history

The province was captured by the Imperial Japanese Army in 1931 . She had slipped this into the puppet government of Manchukuo . During World War II , Japan set up Unit 731 , a secret facility of the Kwantung Army , here. She carried out experiments on living people here , killing several thousand people in this way. At the end of the war in 1945, when the production facilities were destroyed by the Japanese army, rats infected with the plague were released, which caused an epidemic in the province and also in Jilin with over 20,000 deaths.

Demography and Autonomy

About 95% of the population are Han Chinese, about 0.3% of the population are Muslim Hui Chinese . The Manchus make up just under 3% of the population, Koreans around 1%, but only 0.4% Mongolians have an autonomous district in Dorbod (Daqing).

Between the two world wars, there was a significant community of Russian exiles in Harbin. Among the Russians, on the other hand, there were several thousand Jews who had fled Russia, whose leader Abraham Kaufman , like the Russian “whites”, collaborated with the Japanese. The Fugu plan in this regard , however, failed due to Japanese repression against the Jewish emigrants in Harbin.
