of whom the apostle appears here to speak; and we are in him that is true — In his favour, and in a state of union and fellowship with him; even — This particle is not in the Greek; in — Or rather; through; his Son Jesus Christ — Through whose mediation alone we can have access to, or intercourse with, the Father. This — Ουτος, he, namely, Christ, the person last mentioned; is the true God and eternal life — He partakes with the Father in proper Deity, and our immortal life is supported by union with him. Little — Or beloved; children, keep yourselves from idols — From all false worship of images, or of any creature, and from every inward idol: from loving, desiring, fearing any thing more than God. Seek all help and defence from evil, all happiness, in the true God alone.

5.)  True Laws

Neh 9:13, “Then You came down on Mount Sinai,

And spoke with them from Heaven; You gave

them just ordinances and True Laws, good 

statutes and commandments.”

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 13. – Right judgments, true laws, good statutes, etc., are expressions which imply an immutable morality, a standard of right and wrong antecedent to command or precept, which standard is doubtless the eternal goodness of God himself. The repetition of the epithets here shows the composer of the form to be penetrated with the spirit of admiration for God’s commandments which breathes so remarkably through the whole of Psalm 119. Nehemiah 9:13.”

6.)  True Reward.

Pro 11:18, “A wicked person earns deceptive wages,

But one who sows righteousness gets a True 

Reward.”

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 18. – A deceitful work; work that brings no reward or profit, belying hope, like “fundus mendax” of Horace, ‘Od.,’ 3:1, 30. The Septuagint has, “unrighteous works,” which seems a jejune rendering, and does not bring out the contrast of the sure reward in the second member (comp. Proverbs 10:2, 16). To him that soweth righteousness (Hosea 10:12; Galatians 6:8, 9). To “sow righteousness” is to act righteously, to live in such a way that the result is holiness. The “reward,” in a Jew’s eyes, would be a long life in which to enjoy the fruits of his good conduct. We Christians have a better hope, which is, perhaps, adumbrated by this analogy: as the seed sown in the field does not produce its fruit till the time of harvest, so righteousness meets with its full recompense only in the great harvest at the end of all things. The Revised Version renders, The wicked earnnth deceitful wages: but he that soweth righteousness hath a sure reward. This makes a good antithesis. The Septuagint renders the last clause, “but the seed of the righteous is a true reward (μισθὸς ἀληθείας).” Proverbs 11:18.”

• )  True And Faithful Witness

Jer 42:5, “Then they said to Jeremiah, “May the LORD be a True And Faithful Witness against us if we do not act in accordance with the whole message with which the LORD your God will send you to us.”

Gill’s Exposition of the Entire Bible

Then they said to Jeremiah, the Lord be a true and faithful witness between us,…. Which is the form of an oath; a solemn appeal to God, as a witness to what they were about to say, and to the sincerity of their hearts in it; who is true to his word, and faithful to his promises and threatenings; and who bears a true and faithful testimony, and will do what is just and right; and yet these people never intended to perform what they promised; which is a most shocking piece of atheism in a professing people; and who, at this very time, could not but observe the judgments of God upon their nation, city, and temple:

if we do not even according to all things for the which the Lord thy God shall send thee to us; they promise to do everything the Lord should signify by the prophet as his will; and, if they did not, wish the severest judgments of God might fall upon them.”

Rev 3:14, “To the angel of the church in Laodicea 

write: The Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Origin of the creation of God, says this:”

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

1. Laodiceans—The city was in the southwest of Phrygia, on the river Lycus, not far from Colosse, and lying between it and Philadelphia. It was destroyed by an earthquake, A.D. 62, and rebuilt by its wealthy citizens without the help of the state [Tacitus, Annals, 14.27]. This wealth (arising from the excellence of its wools) led to a self-satisfied, lukewarm state in spiritual things, as Re 3:17 describes. See on [2683]Col 4:16, on the Epistle which is thought to have been written to the Laodicean Church by Paul. The Church in latter times was apparently flourishing; for one of the councils at which the canon of Scripture was determined was held in Laodicea in A.D. 361. Hardly a Christian is now to be found on or near its site.

the Amen—(Isa 65:16, Hebrew, “Bless Himself in the God of Amen … swear by the God of Amen,” 2Co 1:20). He who not only says, but is, the Truth. The saints used Amen at the end of prayer, or in assenting to the word of God; but none, save the Son of God, ever said, “Amen, I say unto you,” for it is the language peculiar to God, who avers by Himself. The New Testament formula, “Amen. I say unto you,” is equivalent to the Old Testament formula, “as I live, saith Jehovah.” In John’s Gospel alone He uses (in the Greek) the double “Amen,” Joh 1:51; 3:3, &c.; in English Version,” Verily, verily.” The title happily harmonizes with the address. His unchanging faithfulness as “the Amen” contrasts with Laodicea’s wavering of purpose, “neither hot nor cold” (Re 3:16). The angel of Laodicea has with some probability been conjectured to be Archippus, to whom, thirty years previously, Paul had already given a monition, as needing to be stirred up to diligence in his ministry. So the Apostolic Constitutions, [8.46], name him as the first bishop of Laodicea: supposed to be the son of Philemon (Phm 2).

faithful and true witness—As “the Amen” expresses the unchangeable truth of His promises; so “the faithful the true witness,” the truth of His revelations as to the heavenly things which He has seen and testifies. “Faithful,” that is, trustworthy (2Ti 2:11, 13). “True” is here (Greek, “alethinos”) not truth-speaking (Greek, “alethes”), but “perfectly realizing all that is comprehended in the name Witness” (1Ti 6:13). Three things are necessary for this: (1) to have seen with His own eyes what He attests; (2) to be competent to relate it for others; (3) to be willing truthfully to do so. In Christ all these conditions meet [Trench].

beginning of the creation of God—not he whom God created first, but as in Col 1:15-18 (see on [2684]Col 1:15-18), the Beginner of all creation, its originating instrument. All creation would not be represented adoring Him, if He were but one of themselves. His being the Creator is a strong guarantee for His faithfulness as “the Witness and Amen.”

8.)  True Justice

Eze 18:8, “and if he does not lend money at interest or take interest, if he keeps his hand from injustice 

and executes True Justice between one person

and another.”

