I looked up the article and found the answer:

I call upon China’s leadership—and the conscience of every Chinese citizen—to recognize our shared past trauma, born of two of history’s most harrowing chapters: the [Nanjing Massacre] and the October 7 massacre in Israel.

Relative to the size of each nation’s population, the massacres in Nanking and southern Israel are chillingly comparable.

To paraphrase, China know from experience about a country denying war crimes, so it should sympathise with Israel over the debunked lies the author regurgitates about Oct7 and abandon Iran because they EEEEVIL.

That’s just flat out insulting to suggest Nanjing and 10/7 are even remotely comparable. What the Japanese forces did makes even the Zionist propaganda version of 10/7 look like school yard bullying.

It's even more insulting because Nanjing is infinitely more comparable to what the fucking Israeli scumbags are doing to Gaza right the fuck now than 10/7 would ever be. Israelis shut your fucking ass up and quit spewing wet shit out of your disgusting mouths challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

That is somehow much worse than what I thought they were going for with Japanese colonialism more generally, which would still be an abominable, nonsensical comparison but not as acutely gross
