So it turns out that some vloggers or net commentators or whatever (name of the lady is Kat I think, forget the bloke's name) have done reasonable people a favour and drawn attention to the little fascist owner, believe his name is Motoya, having written a book stating that the Rape of Nanjing/Nanking was fiction and PLACED THE BOOK IN HIS APA HOTELS AS RECOMMENDED READING.
Fuck that. Tell your Chinese friends, acquaintances and Chinese tourists you meet not to give that slimey fascist any of their money. What an insult. It's like if Aussie hotels had recommended reading in the form of a book in the hotels stating that nope, it aint true that the original Indigenous people of Oz were pushed off their land and had their culture destroyed as well as many of their people by the arrival of whites.
I wonder if German hotels can have Holocaust denial books for their guests. Or if American hotels can have books saying that slavery really wasn't bad for the black people transported as slaves to the New World or even saying that blacks actually volunteered to be on the plantations.
Nanjing/Nanking is controversial but it's mostly a controversy concocted by Japanese war crime deniers who happen to be flourishing these days under the newly acceptable Japanese World War 2 flag promoted by fascist-yakuza hearted Abe - don't hold your breath waiting for a photo of Angela Merkel addressing the German Army while a Nazi flag flutters nearby.
Primary sources NOT from Iris Chang show plenty of evidence of Japanese war crimes against civilians even if there are some confusing sources, a few of which are plain wrong. For those who buy into the new Japanese fascist propaganda, a read of "The Good German of Nanking/Nanjing' written back in the 90s or early 2,000s puts it into perspective and yes, many war crimes were committed by the Japanese military and Japanese civilian helpers in Nanjing/Nanking.
Fuck you APA - the Dormy Inn and other hotels look much better.
