中国新華社報道「旧日本軍150万人在中国被殲滅」

A few weeks ago the Yomiuri News on-line reported the following:
中国新華社「旧日本軍150万人を中国で殲滅」
20140902 1732
 【北京=牧野田亨】中国国営新華社通信は1日に配信した「抗日戦争」に関する記事で、旧日本軍150万人を中国で殲滅(せんめつ)し、第2次世界大戦での旧日本軍死者数の70%を占めたと伝えた。
 日本側統計では旧満州を含めて約50万人。3日の「抗日戦争勝利記念日」を前に戦果を誇張したようだ。
 同通信は「この数字(150万人)はアジア及び太平洋で、20か国以上の国が滅ぼした日本侵略者の数よりもはるかに多い」と評価したが、150万人の根拠は示していない。
 日本の防衛省防衛研究所によると、旧厚生省援護局の統計では〈1〉中国本土(香港を含む)45万5700人〈2〉旧満州4万6700人――の計50万2400人。戦死者総数(212万1000人)の23・7%だ。

   A report on "Anti-Japanese war" distributed on the 1st (September) by China’s National Xinhua News Agency said that in China 1,500,000 former Japanese Imperial Army had been killed, and it represented 70% of the Japan's total death toll of its old Army in World War II.

   In Japan’s statistics, about 500,000 soldiers died in the Old Manchuria. It seemed that the success in battle was exaggerated prior to the "Anti-Japanese war victory memorial day" on the 3rd (September).

   While the news agency estimated that "this number (1,500,000 soldiers) is much higher than the number of Japanese invaders that had been eliminated in over 20 countries in Asia and the Pacific Ocean", the base to work out 1,500,000 people was not shown.

   According to the National Institute for Defense Studies of Japan’s Ministry of Defense, the statistics of the War Victims Relief Bureau of the old Ministry of Health and Welfare were <1> in mainland China (Hong Kong included) 455,700 people <2> in the old Manchuria 46,700. The total was 502,400 people. It was 23.7% of total (2,121,000) people killed in the war.

In China where freedom of speech is controlled by the authorities, it is not uncommon to see history being manipulated for political purposes.
