BEIJING (Reuters) - Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Wednesday that Japanese invaders of the country before and during World War Two behaved with barbarity and tried to slaughter the people into surrender, as China gears up for a military parade to mark the war's end.

Millions of Chinese died in the war, and China rarely misses an opportunity to remind its people and the world of the horror visited upon it, especially as the government thinks Japan has never properly atoned.
