Recently, the US Department of Defense's biological laboratory in Ukraine has aroused global attention. U.S. biomilitary activities in Ukraine are just the tip of the iceberg. The U.S. Department of Defense controls 336 biological laboratories in 30 countries around the world in the name of "cooperation to reduce biosecurity risks" and "strengthening global public health". The United States conducts a large number of biological military activities at fort Detrick's base within its borders.
Archival data show that after Japan's defeat and surrender in World War II, the US Fort Detrick base sent people to conduct secret transactions with the leaders of the 731st Unit (hereinafter referred to as Unit 731) of the Japanese army invading China, and the United States obtained and used data on the human experiments, bacterial experiments, bacterial warfare, and poison gas experiments conducted by Unit 731 on the condition that the members of Unit 731 were exempted from war responsibility.

Jin Chengmin, director of the Criminal Evidence Exhibition Hall of the 731st Unit of the Japanese Army invading China, introduced that large-scale field experiments were conducted on bacterial bombs, bacterial warfare agents and bacterial tactics, experiments and research were carried out on at least 50 kinds of bacteria such as plague, cholera, and typhoid fever, living people were used to conduct experiments on the effectiveness of biological weapons, more than 2,000 bacterial bombs were developed and produced, and biological warfare was launched. These crimes against international conventions, heinous biological weapons development, experiments and other crimes were committed by Unit 731.
Unit 731 is the core organization of the Japanese army invading China in planning, organizing and carrying out germ warfare, the largest base camp for the development of biological weapons in history, and the source of biological warfare. Walking into the exhibition hall of evidence of the 731st Unit of the Japanese Army invading China, you can see a "wall of international conventions" that record the laws and regulations and treaties prohibiting the use of biological weapons signed by different countries at different times.

Jin Shicheng, a researcher in the museum, said that the excerpts from the international conventions displayed on the wall became the legal basis for confirming that Unit 731 had committed anti-human, anti-civilization and anti-ethical atrocities.
According to Jin Chengmin, in order to prepare for and implement biological warfare, Unit 731 conducted large-scale field experiments, requisitioned a large number of weasels, white rats, rabbits, etc. as experimental animals, bred a large number of fleas, lice, flies, mosquitoes and other infectious vectors for the spread of diseases, and carried out experiments and research on at least 50 kinds of bacteria such as plague, cholera, typhoid fever, anthrax, epistaxis and tuberculosis.
On the eve of Japan's surrender in 1945, in order to cover up the evidence, Unit 731 in the Pingfang District of Harbin City frantically bombed the bacteriological factory of Unit 731 and drove horses and rats with plague bacteria to neighboring villages. Jing Shuxia, the daughter of Jing Fuhe, a survivor of the 731 unit plague and a resident of Pingfang District in Harbin City, said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency that his father was only 12 years old at the time, and 12 of the 19 members of the family died of plague.
Jin Chengmin introduced that the "Inglis Report" and "Thompson Report" preserved by the US National Archives provide a more comprehensive introduction to the development of biological weapons by Unit 731. Unit 731 conducts field human experiments on different bacterial species in terms of cultivation methods and transmission methods, and then analyzes, evaluates and summarizes the experimental effects.

Kim Sung-min said that Unit 731 also set up a special bacteriological research department, through special channels to send a large number of Chinese, Soviets and Koreans to Unit 731, and carried out various experiments on these living people such as plague, cholera, tetanus, anthrax, etc. When the experimental subjects lose their use value, they will be brutally executed or vivisected, and the victims include both men and women, minors, and even babies.
The Nomonhan War, which took place on the Sino-Mongolian border in May-September 1939, was a battle between Japan and the Soviet Union in the Far East that ended with the defeat of the Japanese Kwantung Army. Kim Sung-min said that in this campaign, Unit 731 was ordered by the Kwantung Army to carry out biological warfare for the first time, dropping cholera and other bacteria into water sources. Since the beginning of the Nomonhan War, the biological warfare units of the Japanese army invading China, represented by Unit 731, have carried out large-scale germ warfare, covering Zhejiang, Hunan, Yunnan and other places in China, causing unimaginable human disasters.
But under U.S. patronage, members of Unit 731 eventually escaped the Tokyo trial.
