Japanese War Crimes Against Chinese Civilians

How many Chinese people did the Japanese army kill?

I don't know for sure.

This document was published by the Japanese General Headquarters.

It reports that between July 1937

and June 1941,

the Japanese army killed 2 015 000 Chinese people.

Isn't it logical that by

slaughtering 2 000 000 Chinese lives that it might

arouse the fury of the Chinese people? Please answer the question.

Many of those you

butchered were innocent civilians.

Why was the treatment of these uninvolved, innocent civilians so atrocious?

The idea that the so called civilians had nothing

to do with the war is the same in China and Japan.

However, the Chinese authorities ordered the

civilians to attack Japan and humiliated Japan. This led to the massacre.

This is the fault of the Chinese authorities.

It has nothing to do with us.

So not only did you not evacuate the troops,

but you expanded the conflict, right?

This is a courtroom.

Your wants are irrelevant. Your answer is mandatory.

So, yes or no?

Objection overruled.

The witness must answer the prosecutor's question, yes or no.

Answer me. Yes or no?

No. No?

Did Japan evacuate troops from China after you received

instructions to form a cabinet in October 1941?

No. But that's... You already answered my question. I don't need an explanation.
