stated that 90% of the world-wide illegal opium and heroin trade was in the hands of the Japanese drug dealers.

Ultimately, it was the Marco Polo Bridge incident in Peking that finally started the full-scale second Sino-Japanese war

underneath these stones, rest the remains of the innocent victims.
