Detailed explanation of why the Japanese did not kill the Jews

In fact, the Japanese had other plans. During World War II, the Japanese formulated a "puffer fish" plan for the Jews. It is known that puffer fish is delicious but Highly toxic. While admitting Jews into Shanghai, the Japanese had long been eyeing the pockets of the Jews. In their view, no one in the world was better at doing business than the Jews. If they were good at doing business, they would naturally be rich.

During the Russo-Japanese War in 1905, there was a German Jewish financier, Jacob Schiff. At the critical moment, he was the only one who believed that Japan would win. He issued bonds to Japan. The navy lent huge sums of money to help the Japanese navy defeat the Russian naval fleet. Korekiyo Takahashi, a Japanese clerk who ran the business at that time, served as the Prime Minister of Japan in 1921. His daughter lived in Schiff's home while studying in the United States, so he was deeply impressed by the financial power of the Jews.

Although during World War II, many people in Japan supported the persecution of Jews, of course even the persecution could not be carried out until the Jews' money was defrauded. Some Japanese even suggested setting up a refugee camp on Chongming Island in Shanghai to house Jews in order to defraud the world's largest Jewish wealth.

But they were disappointed to find that almost all the Jews who poured into Shanghai were penniless. In a secret report on the Jews in Shanghai made by the Japanese at that time, a Japanese wrote disappointedly: "Most of the (Jewish) refugees coming to Shanghai are those who were expelled from Germany. They are limited to bringing less than 10 marks in cash. The wealthy ones They came to Shanghai in exchange for cameras, precision machinery and other items, and then sold them to survive. However, these people accounted for less than 20% of the total number, and most of the others arrived in Shanghai with no money. ?I believe this is the reason why the Japanese did not kill the Jews, but there is still no explanation as to why the Jews fled to Shanghai during World War II.
