(Part2)/// because the massacre was made up story using fabricated evidence.

The U.S or British believed what China said at that time. However, according to Summary report on the Investigation of Japanese war crimes committed in Nanking, prepared by the Procurator of the District Court in Nanking, to prepare for the IMTFE, the KMT set up the Nanking Investigation Committee for Antagonists Crime on November 7, 1945, and appealed to the Chinese public to report Japanese Army's crimes.

@bluexxfireThe Tokyo trials was conducted completely impartially,wasn't it? oh Don't be silly! The victorious countries accused the defeated nation, and the acts of the victorious countries, including atrocities against civilians and indiscriminate bombing of civilians, were not judged.

@undertakerRach

Fabricated? How can such a thing be fabricated when there are even testimonies by JAPANESE SOLDIERS THEMSELVES to the crimes that were committed. How can it be fabricated when there was a war crimes tribunal/ trial in TOKYO.

Chinese soldiers killed many Chinese people during the war. R.J Rummel claims that Chinese peasants "often had no less to fear from their own soldiers than they did from the Japanese."

Chinese government pinned thier crimes on Japanese soldiers.

China has no right to accuse Japan of crimes such as the Nanking Massacre because the massacre was made up story using fabricated evidence.

I understand your writing, but do you understand mine?

All those welcoming Chinese mass in Nanking was staged for propaganda, a member of the Safety Zone Committee said in his diary that all those good deeds of giving away food and gifts were not to repeated without the reporters' cameras.

LOL.

@Thak11 (Part2) One of the pictures shows that Japanese soldiers gave gifts to Chinese citizens in Nanking. Photo from the British newspaper North China Daily News, published in China in English on December 24, 1937, eleven days after the Japanese occupation of Nanking.

@Thak11 (Part1)One of the pictures shows that many Nanking citizens, who had abhorred bad deeds done with the Chinese military in the city, welcomed the Japanese military after the Nanking battle. Japanese soldiers and the Nanking citizens in the picture wearing armbands of the flag of Japan and giving cheers, on the day of the Japanese military’s ceremonial entry into Nanking ("Sino-Japanese War Photograph News #15," the Mainichi Shinbun newspaper, published on Jan. 11, 1938)

Eine der Grundlagen des Massakers Mythos basiert auf dem Buch, das heißt bezogen ", was Krieg bedeutet", herausgegeben von Harold Timperley. Aber er war ein Berater des chinesischen Nationalregierung Ministerium für Information. Der Abschnitt wurde Propaganda Abschnitt, der von KMT (Kuomintang, Chiang Kai-shek) in China während des Krieges gegründet wurde. Timperley wurde von der Propaganda-Sektion für die Bearbeitung des Buches bezahlt.

I don't deny that some Chinese soldiers were fanatic to the stage of killing other Chinese for civilians' cloths.

But that didn't disapprove Japanese soldiers not killing Chinese needlessly and mercilessly.

In fact the Japanese did not have enough supply to feed themselves all nor the civilians in Nanking.

The Japanese had the motives to murder Chinese massively.