Ellicott’s Commentary for English Readers

•  Given forth upon usury.—In Scripture usury does not mean excessive interest, as often in modern legislation, but any interest at all. This was strictly forbidden in the law to be taken of any Hebrew, though allowed, without limit as to amount, from foreigners. It had nothing to do with the regulation of commercial transactions, but was simply a law of kindness to a fellow member of the same household of faith in a primitive state of society. The Israelite was to lend freely to his impoverished neighbour to assist him, but without any expectation of gain for himself.

Executed true judgment.—This applies, of course, especially and directly to judicial sentences, but extends also to all cases in which one is brought to intervene in any way in transactions between others. What is required is absolute fairness, truthfulness, and integrity in the constant transactions of man with man.”

9.)  True Instruction.

Mal 2:6, “True instruction was in his mouth and injustice was not found on his lips; he walked with Me in peace and justice, and he turned many back from wrongdoing.”

Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges

•  The law of truth] Teaching, as a function of the priesthood, entered into the original idea and constitution of the office (Deuteronomy 33:10; Leviticus 10:11), and was revived in connection with it after the return from Babylon (Ezra 7:10; Ezra 7:25; Nehemiah 8:1-8). To be without “a teaching priest” was a national calamity (2 Chronicles 15:3).
  And iniquity] Rather And unrighteousness, R.V. This clause refers perhaps to the judicial decisions of the priest (Deuteronomy 17:8-13), as being without respect of persons and uninfluenced by bribes. (Deuteronomy 16:18-19.)
  he walked with me &c.] Comp. Genesis 5:22; Genesis 5:24; Genesis 6:9. The walk of the priest, in the peace of a right relation to God, and the uprightness (R.V.) of a holy life, accorded with his teaching and his judicial sentences, and as the result of both he turned many away from iniquity.
  “What a history of zeal for the glory of God and the conversion of sinners in those, of whom the world knows nothing; of whose working, but for the three words (many he-turned-away from-iniquity) in the closing book of the Old Testament, we should have known nothing!” Pusey.”

10.)  True Wealth.

Luk 16:11, “Therefore if you have not been faithful in the use of unrighteous wealth, who will entrust the 

True Wealth to you?”

Barnes’ Notes on the Bible

Who will commit … – If you are not faithful in the small matters pertaining to this world, if you do not use aright your property and influence, you cannot expect that God will commit to you the true riches of his grace. Men who are dishonest and worldly, and who do not employ the deceitful mammon as they ought, cannot expect to grow in grace. God does not confer grace upon them, and their being unfaithful in earthly matters is evidence that they “would be” also in much greater affairs, and would likewise “misimprove” the true riches.

True riches – The graces of the gospel; the influences of the Spirit; eternal life, or religion. The riches of this world are false, deceitful, not to be trusted Luke 16:9; the treasures of heaven are “true,” faithful, never-failing, Matthew 6:19-20.”

11.)  The True Light.

Jhn 1:9, “This was theTrue Light that, coming into the world, enlightens every person.”

Ellicott’s Commentary for English Readers

•  That was the true Light.—The right rendering of this verse is uncertain. It would, probably, give a better sense to translate it, The true Light which lighteth every man was coming into the world, i.e., was manifesting itself at the time when John was bearing witness and men were mistaking the lamp for the light. (Comp. John 5:35, Note.)

The true Light was not “true” as opposed to “false,” but “true” as answering to the perfect ideal, and as opposed to all more or less imperfect representations. The meaning of the Greek is quite clear. The difficulty arises from the fact that in English there is but one word to represent the two ideas. The word for the fuller meaning of “ideally true” is not confined to St. John, but is naturally of very frequent recurrence in his writings. The adjective is used nine times in this Gospel, and not at all in the other three. A comparison of the passages will show how important it is to get a right conception of what the word means, and will help to give it. (See John 4:23; John 4:37; John 6:32; John 7:28; John 8:16; John 15:1; John 17:3; John 19:35.) But, as ideally true, the Light was not subject to the changing conditions of time and space, but was and is true for all humanity, and “lighteth every man.”

1Jo 2:8, “On the other hand, I am writing a new commandment to you, which is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the True Light is already shining.”

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 8. – Again. The πάλιν indicates another point of view – what in one sense was not fresh, in another sense was so. It is impossible to be certain as to the meaning of ὅ ἐστιν ἀληθὲς κ.τ.λ.. It may mean
(1) “which thing (the newness of the command) is true;” or
(2) “as a fresh commandment I am writing to you a thing which is true.”
But for the practical example of the life of Christ, and men’s acceptance of it, the command to love one’s neighbour might have remained old and become obsolete. Ὅτι is almost certainly “because,” not “that;” it introduces the reason why he writes, not the substance of, the fresh commandment. How can “the darkness is passing away,” etc., be a commandment? The light, the true light τὸ φῶς τὸ ἀληθινόν; i.e., the real, the perfect, the very light, that which most fully realizes the ideal of light; in opposition to those “wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness hath been reserved for ever” (Jude 1:13; cf. John 1:4, 9; John 6:32; John 15:1). Christ is the perfect Light, as he is the perfect Bread and the perfect Vine. 1 John 2:8.”

12.)  The True Worshipers.

Jhn 4:23, “But the time is coming, and even now has arrived, when the True Worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers.”

Ellicott’s Commentary for English Readers

•  But the hour cometh.—Better, as in John 4:21, but there cometh an hour. He adds to this thought, what He could not add to the previous one, “and now is.” Local worship was not yet giving way to spiritual; but a band of true worshippers was being gathered, and some were then following Him.

