Currently all references are mess copied from jawiki without checking, and contents do not reflect actual events well.
In particular, i wonder how the "Zee money" has smuggled Korean collaborators to Chinese town.

The article as it currently stands is such an unmitigated POV train wreck, I'm unsure where to begin. Even the references alone are already raising a huge red flag, with precisely 0 inline citations and pure Japanese accounts in the Bibliography and External links sections (WP:NONENG). Yet it gets worse when it comes to the content — Half of it goes to great lengths detailing the so-called "Shosankoku incident" (non-existent outside Japanese sources except copied from this very site), alleged instances of rape by "groups of Soviet soldiers", and alleged coercion by "CCP forces" before finally telling us what the incident was about, albeit in an off-putting, melodramatic tone, e.g. "the flooring had turned into a pool of blood, and people died on their feet". Conspicuously absent/glossed over from this portrayal, however, are:
How Sun Keng-hsiao played a (very underrepresented) role in catalyzing the incident beyond being "a Kuomintang-appointed governor of the region [...] publicly flogged to death";
How the vivid account of supposed mass murder/rape came to be and how reliable it is (Survivors' testimony? Documents from either side? Who knows?); as well as
What the perspective as seen from the Communist/NDUA side even is. Case in point: not once is a Chinese Communist mentioned by name in the entirety of the passage, as if they were irrelevant!
Of course, reprisals (often violent) from the Chinese resistance towards the Japanese did occur to some extent, but should be credibly sourced and placed within wider context. Without addressing the above concerns, the article only serves to give credence to unsubstantiated atrocity propaganda put forward by the Japanese far-right, thereby engaging in both-sidesist downplaying of actual IJA atrocities. Hence, uncorroborated claims should be deleted if appropriate, the "dramatic" aspect requires toning down, while the content merits a large-scale revamp and incorporation of details from the Chinese Wikipedia where applicable. 118.141.212.168 (talk) 13:15, 17 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
