[edit] Rename?

Would a better name for this article be "Three Alls Policy"? -- Миборовский ^{U|T|C|M|E|Chugoku Banzai!} 23:27, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I did a quick Google search, and "Three Alls Policy" seems to turn up the most hits of any of the possible names, so I moved the article, with a redirect from Sanko. (We should keep the redirect though, as Herbert Bix uses the term Sanko almost exclusively when discussing the event. I imagine most readers of the book looking for further information will search under that name.) Bueller 007 11:41, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Translation please?

This book title is a long line of Japanese "Sankō, Nihonjin Chogoku ni okeru senso hanzai no kokuhaku" with no explanation of what it means. Based on my excellent command of Year 7 English, it says "Three-Alls, Japanese China something something something." Experts? --Sumple (Talk) 00:29, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

It would mean "Three-Alls: Confessions of War Crimes in China by Japanese".--Ryoske 03:09, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Doesn't make sense

"Many supposed victims of the Three Alls Policy, they claim, actually died at Chinese hands, and their deaths were misattributed to the Japanese" Needs to be Reworded --Bushido Brown 20:19, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. Written as it is, this is extremely racist. Why don't you deny the holocaust next?

Well, that would depend - who said this? It just says "right wing" politicians, it doesn't explicitly mention who among them is supposedly saying this. So, it should be rewritten to include a quote from someone who claimed this, assuming anyone ever did. It's not impossible for someone to have claimed this, no matter how odd it may seem to us. Stranger things have been claimed, and the Chinese and Japanese have been at odds for years, you know.

However, Japanese war crimes are quite well documented, so these points are not something that can be treated as merely 'allegations.' One only needs to look at the Soviet-German conflict to see similar parallels. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Aldis90 (talk • contribs) 03:31, 9 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Importance

This article was rated as being of low importance, which I found astonishing. Even if you think that this policy is historically questionable, the claim that it is true, the nature and implications of what is claimed and the fact that it is disputed is of very great importance - nationally, globally, historically and in terms of inclusion in this or any encyclopedia. I had no idea about the existence of this policy until I was linked here via wikipedia:World War II. I was very frustrated that there were no more details or at least links to more information. More please from those who can.

So, I changed it to 'high' importance. If you don't agree, please check with the criteria concerning importance ratings for this encyclopedia, before changing. Thanks. Drywontonmee 00:30, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