The true worshippers.—Her distinction of place was of the accident, but the essence was the nature of the worship. What could any worship be to a God who saw the impurity of the heart, and the contradiction of thought and word? What could she know of the worship of which she speaks? Yes; and the temple at Jerusalem was a house of merchandise, instead of one of prayer; what did priest and Levite, scribe and Pharisee, know of true worship?I

In spirit and in truth.—The link between human nature and the divine is in the human spirit, which is the shrine of the Holy Spirit (1Corinthians 6:19). All true approach to God must therefore be in spirit. (Comp. Romans 1:9, and Ephesians 6:18.) Place, and time, and words, and postures, and sounds, and all things from without, are important only in so far as they aid in abstraction from the sensible world, and in elevation of the spirit within. The moment they distract they hinder true worship. Ritual cannot be discussed without risk of spiritual loss. The words “in truth,” already expressed in true worshippers, and repeated in the following verse, are more than “truly.” Sincerity is not a test of acceptable worship, though it is a requisite. Bigots sincerely think they do God’s service. Worship which is “in truth” is in harmony with the nature of the God whom we worship. To think of God in hearing His truth, to kindle the soul by hymns of praise, to realise the earlier portions of collects and prayers which utter His attributes, are necessary to the truth of the petitions, and thanksgivings, and adorations of worship. The model prayer of Christianity brings home to the heart the Fatherhood of God in its first words.

For the Father seeketh such to worship him.—Better, for such the Father also seeketh His worshippers to be. The word “such,” i.e., of this character, is emphatic. The “also” expresses that the worship, on the part of the true worshippers, is in accordance with the divine will: “the Father also (on His part) . . .” The reader will not fail to note the emphasis in this reply on the word “Father” (John 4:21 and twice in this verse). This name of God, which we teach children to lisp in earliest years, came to her, it may be, now for the first time. He is not Vengeance to be appeased, nor Power to be dreaded, but Love to be received. (Comp. Note on John 3:16.) It is when men learn to think of God as Father that merely local and material worship must cease. The universal desire and practice of worship is the witness to a universal object of worship. The yearning of the human spirit is that of a child seeking the author of his being. The seeking is not human only. The Father also seeketh His child, and seeth him when he is a great way off (Luke 15:20).”

13.)  The True Bread out of  Heaven.

Jhn 6:32, “Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread out of heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the True Bread out of Heaven.”

Benson Commentary

John 6:32-33. Jesus said, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven — It was not Moses who in ancient times gave the manna to your fathers, neither was the manna bread from heaven, though it be so called by the psalmist, on account of the thing which it typified: for it dropped from the air only; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven — It was my Father that gave to your ancestors the manna, and he now giveth you the true spiritual, heavenly bread, of which the manna was only a symbolical representation, and which is sufficient to sustain, not a single nation only, but the whole world. For the bread of God — The bread only worthy of that name; is he — Or rather, is that which cometh down, as ο καταβαινων should here be rendered, being a participle, referring to ο αρτος, the bread, which is of the masculine gender: for it appears, from what follows, that our Lord did not intend at once to lay aside the veil, wherein he had wrapped his meaning: for the request made to him in the very next verse, Give us always this bread, shows that he was not yet understood as speaking of a person, which he must have been if his expression had been as explicit as that of our translation. From heaven — Not from the aerial, but from the highest heavens; and giveth life unto the world — Not that which preserveth a mere temporal life to one people only, but imparteth spiritual and eternal life to as many of the whole world as will be persuaded to partake of it; and that from generation to generation.”

14.)  I AM the True Vine.

Jhn 15:1, “I AM the True Vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.”

Ellicott’s Commentary for English Readers

•  I am the true vine.—For the word “true,” comp. Note on John 1:9. The ideal truth, of which the natural vine is a figure, is fulfilled in Him. The thought is introduced suddenly, and with nothing in the context to lead up to it. The natural explanation of this is, that here, as in other instances, it was suggested by some external object which met the eye. If we suppose (comp. Note on John 14:31) that they were crossing the valley on the way to Gethsemane, there is reason for the idea that they passed a vineyard, that supplied the form in which our Lord’s thoughts are expressed; but the journey itself, during the discourse, is improbable; and the sight of a vineyard is the less likely, as it was night. On the supposition that they were still in the room where they had eaten supper, a vine whose tendrils grew into the room, or the vine carved on the doors of the Temple (Jos. Wars, v. 5, § 4; Ant. xv. 11, § 3), or the vineyards seen in the distance by moonlight, or the vine suggested by “the fruit of the vine” of which they had drunk, have been suggested. Of these the last has most probability, as bound up with the significance of the cup of which they had drunk that night. We cannot say more than this. The imagery may have followed from some incident, or custom, or remark, now wholly unknown to us. It was, as in the case of the Good Shepherd, familiar to them from the Old Testament, and would have come to their minds from any slight suggestion. (See, e.g., the following passages: Psalm 80:8-19; Isaiah 5:1 et seq.; Jeremiah 2:21; Ezekiel 19:10.) It seems to have been expressed also in Rabbinic precepts, e.g., “Whosoever dreameth of a vine-branch shall see the Messiah.” (Berachoth, fol. 89.)

And my Father is the husbandman.—Comp. Matthew 21:33 et seq.; Mark 12:1 et seq.; Luke 20:9 et seq. The thought here is of the owner of the vine, who himself cultivates and trains it.’”

15.)  The True Circumcision.

Phl 3:3, “for we are the True Circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God and take pride in Christ Jesus, and put no confidence in the flesh.”

Ellicott’s Commentary for English Readers

•  We are the circumcision.—So in Colossians 2:11-12, evidently alluding to baptism as the spiritual circumcision, he says, “In whom ye were circumcised with the circumcision made without hands.” Comp. Romans 2:20, “Circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter;” and passages of a similar character in the Old Testament, such as Deuteronomy 10:16, “Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your hearts;” Deuteronomy 30:6, “The Lord God will circumcise thine heart.” Hence the spirit of St. Stephen’s reproach, “Ye uncircumcised in heart and ears” (Acts 7:51).

Which worship God in the spirit . . .—The true reading here is, who worship by the Spirit of God, the word “worship,” or service, being that which is almost technically applied to the worship of the Israelites as God’s chosen people (Acts 26:7; Romans 9:4; Hebrews 9:1; Hebrews 9:6), and which, with the addition of the epithet “reasonable,” is claimed for the Christian devotion to God in Christ (see Romans 12:1). Such “worship by the Spirit of God” St. Paul describes in detail in Romans 8, especially in Romans 8:26-27.

