Beijing, December 13 (Xinhua) — China has received evidence from Russia related to the infamous Japanese Unit 731, which carried out biological warfare during World War II. This was announced on Saturday by the Central Archives of China.
The declassified archives provided by the Russian side, covering the period from May 11, 1939 to December 25, 1950, contain trial records of members of Unit 731, reports on investigations into the unit’s crimes, and internal official correspondence of the Soviet Union’s authorities.
During World War II, the Japanese invaders established a network of biological and chemical weapons in many Asian countries, and the base of Unit 731, a secret unit of the Japanese army engaged in the research and development of biological and chemical weapons, was established in Harbin (Heilongjiang Province, Northeast China) and served as the main center of militaristic Japan for conducting bacteriological warfare and human experiments.
At least 3,000 people from China, the USSR, and other countries and regions became victims of bacteriological experiments on humans conducted by Unit 731. -0-
