🕊️ This weekend, we mark China's National Memorial Day for the Nanjing Massacre victims on December 13. CGTN just dropped a compelling photo series 📸 highlighting the atrocities committed by the Japanese military during its war of aggression against the Chinese mainland and across the Pacific in WWII.
The series isn’t just a look back—it’s a call to action. For decades, Japanese forces left behind abandoned chemical weapons (ACWs) in the Chinese mainland. These weapons pose real risks to communities and the environment. So the big question: When will Japan step up and safely dispose of these hazardous remnants?
Why it matters: Recycling old grenades or letting chemical munitions rust away isn’t just "out of sight, out of mind." Rain can leak toxins into soil and water, affecting farmers, kids playing outdoors, and local wildlife. 🐸🍃
Remembering history isn’t about blaming new generations. It’s about:
- Reflecting on those who suffered
- Appreciating the peace we enjoy today
- Staying vigilant against any return of militarism ⚠️
As you scroll through CGTN’s images, take a moment to honor the victims, stand for peace, and keep asking the tough questions. Because understanding the past helps us build a safer future.
Stay curious, stay informed, and spread the word. 📲✨
