The announcement said 83,000 bodies were found in Nanking and the vicinity during December

This is an interesting admission by the Japanese. However, the 1937 "Rape of Nanking" actually produced far more dead bodies.

[People's Political Council] Chairman Wang Ching-wei, in the opening address, said the mission of the council was “to solidify and unify the people in order to strengthen the national power of resistance, and lay a firm foundation of democracy so that China can immediately graduate into constitutionalism at the end of the war.”

Wang Ching-wei would later defect to the Japanese and head their collaborationist government in China.

The Hankow reportage looks like a PR handout by TV Soong.

Thanks for the ping Homer.
