Japan are up to some horrifying stuff in China during the second world, torturing any old communist they can get their hands on. It's not outrageous to make comparisons to the German concentration camps. You could even argue some of what Japan did was worse. It's a tale of torture, experiments, and babies. Gruesome stuff!!!
