THE JAPANESE WERE SO MERCILESSLY TO EVERYBODY THEY CONQUERED DURING THE WWII.
Why were the Japanese so merciless to Chinese people during World War II?
The Japanese were merciless to everybody they conquered, not just the Chinese.
It just happened that the Chinese were the most numerous people under Japanese occupation, and the ones that the Japanese got started on first: they invaded China in 1937, nearly 5 years before they went on a rampage throughout the rest of Asia.
As to why the Japanese were so merciless, it came down to intense Japanese racism, on par with the Nazis in believing that they were racially superior to everybody else, plus their warped bushido code of honor whereby surrender was the ultimate disgrace and ipso facto proof of inferiority.
To top it off, the Japanese military was intensely brutal, and the infliction of physical violence by superiors upon their subordinates was commonplace.
So combine all of that - intense racism, warped honor
code, and brutalized soldiers - and you get the kinds of irrational acts
of brutality and senseless atrocities the Japanese were famous for
during WW2.
