Items left over from Japan’s invasion and occupation of China during World War II have been discovered recently in the capital of Guangdong Province, adding to the evidence China is using to condemn an official Japanese history textbook.
According to the municipal cultural bureau, five hangars built for the invading Japanese troops during the war were found in Guangzhou in its ongoing survey of historical sites and relics which has lasted more than one year.
One of the hangars was located in Tianhe District, said an expert, surnamed Chen, of the bureau. Built with bricks and cement,it was some eight meters high, 30 meters long and around two meters deep. Time has blurred the red characters on the facade of the structure.
In the meantime, China’s largest news portal, SINA.COM posted this message from Beijing Public Security Bureau on their front page.
