This article, “Pacific Theatre Part 3: In which Japanese antics in occupied China are unwound” by Lestrade (aka Unpopular Opinion), argues that many of the widely accepted atrocities committed by Japan during its occupation of China are fabricated or exaggerated propaganda. The author critically examines events like the Mukden Incident, the Rape of Nanjing, and the alleged activities of Unit 731, suggesting they were fabricated to justify Japan’s post-war occupation and control by America and Soviet Union.

The text begins by questioning the legitimacy of the Mukden Incident, citing Wikipedia’s admission that the event used to justify Japan’s invasion of Manchuria was a fake. The author points to the minimal damage from the dynamite explosion and the quick exposure of the deception by the Lytton Report as evidence of fabrication.

The article then focuses on the Rape of Nanjing and Unit 731. The author dismisses accounts of mass murder and rape in Nanjing by questioning the inflated death toll estimates, the logistical feasibility of such killings, and the lack of corroborating photographic or eyewitness evidence from Western observers. The author also scrutinizes the “Contest to kill 100 people using a sword” story, labeling it as wartime propaganda and highlighting inconsistencies in accompanying photographs, suggesting they are doctored. John Gillespie Magee, an American missionary and Skull & Bones member who allegedly filmed the events, is presented as a potential operative rather than an impartial witness.

Regarding Unit 731, the author claims that accounts of human experimentation and biowarfare research are largely based on hearsay and Soviet show trials, with little to no physical evidence. The alleged scale and secrecy of the Unit 731 facilities are questioned, and the author suggests that the disappearance of evidence was a convenient way to obscure fabricated stories. The experiments described are deemed scientifically implausible and repetitive.

Finally, the article touches upon the Soviet Invasion of Manchuria, questioning the low casualty figures and the photographic evidence, suggesting the conflict may have been more of a staged event or exercise rather than a full-scale war. The author concludes by implying a broader narrative of “Phoenicians” manipulating events to gain territory and control through fabricated conflicts and propaganda, exemplified by the division of Korea following Japan’s defeat.
