Genocide is normal Asian policy. The Chinese genocide all who resist as their default policy, as they have always done. Asians do not believe in human rights, because human rights is a Christian concept. It evolved out of the belief that we have only one life, and therefore our lives are precious, more valuable than anything else. Asians do not believe this. They believe in karma and reincarnation. Thus any single human life is not precious, and if you die for any reason, it is your own fault, or fate. These basic concepts underlie all of the religions and cultures there, and originated out of India over several millennia. Asians are polytheistic which means they believe in many gods, not just the one. They also believe any one person can become a god in the right circumstances, and that many people have done so in the past. They see Jesus as one such individual. This is also why Asians fight to the death. To try to stay alive at all costs is the height of cowardice, especially when death only means you are going to be reincarnated. Why would you risk damaging your karma in this life through cowardice, when it will harm your standing in your next life? Similarly, Asian suicide is not always an act of depression. Many Asians are quite happy to suicide and move forward to their next life. They do it all the time. What the Japanese did in China prior to WWII is what everyone there has done in warfare for thousands of years. For example, during the Chinese Taiping civil war from 1850 to 1864, with the aid of American mercenaries, entire cities were surrounded and eventually conquered, with every inhabitant butchered, although the selling of some of the women and children into slavery was also commonplace at these battlefields - it helps to pay for the army's field expenses. This was the common practice, no different from the Mongols. Total submission or death, and often both, just to be sure. Between 20 to 30 million people died in the Taiping rebellion. By comparison, the American civil war from 1861 to 1865 saw roughly 700,000 casualties, in part because slaughtering entire civilian populations of captured cities was not an American practice. It is a normal practice in Asian military history. In recent times, during the warfare in Syria and Iraq, with Islamic extremists trying to conquer and build a new Islamic state, the common practice for Islamic forces is to slaughter all of the captured men in a mass execution, and then enslave and sell off all of the women and children to the Islamic warriors themselves, forming new family units with these warriors as the new heads of the new families. These captured women and children are commonly auctioned off to the warriors in lieu of payment of unpaid back wages owed by the new local government, as headed by the new Islamist imam. Thus entire communities are transformed almost instantly into Islamic state communities, with no further social resistance of any kind. Total submission to the new administration. America lost Afghanistan because they did not commit enough genocide to purge the previous population. Asians perceive this as weakness. The Japanese do not suffer from any such illusions regarding America, probably because they were nuked twice, but only after all of their cities were first burned to the ground. When Japan surrendered, they opted for total submission as vrs death. In spite of absolute total obedience to the emperor of Japan, he had to publicly make the surrender order twice. America does not usually pursue genocide openly or totally, but it is certainly hard to argue that what America did to the civilian populations of Germany and Japan during WWII does not approach genocide. Millions of civilians were exterminated. Americans prefer to let their allies commit the genocides to maintain plausible deniability. For example, ask the South Koreans what happened to all of their communist civilians after McArther liberated the capital city. Dig into that and you will see exactly what I am talking about. Normal Asian policy.
