The Japanese unleashed biological weapons of mass destruction against the Chinese in a deliberate genocidal campaign. The Japanese bioweapons program became the basis of both the US and Soviet Governments after the War - it was the most advanced in the world (American POWs were used for testing). The Japanese were planning to spread epidemic disease in the USA, which they failed to achieve.
The routine and gleeful murder of women and infants was widely recorded in film and photos. Throwing babies into the air to be speared on bayonets, in front of their mothers, was a recurring theme, as was mass burial of living civilians, and random/capricious decapitations to terrorize the population, or entertain/encourage the troops.
