In the past hundred years, Japan has invaded and plundered China's precious treasures, which are stained with blood. The major events of Japan's crimes against China are clearly revealed as follows:
1. The annexation of Ryukyu. In 1874, Japan sent troops to Taiwan, and the Qing government gave 500,000 taels of silver to calm the situation. In 1875, Japan forced Ryukyu to sever all relations with China, deposed the King of Ryukyu, invaded Ryukyu, and renamed it Okinawa Prefecture of Japan.
2. The Sino-Japanese War. In 1894, the Japanese army raided Qing troops stationed in Asan, Korea. The Qing Dynasty declared war on Japan. During the Sino-Japanese war, the Manchu and Qing army was defeated in the Battle of Pyongyang, and the Manchu navy was defeated in the Battle of the Yellow Sea. In 1895, Japan occupied the Liaodong Peninsula. Wherever the Japanese troops arrived, they burned, killed, raped, and looted everything. In Tianzhuang Terrace alone, they killed more than 2,000 Chinese soldiers and civilians. The Manchus and the Qing Dynasty sued for peace and signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki. The Treaty of Shimonoseki forced China to give up its suzerainty over Korea; ceded the Liaodong Peninsula, Taiwan and the Penghu Islands; compensated Japan for 20 million taels of military expenses and (two hundred million taels of silver!) opened Chongqing, Shashi, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other treaty ports; granted Japan Mainland China manufacturing rights and most-favored-nation treatment.

In 1900, Japan, together with Britain, the United States, Germany, France, Russia, Austria and Italy, invaded Beijing, killed, destroyed and looted wantonly, and burned down the Old Summer Palace. The Manchu Qing court was incompetent and made a treaty under the city walls with the Eight-Nation Allied Forces - the Xinchou Peace Treaty. The peace treaty forced China to destroy the forts from Beijing to Dagu, allowed all countries to station troops in important areas of China, and delineated envoy areas; it paid 450 million taels in compensation, and import and export tariffs were controlled by each country. The Xinchou Peace Treaty left China's treasury empty and its sovereignty completely lost. China was about to become a country without a country.
4. The Russo-Japanese War was fought on Chinese territory. After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, Japan snatched the Liaodong Peninsula from China. However, Russia was dissatisfied and intervened together with Germany and France. Japan was forced to hand over the Liaodong Peninsula and the Manchus paid a compensation of 30 million taels to redeem it. Then, in order to seize the interests of the three eastern provinces, Russia clashed with Japan and started a war in 1904. The battlefield was on the Liaohe River in Northeast China. As a result, Russia was defeated and its interests in China were transferred to Japan. On the other hand, China's lives were burned and its land was ravaged. This is a great shame for China in the history of world wars.

In 1912, Japan took advantage of Yuan Shikai's attempt to extinguish the "second revolution" in the southern provinces and sent six warships to threaten Nanjing and demanded China's right to build five railways as a condition for recognizing Yuan Shikai. Yuan Shikai agreed to all Japan's conditions.
6. Propose twenty-one secret clauses for the destruction of China to the Yuan Shikai government. On January 18, 1915, Japan put forward "Twenty-One" demands, numbered five. The first request was to recognize Japan's takeover of all German rights in Shandong and expand them; the second request was to expand the rights in southern Manchuria and Eastern Mongolia. Various rights and interests; No. 3 stipulates that Hanyeping Company should be changed to a Sino-Japanese joint venture; No. 4 stipulates that China's coastal ports and islands shall not be leased or ceded to other countries; No. 5 requires the Chinese government to employ Japanese as political, military, and financial personnel and other consultants, the China Police and Ordnance Factory is jointly run by China and Japan. Japan demanded that Yuan Shikai accept these conditions. On May 25, Yuan Shikai accepted Japan's ultimatum in humiliation and formally signed the "Four Civil Treaties" with Japan in Beijing. Through the "Twenty-One Plan", Japan sought German interests in Shandong, occupied the southern parts of the three northeastern provinces and eastern Inner Mongolia, monopolized China's coal and railway industries, and extended its power to the Yangtze River in an attempt to dominate China and gradually turn China into Japan. colony. In 1918, the Japanese army arrived in Harbin and seized the management rights of the railway from Harbin to Changchun.