And rejoice (or rather, glory) in Christ Jesus.—Comp. Romans 15:17, “I have therefore whereof I may glory in the Lord Jesus Christ,” and the Old Testament quotation (from Jeremiah 9:23-24) twice applied to our Lord, “He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord” (1Corinthians 1:31; 2Corinthians 10:17). In Galatians 6:14 we have a still more distinctive expression, “God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.” To glory in Christ is something more than even to believe and to trust in Him; it expresses a deep sense of privilege, both in present thankfulness and in future hope.

In the flesh.—The phrase is used here, as not unfrequently, for the present and visible world, to which we are linked by our flesh (see John 8:15, “to judge after the flesh;” 2Corinthians 5:16, “to know Christ after the flesh,” &c.) We have an equivalent phrase in an earlier passage, which is throughout parallel to this (2Corinthians 11:18), “Many glory after the flesh.” The particular form of expression is probably suggested by the constant reference to the circumcision, which is literally “in the flesh.”

16.)  True Knowledge.

Col 3:10, “and have put on the new self, which is being renewed to a True Knowledge according to the image of the One who created it—”

We have learned that human knowledge is not true knowledge. We know EVEN General MacAurthur

falsified and covered up Japanese war crimes.

Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges

1.  and have put on] See the last note but one. Cp. Ephesians 4:24; and Colossians 3:12 below, with note.
   the new man] Practically, the new position of acceptance and the new spiritual power of the regenerated self; with a reference in the phrase to the believer’s connexion with “the Second Man,” Christ[85].
   [85] In the Ignatian Epistles (Ep. ad Eph. c. xx.) occurs the phrase, “the dispensation of the New Man, even Christ.” If this was written as early as a.d. 110 it is an important comment here.
   By union with Him his members become (be it said with reverence and caution) repetitions of Him the glorious Archetype. To come to be “in Him” is thus to “put on (Him as) the New Man,” in sharing His acceptance and His life and power. See further, our note on Ephesians 4:24.
   is renewed] Lit. and better, is being renewed; a present not aorist participle.—In the parallel place in Eph. “the new man” “was created,” as a definite fact; here he is continuously “being renewed,” maintained as it were by a continuous creative act. (Cp. for the verb in a kindred context, 2 Corinthians 4:16.)—Practically, the thought is of the believer’s maintained union with His Lord, and his realization in that union of continued peace and spiritual power. As if the Head, for the member, were evermore “made new,” and so always newly reflected and as it were reproduced in the member.—Lightfoot compares, in contrast, Ephesians 4:22; “the old man is being corrupted, is decaying.”
   in knowledge] Lit. and better, unto knowledge. The daily “renewal” is such as to result continually in the regenerate man’s spiritual vision of Christ, intimacy with Him, insight into His will.—On the word epignôsis, see on Colossians 1:9.
   after the image of him that created him] I.e., so as to be like God, who “created,” constituted, the new creation as He did the old. Cp. the close parallel, Genesis 1:26-27; a passage no doubt in St Paul’s mind here.
   The reference is to the Father, not the Son, as the Creator; cp. the parallel, Ephesians 4:22, “created after God;” and the place in Genesis. He is the eternal Original; “the new man” realizes his ideal in likeness to Him, generated by communion with Him in Christ.
   Even here, we think, may be traced reverently an allusion to Christ as “the Second Man.” He, truly, is not “created” as to His Being and Person, which is necessary and eternal; but as Son of Man, and as Head of His Church, in respect of His Work and Office, Scripture represents Him as the willing Result of the Father’s will. In this respect He, as well as His followers in Him (Ephesians 2:10), “lives because of the Father” (John 6:57). But while this reference lies, as we think, in the depths of the passage, its manifest practical import is that the regenerate member of the blessed Head needs and receives daily “renewal by his Holy Spirit,” leading to a fuller knowledge of, and so a truer likeness to, the Father of Jesus Christ.
   The suggestion that “the image” is in fact Christ, (so Chrysostom; cp. above Colossians 1:15; 2 Corinthians 4:4) is not likely in view of the parallel, Ephesians 4:24, with its simple phrase “according to God.” See Lightfoot’s note.’’

17.)  The True Grace of God.

1Pe 5:12, “Through Silvanus, our faithful brother (for so I regard him), I have written to you briefly, 

exhorting and testifying that this is the True Grace of God. Stand firm in it!”

Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges

12. By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose] The Greek order of the words leaves it open whether “to you” is to be construed with “faithful” as in the English version, or with “I have written,” the former being, on the whole, preferable. If with the Received Text we admit the article before “faithful,” we might translate the brother who is faithful to you, but in some of the better MSS. the article is wanting. In any case the way in which Silvanus is mentioned implies that he was already known to the readers of the Epistle. There is no ground for questioning his identity with the “Silas” of Acts 15:22; Acts 15:32; Acts 15:40, the “Silvanus” of 1 Thessalonians 1:1; 2 Thessalonians 1:1; 2 Corinthians 1:19, the second name having probably been taken, after the manner common among Jews (comp. the change from Saul to Paulus, Joshua to Jason, John surnamed Marcus, and other like instances), when he went as a missionary into Gentile countries. It is obvious that the circumstances of his life gave him special qualifications for maintaining or restoring unity of teaching and feeling between the Jewish and Gentile sections of the Church. Trained in the Church of Jerusalem and known as possessing prophetic gifts (Acts 15:32), he had been chosen, with Barsabas, to be the bearer of the encyclical letter from the Council of Apostles and Elders, and to enforce its purport orally. Throwing himself so heartily into the work of preaching to the Gentiles that he was chosen by St Paul as his companion on his second missionary journey, travelling with him and Timotheus through Galatia, Troas, Philippi, Thessalonica, and Corinth, he was conspicuously fitted to carry on the work which St Paul had begun. The scattered notices above referred to do not carry us further than his work at Corinth, and we are left to conjecture how he had filled up the interval that had elapsed since that date. What we now read suggests (1) that he had been working among the Churches of the provinces of Asia Minor named in chap. 1 Peter 1:1, and had gained their confidence; (2) that after St Paul’s final departure from those regions he had turned to St Peter as still within reach, and had brought under his notice the sufferings of the Christians there; and (3) that he was sent back with the Epistie that was to guide and comfort them. It is a probable conjecture that St Peter may have received from him copies of the Epistles of St Paul to which he refers in 2 Peter 3:15-16. The Greek verb for “I have written,” as being in the epistolary aorist, is rightly taken as referring to this Epistle, and not, as some commentators have thought, to a lost earlier one. The words “by Silvanus” may imply that he was either the amanuensis, or the bearer of the letter, or possibly, that he united the two characters.
as I suppose] The Greek verb (the same as in 1 Corinthians 4:1; 2 Corinthians 11:5) does not carry with it the slight touch of uncertainty which attaches to the common use of the English word.
briefly] We may perhaps think of the Apostle as comparing the brevity of what he had written with the longer Epistles of St Paul, such as Romans , 1 and 2 Corinthians.
testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand] The words have a special significance as connected with the mission of Silvanus. The great Apostle of the Circumcision, writing to the Churches that had been mainly planted and taught by the Apostle of the Gentiles, bears his full testimony that the “grace” by which they “stand” is no counterfeit, but in very deed a reality. Now, as when he and John and James the brother of the Lord gave to Paul and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship (Galatians 2:9), he recognises “the grace of God” that had been given to them and through them. The attestation thus given of unbroken harmony stands, it need hardly be said, in singular contrast with the position of antagonism to St Paul and his teaching ascribed to St Peter in the Clementine Homilies and Recognitions, which represent the later workings of the Judaizing party. See notes on 2 Peter 3:15.”

