85th Anniversary of the Mukden Incident



Not a great video, but I wanted to share the eerie wailing of the sirens here this morning. Today marks the 85th anniversary of the Mukden Incident and the Japanese invasion of the Republic of China. World War II may have started later, but the Japanese occupation of Manchuria and Japan's horrific treatment of the people in the territories it occupied both before and after the start of the global conflict are still bitterly remembered here nearly a century later. (And rightly so given the feeble apologies - if they can be called that! - of various Japanese leaders since then.)
