Mao Ning: During the Second World War, the Japanese invaders flagrantly violated international law, launched a heinous germ warfare against the Chinese people, conducted inhuman in vivo experiments, and committed heinous crimes against humanity. The Japanese official information disclosed by Japanese scholars once again shows that the evil deeds of Japanese militarism in launching germ warfare are hard evidence, which cannot be denied or denied. We appreciate the courage of people of insight in Japan to expose and face up to the historical truth. The Japanese side should listen carefully to the calls for justice at home and abroad, face up to and deeply reflect on the history of Japanese militarism aggression, eliminate the legacy, and not repeat the mistakes of history.