18.)  The True Words of God.

Rev 19:9, “Then he said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb.’” And he said to me, “These are the True 

Words of God.”

The Bible is the True Words of God.

Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges

•  And he saith] Who speaks? Plainly an angel (see Revelation 19:10), presumably the angel of Revelation 17:1.
  Blessed are they, &c.] St John, and “they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein” (Revelation 1:3) are made to realise heartily what our Lord’s fellow-guest (St Luke 14:15) said without seeing the full force of his own words. Of course, when we reduce the image to plain prose, “they that are called” are the same as the Bride: while St Paul again speaks of them as her children.
  These are the true sayings of God] More literally, These words are [some add “the”] true (words) of God.”

You have learned the true Words of God: God is True, His Words are true, Jesus Christ the Witnes of God is true. All men are liars. It is time for you to repent of your sins and believe in the Lord Jesus Chris as your God and Savior. You can do it now.

Ukraine nincompoop wants to use USA to fight against Russia. US must ditch Ukraine, EU and abolish NATO. EU alliance has proven meaningless. America must not guarantee security for any nation. International community, knowingly or unknowingly, is greatly mistaken. Gaza does not belong to Palestinians. Gaza belongs to Israeli. Palestinians are originally Arabs who invaded Palestine under British rule. It is good and right for Palestinians to relocate permanently in lands of Arabs to establish a Palestinian State of their own.

Hamas who killed hostages must be killed. Hamas who mistreated hostages must be punished.

Palestinians do not have homeland. Gaza, West Bank, Golan Heights, etc. belong to the Jews. It is good and right that Palestinians be resettled permanently in any Arab land to build a Palestinian State of their own.

Palestinians must be evacuated from the Jewish lands and resettle permanently in Arab lands to build their own Palestinian state.  Hamas, Hezbollah and  Houthis are terrorists to be destroyed completely. That is the only way to peace.

The world intentionally believes in a lie. Palestinians are originally Arabs who surreptitiously moved to Israel without pay under the British colony called Palestine. Arabs bred like rabbits and called themselves Palestinians. It is most reasonable for Arabs to move to lands of Arabs. For Palestinians do not have claim or resettlement right in the Jewish land of Gaza, West Bank, etc. No one would object for Palestinians to build a Palestinian state  in lands of Arabs, but Palestinians cannot build a Palestinian state in the Jewish land. Palestinians prefer to be called refugees in order to receive international aid every thing for free. Palestinians must move out or be removed from the Jewish land. TERRORISTS HAMAS, Hezbollah and Houthis MUST be destroyed completely.

Some fools believe and practice martial arts, boxing, violence, sports such as foot ball to save impoverished and backward nations. The truth is only hard work, being good farmers, herdsmen, fishermen, teachnicians, repairmen, engineers can save poor, undeveloped and backward nations.

There has been undeclared war in the southern border between Mexico and America, which has been neglected by previous American administrations. Mexico flagrantly serves as the open conduit for illegal migrants to enter California and crossing the river to enter Texas. The US must bomb Mexico City to warn them there can not be business as usual; in particular Mexico rejected American airplanes which carried deported illegal migrants to land. America must use its powerful military and National Guards to patrol the borders 24 hours. Fire and shoot at unlawful migrants who climb the wall; who try to destroy the wall; who do graffiti on the wall; who congregate within 100 feet of the wall; who cross the river; who cut the wire to deter the invasion. America declares to REJECT all asylum applicants for 100 years. No humanitarian aid shall be given to any unlawful migrants. In addition to American troops, state National guards must also be used to end the unlawful migrants invasion of America. They are despicable and deplorable peoples who fail in their countries and dream of entering America to live happily and doing nothing on welfare.  Immigration Officers must raid Los Angeles, East Los Angeles, San Bernardino,  Santa Ana, San Diego, Miami, etc. — dens of illegal aliens; the Welfare Department has their names and addressees.

Palestinians are also useless, shameless and worthless peoples to loot and rob international aid trucks. They are violent and unproductive. Leaders and politicians of Palestinian Authority lead them to the path of destruction by illegally occupying the Jewish lands. They do not want to go to the Arab lands to build their Palestinian state. They rather stay in Jewish lands in order to receive aid for nothing. No aid should enter to help Palestinians.

Hamas should be held responsible for killing hostages and be punished. The UN chief, Arab, Islamic, Black, EU nations speak and support terrorists should be gone. All UN high-paid officials should be replaced; and UN to be reformed in 100 days. It is a false peace. Gaza, West Bank, Golan Heights, Rafah, etc. are Jewish lands.  UN, WHO, Arab-Muslim-Black nations and Palestinian Authority speak and support terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis without making any demand. Palestinians do not have homeland in Jewish lands. They must evacuate from Jewish lands and go to lands of Arab to build a Palestinian state.  That would be true peace but they do not want peace.

