Comment on "First hand accounts expose brutality of Nanjing Massacre" (China Daily website, Nov 8)

The Nanjing Massacre is a permanent wound on the hearts and minds of Chinese people. But Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe refuses to admit history and, instead, tries to twist facts to say the Nanjing Massacre didn't take place at all. Some Japanese politicians even allege that the Nanjing Massacre is a lie concocted by China.

But by doing so, the Japanese politicians are only belittling Japan in the eyes of people across the world.

The atrocities that the imperial Japanese army committed on Chinese people before and during World War II must be exposed so that the world gets to know the full truth of Japan's militarist past. This is important because once the world knows the truth, Japanese politicians and right-wing forces cannot cover or twist the heinous deeds of the Japanese army anymore.
