    China's State Archives Administration has released another 10 minute video on its website documenting the Nanjing Massacre. The video is the second of a seven-part video series scheduled to be released daily that will reveal Japanese troops' crimes against humanity during the invasion period.

    The video includes a report by the Japanese Central China Area Army on the restoration of public security of Nanjing in February 1938. The report stated Nanjing's population shrunk sharply to 300-thousand from the 1 million after the massacre. According to a report, in Nanjing, there were some 25-thousand Japanese soldiers, and 141 women forced into sexual slavery, who were called "comfort women" by the Japanese army, with quote "one woman to serve 178 soldiers". 

    In December 1937, Japanese troops captured the city of Nanjing and went on a six-week campaign of slaughter. More than 300,000 Chinese soldiers and civilians were murdered. The Nanjing Massacre is considered one of the worst atrocities Japanese invaders committed in China.
