Japan bio warfare unit renovated
Print Edition
CHINA yesterday began to renovate the site of the former headquarters of the notorious Japanese army unit 731 in the northeastern city of Harbin.
The renovation will last until August 30 next year. Most parts of the building, now the Museum of Evidence of War Crimes by Japanese Army Unit 731, will be closed except for a special exhibition and an outdoor area.
The project aims to not only renovate the museum but also coincides with the 70th victory anniversary of China’s war against Japanese invaders as well as the World Anti-fascist War next year.
The 6,300-square-meter building is home to 13 exhibition rooms, a gallery and an exhibition hall. It has received more than 400,000 visitors this year.
Unit 731 was a top-secret biological and chemical warfare research base established in Harbin in 1935 as the center of Japan’s biological warfare in China and Southeast Asia during WWII. The retreating Japanese invaders blew up the base when the Soviet Union took Harbin in 1945.
