There have been increasing calls from National People’s Congress (NPC) delegates to have files on the Nanjing Massacre submitted to the UNESCO heritage project and become part of the UNESCO memories of the world.
China is also considering remembrance days to mark the defeat of the Japanese and the Nanjing massacre: September 3 could become “Victory Day of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression”, while December 13 may become “national memorial day to commemorate those killed by Japanese aggressors during the Nanking massacre.”

"UNESCO's Memory of the World Programme is an international initiative launched to safeguard the documentary heritage of humanity against collective amnesia, neglect, the ravages of time and climatic conditions, and WILLFUL AND DELIBERATE DESTRUCTION." ---------------- China - the world's No.1 perpetrator of history distortion, history denial and history destruction - trying to use this service for its own political gain is beyond ironic and beyond insulting. CHINA: When you call for the Cultural Revolution, Great Leap Forward, and mass-murder and cultural genocide of Tibetan people to be accurately documented and memorialised, THEN we'll consider your wishes for historical documentation and exposure to be genuine. Oh, by the way - China didn't win WW2.
