HARBIN, Sept. 20 (Xinhua) — China on Thursday established a special foundation to preserve and manage the remains of the former headquarters of Unit 731, a special unit of the Imperial Japanese Army that secretly conducted biological weapons research in northeast China during World War II.

The fund, established by the China Cultural Heritage Foundation, aims to support research into the history of Unit 731 and its criminal atrocities, and to protect the site where the unit's base was located.

Located in the Pingfang district of Harbin City (the capital of Heilongjiang Province, Northeast China), the complex served as a base for Japan's planning and implementation of biological warfare in China.

Historical records indicate that Unit 731 used at least 3,000 people for human experiments between 1940 and 1945, while more than 300,000 people in China were killed by Japanese biological weapons.

"Protecting and studying this site, which provides crucial evidence of Japanese militarists' biological warfare, is not only a matter of preserving history but also a responsibility of the era to uphold justice for humanity," noted Liu Yuzhu, Chairman of the China Cultural Heritage Foundation. He stated that the foundation will focus on preserving the base's remains, digitally archiving relics, promoting international academic exchanges, and educating the younger generation.

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the victory in the World Anti-Fascist War.

On Thursday, the film "731" (Evil Unbound), which chronicles the atrocities of Unit 731, officially opened in Chinese cinemas. According to Chinese ticketing platform Maoyan, the film's box office receipts for the day had exceeded 280 million yuan by 7:00 PM on Thursday. -0-

Washington, September 19 (Xinhua) — The U.S. Senate on Friday confirmed Mike Waltz, former U.S. National Security Advisor, as the country's permanent representative to the United Nations. The post had been vacant for eight months.

Forty-seven senators supported and 43 voted against M. Waltz's candidacy. The newly appointed US Permanent Representative will attend the UN General Assembly in New York next week.

During his Senate confirmation hearings this summer, Waltz emphasized the need for reform at the UN, including an overhaul of U.S. funding and measures to eradicate anti-Semitism within the world body, NBC News reported.

Martin Waltz served as Donald Trump's national security adviser since January, but resigned following the Signal messaging incident. In March, he mistakenly added a journalist to a private chat with senior national security officials discussing the upcoming strike in Yemen.

On March 27, D. Trump withdrew his nomination of Republican Elise Stefanik for the post of Permanent Representative to the UN and nominated M. Waltz in May.

Former US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield left her post on January 20 after Donald Trump took office as US President. –0–
