During the war, Japan never made any territorial demands, nor did she make any demands on interests in China. This is made clear from the Funatsu Peace Initiative (Aug. 1937), the Trautmann Peace Initiative (Dec. 1937), etc., wherein no such demands are made.

  • (Part2)In Jan. 1938, seeing that no Chinese reply to the Trautmann Peace Initiative was forthcoming though the deadline had come, Japanese prime minister Konoe Fumimaro gave up hopes for peace, declaring, “We will no longer deal with KMT Chiang Kai-shek.” Nonetheless, he made many appeals for peace afterward.

    The Japanese military in WW2 also helped a lot of people in Nanking...

    Not to mention helping in hospitals in Hongkong (where invading Japanese soldiers massacred the staff and patients) Or perhaps you think that's a lie too?
