Many people have forgotten one thing, that is, Japan's plunder of Chinese in Nanyang is not soft. Before the war, the Chinese in Nanyang were generally rich, which can be said to have mastered the economic lifeline of Nanyang, but after the war, they were generally poor, showing that the amount of looting was amazing.
1945 August 15 After Japan announced its surrender, there were still a lot of materials and jewels. , was shipped to Japan. In the post-war trial, the Japanese confession proved this point.
Since China has suffered so much, how much should Japan compensate China? Everyone knows the actual compensation. But if Japan is compensated, can Japan still have a post-war economic miracle?
(In Nanjing, every Japanese army has a big harvest, and they can't take it away! )
Wealth plundered by Japan
1, collecting 6000 tons of gold in Nanjing. The first case of "Jin Baihe Plan" was Nanjing, which was implemented by 1000 Japanese cultural relics experts and monks. The collection of gold, silver, jewelry, cultural relics and antiques is countless. Later, the "Jin Baihe Plan" was extended to the whole occupied area.
Puyi once assisted Japan in transporting a large number of antique calligraphy and painting in the Forbidden City in Changchun. 1August, 945, Japan urgently sent back a large number of treasures from Changchun, including ancient paintings 1000 volumes and 200 books and antiques from the Song Dynasty. It is reported that during his stay in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the Japanese plundered no less than 4 million cultural relics.
The skull of Beijingers is still missing. This is the sorrow of China people. Some people say that it sank to the bottom of the sea, and some people say that it was collected by the Japanese. But in any case, its tragic experience is related to the Japanese.
Japanese dig graves in China. From the late Qing Dynasty to the declaration of surrender in the 34th year of the Republic of China (1945), the illegal excavation activities of the Japanese army in China never stopped. The Japanese visited almost all the ancient tombs and monuments in the Japanese occupied areas.
5. The plundering of Southeast Asia is mainly aimed at Chinese. Later, it was estimated that Japan robbed 4,000 tons of gold against Chinese families in Southeast Asia. If you count the looted materials and other things, the specific value can't be calculated at all.
6. Material plunder. It is estimated that China alone will mine 654.38+00000 tons of gold, 654.38+0000 tons of platinum, 20,000 tons of silver, 250 million pieces of silver, 500 tons of diamonds and 20 million pieces of various precious stones. In addition, there are a lot of grain, coal mines, timber and so on.
Japan's wartime gdp miracle
From 65438 to 0965, the United States implemented the concept of GDP. Of course, according to the index of GDP, we can still count the economic conditions of previous eras and countries.
Before World War II, Japan was the sixth economic power in the world, with a gross national product (GDP) of only $6.66 billion in 1937.
1937 After the July 7th Incident, Japan's GDP rose steadily and rapidly.
1944, Japan's GDP reached175 billion USD. During the war, it achieved economic growth that may take decades to achieve in peacetime.
Even in 1946, the "most difficult year" claimed by the Japanese, the gdp was still 1000 billion US dollars. This year, MacArthur delivered a large amount of food to Japan for free. China starved a lot of people this year!

How much should Japan compensate China?
During the period of 1947, after two years of verification, the Allies demanded compensation of 54 billion US dollars from Japan. But it didn't work out in the end.
Because China wants 40%, the United States wants 34%, the Soviet Union wants 14%, France wants 12%, Australia wants 28% and Britain wants 25%.
195 1 year, the United States held a meeting in San Francisco to discuss the distribution of Japanese reparations again. But China was excluded.
At the San Francisco Conference, in order to confront the Soviet Union, the United States implemented a policy of supporting Japan. Japan basically does not need compensation.
1946, the compensation Committee of the executive yuan of the Republic of China estimated that Japan's compensation was not less than $62 billion (at current prices).
1972 was estimated by the executive yuan to be120 billion dollars, and 2/kloc-0 was about 600 billion dollars at the beginning of the century.
It is worth mentioning that Japan paid $65.438+0.4 billion to Myanmar, $550 million to the Philippines, $223 million to Indonesia, $65.438+0.5 billion to Cambodia and $65.438+0 billion to Laos, but the compensation to China was basically zero.
If Japan pays reparations to China after the war, will there still be an economic miracle in Japan? If the Japanese want to compensate China, how much do you think is appropriate?
