"We noted relevant reports. Japanese invaders, who conducted large-scale and gruesome human experimentation and germ warfare, shall forever be nailed to the eternal pillar of shame. The Khabarovsk Trial in 1949, an extension and complement to the Tokyo Trials, left behind numerous well-preserved audio recordings, transcripts and physical evidence. They form a complete chain of solid evidence that brings to light the crimes of the Japanese military's germ warfare. Discoveries like these have opened the eyes of many in the world, including the Japanese public, to this dark and horror-filled chapter of history."

A Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said Monday that Japan is backtracking by pursuing remilitarization, treading a path of no return.
Spokesperson Guo Jiakun urged Japan to renounce militarism at a regular news briefing in Beijing when asked to comment on a recent Japanese media report, which said that a report from a Japanese military medical conference held in March 1940 suggests that the Imperial Japanese Army may have repeatedly conducted experiments in China involving the transfusion of animal blood into humans during its invasion.
"We noted relevant reports. Japanese invaders, who conducted large-scale and gruesome human experimentation and germ warfare, shall forever be nailed to the eternal pillar of shame. The Khabarovsk Trial in 1949, an extension and complement to the Tokyo Trials, left behind numerous well-preserved audio recordings, transcripts and physical evidence. They form a complete chain of solid evidence that brings to light the crimes of the Japanese military’s germ warfare. Discoveries like these have opened the eyes of many in the world, including the Japanese public, to this dark and horror-filled chapter of history," he said.
