Chinese Program

Jon Burgundy: It’s July 8, 1937. Shocking events are developing in the Far East. The Japanese have suddenly attacked the city of Wanping, China. However, it seems that there is no good reason for this brutal attack. The stories have been piling up on both sides, but I, Jon Burgundy, will get to the bottom of this. Earlier this month, the Japanese stationed troops to the east of Beijing, claiming to be holding training exercises. Then, just this week, the Japanese claimed to have lost a soldier in Wanping. To find this man, they ordered the Chinese government to let them into the city, but the government denied them entry. Today, the Japanese, infuriated, struck the city with full force, quickly taking it as their own.
For more on this, we go to our field correspondent in Wanping, Chrysanthemum McButterscotchington. C Mac, can you hear me?

C Mac: Loud and clear, Jon. It is certainly a brutal scene here in Wanping. I’m here with Chinese citizen Wang Xiaowen. Wang, how did the Japanese even get into the city?

Wang: Well, after they were not permitted to enter the city, they started bombing it. Then, Japanese troops rolled in, and they took the city with relative ease. We had no chance to defend ourselves, and it was hardly a fight.

C Mac: Yes Jon, as Mr. Xiaowen said, the Japanese took the city without much opposition. There seem to be an infinite amount of Japanese troops patrolling the streets, while the Chinese are nowhere to be seen. The invaders are ruthless and show no rules of engagement. They have been mercilessly slaughtering citizens for no reason. Wang, how do you feel about the behavior of the Japanese?

Wang: I am terrified for my life! I have seen my neighbors gunned down in the street, and the Japanese are acting like animals. They have treated us as though we are not humans. They must be stopped or else they may take all of China.

C Mac: We certainly hope they do not. We will continue looking into this attack at a later date. Back to
