AI notes: The formal surrender of Japanese forces in Nanking (Nanjing), China, occurred on September 7, 1945, shortly after Japan’s overall surrender in World War II on August 15, 1945 (V-J Day). The ceremony marked the official end of Japanese occupation in the city, which had been under Japanese control since the infamous Nanking Massacre of 1937–1938. Chinese Nationalist forces, led by Chiang Kai-shek’s government, oversaw the acceptance of the surrender. Japanese officers formally handed over control of military installations, weaponry, and prisoners of war, and agreements were made to restore Chinese civil authority. This surrender was part of the broader process of Japanese withdrawals across China following Japan’s capitulation, symbolizing the end of nearly eight years of brutal occupation in the region.