China generously aided more than 100 nations, while their politicians and leaders practice corruption and looting of national treasures, their unproductive people sing and dance, drink alcohol and produce many children they cannot support.

CHINA is the most unusual nation on earth. The craftsmen or artisans of Tang, Sung, Yuan, Ming, Qing dynasties created untold and immense treasures for China.  Western nations like Britain, US, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Austria-Hungary, and Japan (8-nation alliance) attacked, burned, robbed and stole and looted China national treasures at market value of more than US$100,000 trillion dollars. It is better to return them to China now, not wait until China makes demands by military force. Shame on Western nations who claim or pretend to be Christian. For the last 500 years, the manifest evils of the West are imperialism, colonialism and capitalism.

Today Chinese rescue workers respond to any natural disaster, the speed and service they built tents and houses unmatched by any nation. The American homeless people would rejoice just to have the Chinese tents. China must not waste its resources on the lazy people and unproductive peoples who

eat and get fat, drink alcohol, sing and dance, have sex and produce many unwanted children they cannot support; like to play, enjoy games and sports but

dislike hard work and discipline; cannot

even produce food and basic necessities.

Xizang earthquake demonstrates what the Chinese government cares and does for its people. Joe Biden in his last days still gives substantial military aid to the Ukrainians.  What does the U.S. government do for Californians in Los Angeles wildfires? The world must know the truth.

Japan intends to swallow up the United States Steel in order to control the American economy. This should be an eye-opener to the U.S. government that Japan is not a genuine ally. The US government made a  big mistake in rearming Japan. Singapore and Malaysia are wise to establish a special economic zone. Many underdeveloped nations fool China in holding one-China policy. By doing so they think they deserve China’s economic and financial aid. India has conflict of interest in Bricks, it is better to withdraw and  Indonesia is wise to join Bricks.

Leaders and politicians of Palestinians are evil and guilty because they lead Palestinians to the path of death and destruction through illegal occupation of the Jewish land and support of the terrorists. They give false hope to Palestinians in so-called “two state solutions”. Palestinians are Arabs, no one would object to Palestinians building a Palestinian state in an Arab land. When Palestinians want to build a Palestinian state in the Jewish land, that is the cause of conflict. Palestinians speak and support terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis. Palestine leaders and politicians should evacuate all Palestinians from the land of the Jews and go to Arab lands to build a Palestinian state. That would be peace.

The Internet is a cesspool of corruption, fraud and iniquity. No nation polices and punishes their wrongdoings. Money making individuals and institutions would invade your computer to push their products even rejected. Many famous American universities and institutions are selling their fraudulent products for incurable problems. Many individuals and institutions claim to be Christian and shamelessly and aggressively ask for donations. Many sell famous works in public domain through subscriptions and purchases. Many distort and pervert the Word of God but ask for donations.

Any nation which restricts, bans, or interferes with China’s activities is illegal and unlawful. China can do anything within its sovereignty that does not violate the international law.

To appease the fury and wrath of South Koreans, the impeached Yoon and all those who blocked his arrest shall be executed once and for all.  Maybe Yoon should experience the 4-horse treatment. South Korea is the nation the world should not be: all incompetent, chaotic and useless.

Henceforth beginning 2025 all undeveloped nations must work, discipline and be responsible to produce their own food and other necessities; all international aid will be terminated beginning November 2025. Undeveloped nations cannot do as usual in dancing, singing, drinking and sporting, have sex and produce many unwanted children they cannot support. They must work hard to support and save themselves. Based on the Biblical principle, 2Th 3:10, “For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either.”

THE WEST (US, BRITAIN, CANADA, EU) BEING EVIL AND FOUND GUILTY OF SANCTIONING CHINA ALL BECAUSE THEY COVET XINJIANG AND XICHANG AND HONG KONG, USE TAIWAN AND SOUTH CHINA SEA TO ATTACK CHINA’S SOVEREIGNTY.

On the one hand, some White experts pretend to make good suggestions to improve China economy; they may fool many Chinese, I can see malice, envy and ill will through their awkward faces. On the other hand, Black leaders and politicians play coy and con China to support their development for nothing. China needs to stop all foreign aid for two reasons: China needs to pay down deficits and debts. China must not be fooled and must use its hard-earned meager resources wisely to do the following strategic projects:

1.  China should have unswerving commitment only to itself. China should not waste money on useless and unworthy undeveloped countries. Not one nation is grateful. Deficits and debts are bad. China cannot save the world, China must save itself.

2.  Make deserts green and reduce sand storms.

3.  Repair the Great Walls. Build sea walls around Hainan Island, Shanghai, etc. to prevent climate change that sea water will rise.

4.  Promote night markets in big cities and promote domestic travel to expand the economy. Deficits and debts are bad; fiscal surplus is good.

5.  Execute crooks and criminals who defraud through Telecom and Internet of more than ONE million yuan. IT is not known who polices the rampant international crooks and criminals who defraud the public by famous American universities and institutions who sell high-priced fake drugs such as to cure knee pain and prevent knee surgery and ear ringing, etc.  Sweep clean fraudulent commercials on TV and the Internet.

6.  Execute crooks and criminals who defraud in foreign nations and do not bring them home. Faces and names of deceivers must be published on TV to shame them and their families.

7.  Increase and strengthen the development and deployment of nuclear weapons for self-defence.

8.  Streamline and reduce national and local government debts and deficits.

9.  Train 5 million doctors, dentists, nurses, teachers, professors and MANAGERS, machinists in the next 5 years.

10.  Assist the poor Chinese in the rural areas first.

11.  Improve mechanized agriculture, and upgrade technology in every field.

12.  Streamline management of central and local governments.

13.  Enforce laws to reduce the number of criminal individuals and organizations in many areas.

14.  Execute crooks and criminals who create rumors and conduct espionage that harm national security.

15.  Reorganize personnel of CGTN and restructure its programs.

16.  Protect the environment and punish severely individuals and organizations who dump industrial waste and toxic materials on lands, soils, water ways, lakes and rivers, and seas.

