“Xiang Longwan, honorary director of Center for the Tokyo Trial Studies of Shanghai Jiao Tong University and son of Xiang Zhejun, a Chinese prosecutor at the Tokyo Trial”

“The Yushukan makes no mention about the two-and-a-half-year trial”

“Yushukan catalog: [In September 1931,] resentment toward the overtly anti-Japanese policies of Zhang Xueliang's government, and dissatisfaction with the Japanese government's conciliatory approach to China, smoldered among Japanese residents in Manchuria (especially within the Kwantung Army). Subsequent to the incident, the Kwantung Army helped establish Manchukuo, installing Pu-yi, the last emperor of the Manchurian Dynasty, as head of state.”

“Tokyo Trial verdict: The evidence is abundant and convincing that the "Mukden Incident" [September 18 Incident] was carefully planned beforehand by officers of the [Japanese] Army General Staff, officers of the Kwantung Army, members of the Cherry Society, and others.”
