China says 300,000 people were killed in an orgy of murder, rape and destruction when the eastern city — then the capital — fell to the Japanese imperial army, and the incident has haunted Sino-Japanese ties ever since. Beijing lodged a formal complaint over the denial and Nanjing officials said they were freezing twin city activities in protest.