17.  Remove all fraudulent commercials and fake advertisements from TV and Internet and punish the culprits severely. Violent gaming produces violent culture. Violent culture destroys any nation.

18.  Make it easy for Overseas Chinese to come to China and make their investments.

19.  Reward universities that earn and win NOBEL prizes.

20.  Conduct ditching and dredging of lakes and rivers to prevent flooding before extreme weather.

21.  Innovate and increase therapeutic and pharmaceutical capabilities to produce various vaccines and preventive medicines.

22.  Regulate foreign hospitals and clinics in China to prohibit monopoly and prevent high costs of healthcare.

23.  Bargain down whole sale price with foreign drug companies to import effective foreign drugs to benefit Chinese consumers.

24.  Subsidize elderly apartment renting by 30%, if elderly live with their children, their monthly mortgage will reduce also by 30%.

25.  Severely punish companies that manufacture fake or low quality products.

26.  The world must condemn the phony currency called Bitcoin and China should not fall into the financial trap.

27.  Execute individuals and organizations that rob ancient cemeteries or tombs to sell precious national treasures.

28. Regulate foreign hospitals and clinics in China to prohibit monopoly and prevent high costs of healthcare.

29. Bargain down whole sale price with foreign drug companies to import effective foreign drugs to benefit Chinese consumers.

30. The world must condemn the phony currency called Bitcoin and China should not fall into the financial trap.

31. Mandate providing access to elderly and invalid wheelchairs.

32.  Execute individuals and organizations that rob ancient cemeteries or tombs to sell precious national treasures.

33.  Prohibit anyone to smoke on TV or in movies. Reduce individual gun violence except in war movies.

34.  Execute Hong Kong residents who commit treason or to be exiled permanently. Hong Kong is fortunate to have food, fuel and water, etc. provided by Mainland China. Hong Kong should start de-Biritishization by changing all English street names, for example Victoria Peak should be replaced by Deng Xiaoping Peak.

35.  No one speaks Portuguese except Portugal and Brazil. Macao should not hamstring its residents, but replace Portuguese with the English language the sooner the better.

36.  Increase, innovate, and modernize public and private toilet facilities.

37.  Punish severely those who violate smoking and drinking on buildings, trains, ferries, and airplanes; the third violation deserves to be executed.

38.  China needs to make Christmas a national holiday to facilitate the big Christmas business in China.

39.  Execute leading organized criminals, attack every form of terror, and destroy vigorous lawlessness.

40.  Penalize severely those who have licenses but do not know how to drive or violate traffic rules and regulations on purpose.

41.  To deter and  destroy corruption, China needs to execute any officer who commits corruption of more than CNY one million.

42.  Execute anyone who counterfeits money and seize all his/her assets.

43.  Rebuild the Old Summer Palace, Yuanmingyuan Park ( 圆明园) which was burned down and destroyed by aggressive and intrusive 8-nation-troops; and DEMAND them reparations now through diplomacy or later by military force.

 

44.  Use force to liberate Taiwan and execute traitorous leaders of the People’s Progressive Party (民進黨) publicly.

How to solve global hunger and poverty? There are nations and peoples who deserve to suffer hunger and poverty. For example, Palestinians do not want to go to lands of Arab to build a Palestinian state of their own. They would rather be in the Jewish land and label as refugees so that they can receive international aid for free. There are undeveloped nations and peoples whose leaders and politicians are corrupt, and the peoples are lazy and unproductive; they eat and get fat, sing and dance, drink beer and have sex, produce many children they cannot support. They like the way of life so that they can beg and receive aid freely. These nations will remain poor and suffer  hunger in worse situation a hundred years from now!

STRANGEST THINGS HAPPEN!  1. UN and most OF ITS MEMBERS ENDORSE THE TWO-STATE solution. UN-INSIDERS ARE WORSE THAN outsiders. NO ONE OPPOSES THIS. PALESTINIANS ARE ARABS WHO DO NOT WANT TO GO TO LANDS OF ARABS TO MAKE A LIVING AND BUILD ITS OWN PALESTINIAN STATE. The problem is the fact Palestinians want to build state of Palestinians in Jewish lands. 2. UN and all ARAB, MUSLIM, BLACK, EU nations do not say a word against TERRORISTS HAMAS, HAZBOLLAH, and HOUTHIS. NO ONE DEMANDS HAMAS RELEASE OF HOSTAGES. INDEED, THEY SUPPORT TERRORISTS.

ARE DEPORTATION EFFORTS HURTING THE ECONOMY? WRONG QUESTION. RIGHT QUESTION: ARE ILLEGAL ALIENS HURTING AMERICA? Most of illegal aliens are on welfare, there are 45 million unlawful migrants already residing in America, including their children born in America who are not citizens. America needs to deport illegal aliens without further delay. To warn Mexico not to be an unlawful door for unlawful migrants to invade America, America needs to drop a few bombs on Mexico City to DETER them.

UN, US, and International Agencies have appointed too many unqualified Black politicians and given too much coverage on world media to undeveloped nations.

ON September 3, 2025 for China to mark 80^th anniversary of victory over Japanese aggression and fascism is a historical necessity and hard-earned victory. All foreigners who heroically sacrificed their lives for China in their fight against Japanese aggression must individually be commemorated and remembered, their relatives are eternal friends of China. I  have never seen such a great parade before, the size and scope of it would overwhelm your mind; every aspect of it was systematically planned, every step of male and female soldiers was of uniform procedures, every military vehicle with all nuclear missiles and every war airplane in the sky well performed; the words such as grand, massive, superb, magnificent fail to describe the whole celebration. I wholeheartedly salute every Chinese military man and woman who participated. From 1931-1945, the brutal behavior of Japanese and its inhuman atrocities were worse than wild beasts and deserve ten atomic bombs in recompense. Even today Japanese government and leaders do not admit and repent of their war crimes, they worship executed war criminals as their national heroes and living gods. Japan never apologizes and pays compensation for killing 35 million Chinese, made hundreds of thousands sex slaves, millions of labor slaves and untold atrocities. Never again will China be oppressed. I am sure the militant Japan is deterred, but America is on the wrong side of history. Thank God it did not rain.

