Try reading the links before you make more inane comments, idiot.

J. Rummel, a professor of political science at the University of
Hawaii, states that between 1937 and 1945, the Japanese military
murdered from nearly 3,000,000 to over 10,000,000 people, most probably
6,000,000 Chinese, Indonesians, Koreans, Filipinos, and Indochinese,
among others, including Western prisoners of war. This democide was due
to a morally bankrupt political and military strategy, military
expediency and custom, and national culture."
>According
to Rummel, in China alone, during 1937-45, approximately 3.9 million
Chinese were killed, mostly civilians, as a direct result of the
Japanese operations and 10.2 millions in the course of the war.
>The
most infamous incident during this period was the Nanking Massacre of
1937-38, when, according to the findings of the International Military
Tribunal for the Far East, the Japanese Army massacred as many as
200,000 civilians and prisoners of war, although the accepted figure is
somewhere in the hundreds of thousands. A similar crime was the
Changjiao massacre. In Southeast Asia, the Manila massacre, resulted in
the deaths of 100,000 civilians in the Philippines and in the Sook
Ching massacre, between 25,000 and 50,000 ethnic Chinese in Singapore
were taken to beaches and massacred. There were numerous other
massacres of civilians e.g. the Kalagong massacre.
>Historian
Mitsuyoshi Himeta reports that a "Three Alls Policy" (Sanko Sakusen)
was implemented in China from 1942 to 1945 and was in itself
responsible for the deaths of "more than 2.7 million" Chinese
civilians. This scorched earth strategy, sanctioned by Hirohito
himself, directed Japanese forces to "Kill All, Burn All, and Loot All."
