China has released a set of archives, revealing something some countries still haven’t fully reckoned with. These are newly declassified Soviet files on Japan’s Unit 731, one of the most horrific military programs of World War II.

The files include interrogation transcripts, internal memos and investigation notes from 1939 to 1950, detailing a state-run system for biological weapons.

We’re talking:

  • freezing humans to study frostbite
  • vivisections with no anesthesia
  • infecting people with plague, anthrax, cholera, typhoid
  • civilians and prisoners of war, Chinese, Koreans, Mongolians, Russians, used as living test subjects

These archives from Russia line up perfectly with what China has preserved for years, forming a complete evidence chain that Japan’s biological warfare was a deliberate, systematic state crime. This release helps ensure the truth stays on the record and the victims of these crimes are never erased.

        Japan elected an ultraconservative prime minister who holds Margaret Thatcher as a role model and threatened military intervention in Taiwan, which China considers an invasion of China by Japan since Taiwan is legally a part of China. More broadly, Japan has slowly been taking steps to remilitarize for some time now, even picking fights with South Korea over disputed islands. China thus far has only somewhat tolerated Japan after what they did in WW2 so long as they remain pacifist, and there is a UNSC clause that states that founding members have the right to declare war on former WW2 axis members without a vote should they again become aggressive.