The mayors of Los Angeles, Washington, D.C. and Chicago are for crooks and criminals, they must be dismissed and deported. All the facts point to the need, Ukraine must be destroyed and its leader executed in order to end the war. Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis are terrorists and the countries that harbor them must be destroyed all together.

Since Gaza, West Bank, etc. are the Jewish lands, Palestinians must evacuate from all Jewish lands and flee to Arab lands where they are safe to receive international aid and build a Palestinian state of their choice.

The leader of Ukraine is corrupt and evil. Ukrainians are stupid to follow the path of destruction. He was the one who instigated war with Russia. Now he asks for security guarantees. The nincompoop should be executed to end the war.

Palestinians, Africans, and others serve as example of peoples who want to eat and do not want to work. UN, WHO, EU, etc. champion their cause. Palestinians do not want evacuate from Gaza, Jewish lands to resettle in Arab lands. Because they will lose their status as refugees where they can get their food, fuel, water, medicine and everything for free from international community. These problems multiply with the passage of time.

UN, EU, GERMANY, UK, FRANCE, AUSTRALIA, NEW ZELAND, ETC. are strange and unreasonable peoples. Who is stopping Palestinians to build a Palestinian state in an Arab land? It is wrong and illegal to build a Palestinian state in Jewish land (Gaza, West Bank, etc.). That is the cause of conflict.

The fact that National Guards have to patrol Washington, D.C. with weapons speaks loudly and badly of the capital. The mayor of Washington, D.C. should be dismissed and deported. All the more urgent the national capital should move to Lincoln, Nebraska, without delay.

The mayor of Washington, D.C. bowed to the illegal acts of street people who set up tents on public streets. She should be dismissed and deported. The National Guards are empowered to trash the tents, clear the streets and vanish street people. Los Angeles is a disgraced city because the California Governor and Los Angeles mayor failed to solve the problems of street people who not only set up tents on public streets, but also urinate and defecate. All the more urgent for the national capital to move to Lincoln, Nebraska. In the face of national debt exceeding $37 trillion, the people can save money by abolishing the House, retain the unicameral legislation of Senate to move also to Lincoln Nebraska. All this can be accomplished legally by a national referendum. America is ruined by dark and evil forces.

Heroes of all races who sacrificed their lives for China in the war against Japanese aggression should be celebrated and remembered. The descendants of them are eternal friends of China. Descendants of American Flying Tiers whose forefathers had sacrificed their lives in the war against Japanese aggression and atrocities must always be honored and remembered. The Chinese government must treat them as eternal friends, and they are welcome to China anytime. Such blood bonds must be appreciated and maintained forever.

The world wrongly marks the anniversary of dropping atomic bomb on Hiroshima while neglecting the Japanese aggression and atrocities of killing 35 million innocent Chinese without remorse or reparations. UN over–appointed unqualified blacks and media have given too much coverage to unworthy black spoke-persons. It is amazing no matter how beautifully white organizations and individuals hail human rights, civil rights, democracy, development, technology, benefits, justice, etc., what they are actually after is MONEY. This can be said equally true about blacks.

Pet economy is wasted economy. Money should better be spent on nutrition and education of children and orphans. In cities all dogs must have annual license of Y5,000, cats Y4,000, and birds Y3,000. It is exempt for rural areas. If a dog defecates in public place, it shall be fined Y3,000 plus cleanup by owner or walker.

Global media highlight the number of Palestinians who have died, but fail to consider why Palestinian Authority and Palestinians do not want to evacuate from Jewish land and resettle in Arab land. Palestinians, men and women, young and old, are shameless beggars. They remain in Gaza to qualify for refugees so that they can get everything free from international community. The international community is ignorant of the fact that GAZA and related territories all belong to the Jews. Israel has every right to take back and take over Gaza and related territories. Palestinians must evacuate and relocate to Arab lands, make a living and establish its own Palestinian state without further delay.

French nincompoop Macron recognized Palestine as a state but failed to know that Palestine does not have territory and sovereignty. Leaders of UK, GERMANY, AUSTRLALIA would commit the same mistake by supporting terrorists. Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis are wicked terrorists, they should be destroyed without mercy. Leaders of Palestinian Authority are guilty for the death and malnutrition of children because they lead Palestinians to the path of destruction. They could have led Palestinians to lands of Arabs to earn a living and build their own Palestinian state. Palestinians (young & old, man & woman) are most shameless beggars for food & water, they don’t want to go to an Arab land to earn a living and build their own Palestinian state. Africa amid famine has the most fat people in the world, they are also shameless beggars. Ukrainians are shameless beggars for weapons, they do not have reason for existence. Harvard though the richest university in the world is a shameless beggar for US aid. Japan claims to practice democracy, its ruling party lost election miserably, yet its prime minister shamelessly wants to stay in power. The world must realize years of aid to Africa produced nothing, trillions of dollars went to black holes.  Africa is corrupt, unmotivated and useless. Black leaders and politicians take advantage of it; dress well, eat well, and live a luxurious life style. Black problems can be solved only by Blacks. Let Africa alone to survive on its own. Blacks create most of the problems in the world, given too much coverage and platform in world media, over–appointed and given too many spokespersons and positions in UN. Any nation who shares destiny with Africa will be doomed. Nothing good comes out of Africa: primitive religion, superstition, spiritism, orgies, black magic, tribalism, voodooism.

If the Texas flooding is an act of God; Ukraine conflict, and conflicts of Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis must be acts of the devil.

India must coexist with China, at the same time India and South Africa must be expelled from BRICS besause they do not remain true to BRICS’ founding mission, they do not belong, must be replaced by Indonesia and Saudi Arabia. US and EU must not rearm Ukraine, let Russia destroy it, and never to be rebuilt. The leader of Ukraine must also be executed.

Palestinian Authorities are guilty for leading Palestinians to a path of death, children died and suffer malnutrition.  Palestian Authorities do not lead Palestinians (who are Arabs) to a land of Arabs to work for a living and build the Palestinian state.

American forces have successfully wiped out three Iranian nuclear sites through B-2 bombers. The “everlasting consequence” is Iran cannot be a nuclear threat anymore. I stand with the overwhelming majority of Dutch people to demolish NATO — the war machine.
