By examining China’s long history of mass killings—culminating in the Cultural Revolution and CCP-imposed killing quotas—this chapter exposes how the so-called Nanjing Massacre was fabricated as anti-Japanese propaganda. It also indicts Western intellectual ignorance and Japanese collaborators who spread these falsehoods worldwide.

By reading this chapter, even those so-called Western intellectuals and opinion leaders who are utterly ignorant of the history and facts of Southeast Asia will clearly understand that what you have accepted as the “Nanjing Massacre,” loudly touted by Chinese people of such a reality as anti-Japanese propaganda, is something they fabricated by attributing a part of their own history and their own reality to the deeds of the Japanese army.
Therefore, you should be ashamed of your own ignorance and must immediately stop these demonic acts of denigrating and humiliating Japanese soldiers—men who, in the century of war, not only fought with the greatest bravery in the world for their country against the United States, which was then an overwhelmingly powerful nation in the world, but also accepted 20,000 Jews who fled Nazi Germany’s persecution at the risk of their lives into Manchukuo, and who, as soldiers of the Japanese army that raised the banner of “no discrimination among peoples,” repelled protests from Germany—Japanese soldiers who, it is no exaggeration to say, were the most noble human beings in the world.
Of course, if you do not stop, then as a living Oda Nobunaga in the modern age, I will simply tell King Enma of Hell long since to inflict upon you the greatest possible torment.
Even so, people around the world will learn from this chapter that the sins of the Asahi Shimbun and the like, and Haruki Murakami and the like, who wrote and disseminated to the world numerous fabricated articles, beginning with the Nanjing Massacre, for the sake of a country like China, are deeper than the sea.
What follows is a continuation of the previous chapter.
Beginning with party organizations and practical cadres, almost everyone became a target of the ferocious rebel movement: university professors and elementary and middle school teachers; writers and artists and others with knowledge and skills; those from old established families and wealthy lineages; landlords and capitalists and others with reputation and property.
In A Brief History of the “Cultural Revolution” (2006, Central Party History Press), the situation at that time is described as follows.
“In the Cultural Revolution era, private trials were held; confessions were coerced through torture; arbitrary arrests, illegal detentions, and investigations became entirely ordinary phenomena; people targeted for rebellion were beaten to death, and suicides of those unable to endure persecution occurred one after another; and people’s lives and property ceased to be protected at all—”
How many people in China were persecuted by the time the “Cultural Revolution” ended in 1976 with Mao Zedong’s own death?
In From Revolution to Reform (Wang Haiguang, Law Press), it is described as follows.
“The wrongful convictions created in the Cultural Revolution reached nine million cases, and the number of people who lost their lives in various forms amounted to several million. By the time the Cultural Revolution ended, the number of people directly or indirectly harmed nationwide reached one hundred million, accounting for ten percent of the total population.”
It has not been fully determined how many lives were taken, but it is sufficient to understand Mao Zedong’s brutality.
Killing Quotas
In China’s long history, in civil wars to seize the realm, mass killing of the enemy is “to be expected,” but looking at successive dynasties, once a dynasty was established it was customary to shift to a policy of “pacifying the land and soothing the people.”
However, the Chinese Communist Party is different.
In the civil war with Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalist Party, it explicitly codified an operational guideline of “In one village, kill one local tyrant (landlord), burn down one house, and in addition confiscate all property,” namely, “one village, one burning, one killing, plus total confiscation,” and it exhausted the limits of evil even against the general populace.
In 1949, when the Chinese Communist Party army led by Mao Zedong defeated the National Government forces, it established the present People’s Republic of China.
Then, from the following year, 1950, the Chinese Communist regime began nationwide “land reform.”
This time, it expanded nationwide the “one village, one burning, one killing” that it had carried out in its revolutionary base areas up to the founding of the state.
Across the country, more than six million landlords were publicly denounced, and it is said that more than two million of them were executed by firing squad.
This was the first mass slaughter of its own people by the Chinese Communist regime.
In the following year, 1951, Mao Zedong issued a forced order to kill, like a bloodthirsty mad dog.
This was the “Campaign to Suppress Counterrevolutionaries.”
In that single year, the Communist regime put 710,000 people labeled “counterrevolutionaries” before people’s courts and executed them by firing squad.
Those designated as counterrevolutionaries were people called “bandits, rogues, spies, key cadres of reactionary parties and organizations, and leaders of reactionary sect organizations.”
Furthermore, Mao Zedong imposed “killing quotas” according to population.
“In rural areas nationwide, the number of counterrevolutionaries to be killed should be about one-thousandth of the population, but… the ratio in cities must exceed one-thousandth of the population.”
It was an unprecedented killing directive.
When a killing quota was thrust upon them by the dictatorial supreme leader, the Party, the military, and the public security organizations all at once turned into “killing machines.”
A storm of mass slaughter swept across the nation.
If one reads A True Record of the Suppression of Counterrevolutionaries Movement (Jincheng Publishing, 1998), one can catch a glimpse of what that “Campaign to Suppress Counterrevolutionaries” was like.
In Beijing, 626 mobilization rallies were held, and more than 3.3 million people participated.
“On March 24, 1951, Beijing City held a joint people’s representative trial rally attended by more than 15,000 people, presented evidence of sabotage activities by counterrevolutionaries, and heard accusations of blood and tears from victims. The proceedings were broadcast live nationwide over the radio. The next day, public security authorities arrested all 399 principal counterrevolutionary ringleaders who had been accused, and took them to the various districts where they had once committed their misdeeds. The people’s courts in each district immediately announced the charges against the principal counterrevolutionaries, pronounced verdicts on the spot, and immediately executed them—”
If there were trials of 399 “counterrevolutionaries” in a single day, then even if court was in session from morning until night, each trial would amount to no more than about two minutes per person.
What “evidence” was presented there, and what on earth was “accused”? There was no time to question truth or falsehood.
It was enough to know only the name of the crime and the allegations.
This “trial,” in which the number of people to be killed and the members had already been decided, was nothing but a complete farce.
It means only that they were fulfilling the quota imposed by Mao Zedong.
To be continued.
