There are several lies circulating on the Internet about Japanese prisoners of war in World War II.

First, because the Japanese army executed Australian prisoners, 200,000 Southeast Asian prisoners were executed by Australian troops after the war. This is purely a rumor that the Japanese army has laid down its weapons. Australia hates even more. Such a crime would not have been committed, as Australian military personnel do not want to be brought to trial.

Second, 600,000 Japanese prisoners were taken to Siberia, where most were tortured to death. When they first arrived in Siberia, some Japanese prisoners of war died of weakness due to the harsh conditions. The Soviet side took active measures to improve conditions, starting from the second year. Fewer Japanese prisoner deaths! The Soviet Union needed a large amount of labor and would not let the prisoners of war die easily.

Third, Sun Liren buried thousands of Japanese troops alive. This is pure nonsense, and has already been clarified by Sun Liren's descendants and insiders.

The above widely popular claim on the Internet is pure nonsense. There is no basis, let's not believe it. Those who spread rumors have their hearts to blame.
