Talk:Taminato incident

Source 📝

574:"The Japanese were already broadcasting several shows daily in a variety of dialects on the continent in an effort to win over the Chinese.... Merchants appropriated many of these to use in advertising, thereby gaining new clients, but it seems that the KMT eschewed employing radio for the express intent of resisting the Japanese. In sum, the KMT did more to promote burgeoning markets than it did to disseminate anti-Japanese rhetoric.... The initial CCP policy to protect Japanese POWs is well known, but this policy subtly shifted a year later, on October 22, 1938.... the new CCP policy now considered using Japanese POWs to speak in front of Chinese... allowing it to gain a following of Japanese POWs.... Throughout the war of resistance, from 1937-1945, and the subsequent civil war, from 1945-1949, the core of KMT cultural policy focused more on what it deemed unacceptable, rather than offering serious positive alternatives.... KMT propaganda plans against the Japanese started late in 1937 but were fairly disorganized and poorl maintained.... Nonetheless, in terms of arousing international opinion against Japan, KMT propaganda generated significant international ire." 458: 448: 430: 127: 103: 221: 541:: This statement is non-sensical. Chinese sentiments towards Japan during the war could only be described in terms of how consolidated the anti-Japanese sentiments were, the assumption that "pro-Japanese sentiment" exists at all buys into the propaganda of the Japanese occupation during the war, which is not surprising given that this statement is sourced to renowned militarist apologist and historical revisionist 272: 72: 647:, an English scholar (not a historian) primarily known for having out-there far-right views on the Nanjing Massacre and other aspects of the Sino-Japanese War. Given that the incident only seems to exist (as an area of "historical research") in far-right Japanese propaganda pieces, this article may qualify for deletion. It is essentially a vehicle for propaganda, and therefore can never be made to meet NPOV. 587:
Altaic master-race" propaganda like towards the Koreans and Mongols. Clearly this article has serious POV problems, not least portraying Sino-German cooperation (continuous from the time of Bismarck) as some sort of Nazi collaboration! Absolutely incredible how somebody could twist the diplomatic balance in this way, when Japan was the #1 ally of Nazi Germany on the world stage.
137: 21: 535:: The source for this rather sweeping statement is unclear, and heaping the blame for anti-Japanese sentiments on Communist propaganda seems to buy into the propaganda of the Japanese occupation during the war. It is not appropriate for Knowledge (XXG), our related articles on this issue have much better and more nuanced sources that contradict it. 529:: it is a stretch to call the killing of a soldier by people of an occupied territory "murder", and "assassination" seems wholly inappropriate. I can only assume it is a literal translation from one of the Japanese language sources. If the article adhered to NPOV standards, quite possibly a different word would have been used. 563:
About the "assassination" point, yes, it doesn't seem like this soldier was politically important enough to say that he was "assassinated". There was legitimate anti-Japanese terrorism and assassinations (for example, an attempt on the Emperor) from radical Korean nationalists, but this technique was

The article as it stands is not NPOV. It presents opinions as facts and uses questionable wording and weasel words. The sources cited are all Japanese: for an allegedly important historical incident, there is a remarkable absence of neutral or Chinese sources. As an aside, it cites primary sources,

section does seem out-of-place. The word "assassination" is problematic, but we will need reliable English-language sources that give a different name for the event in order to change this article's title. A number of the above statements, though, seem to be equally flawed/grossly POV. To call the

like it has POV issues, but I honestly can't tell. The sources are all Japanese, but then the fact that this article only exists in English and Japanese Wikipedias seems to indicate that reliable Chinese sources have not given it much coverage. As a non-Chinese speaker, I don't know how to verify
586:
But yes, I also wonder about what "pro-Japanese sentiment" there was during the war. Japanese propaganda aimed at China appealed to anti-Western nationalism, and focused on using puppet collaborators like Wang Jingwei to carry out their aims. There was no "love Japan, we are blood brothers of the
568:
China (being in a weak position) wanted to declare full-scale war, when it made serious accomodationist efforts. It was during the SSJW when Chinese propaganda efforts started, and this was mainly aimed towards Japan, in order to demoralize their soldiers by telling them that they're aggressors
664:
WP's notability policy states that "Significant national or international coverage is usually expected for an event to be notable." Right now I'm not seeing much evidence of this, especially considering that there's essentially no English sources for this event, and few Japanese sources. Is it

rather than liberators, etc. The unspoken assumption, of course (that you recognize) is that there was no need to whip up anti-Japanese sentiment among the Chinese when Japanese soldiers were breaking into peoples homes, looting, raping, etc.

generally not seen in Chinese resistance. About the propaganda, I think it's a serious anachronism to say that there was some coordinated Communist propaganda effort against the Japanese during this time. After all, this was 1936,
687: 51: 760: 640: 359: 41: 533:"In China at the time of the incident the anti-Japanese propaganda of the Chinese Communist Party was pervasive and the effects of this were continuing to spread." 367: 750: 735: 755: 740: 288: 712:
