Plans are underway to build in Shanghai a memorial hall for the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, the Japanese equivalent of the Nuremberg trials, according to a Chinese academic who heads a center dedicated to researching the so-called Tokyo Trials.
Cheng Zhaoqi, director of Shanghai Jiao Tong University's Center for the Tokyo Trial Studies, said Saturday that the Chinese government gave its approval for the project in summer 2016.
A site for the hall in Shanghai, which was formerly occupied by Japan, is being selected, with the completion date still to be decided.
