We will not forget the casualties, pain, and suffering that the Japanese imperialist regime imposed on the Chinese people. Any attempt to deny or cover-up this tragedy will be met with strongest condemnation.

Please highlight the portion of this text which you believe serves as proof.
All of it, and the fact that it stopped once the Japanese surrendered because of the nukes.
Irrelevant. You're conflating the surrender with the bombings. If there was the possibility of surrender in any other context, then this argument dissolves. Your task, then, is to prove that a less brutal Japanese surrender could not possibly have been reached by other means. Go.
Well given that after the first nuke they still wanted to keep fighting and refused to surrender I'd say that proves it.
This article gives a decent discussion of why the US really dropped the bomb. https://www.liberationnews.org/u-s-dropped-nuclear-bombs-hiroshima-nagasaki/
It was ultimately to scare off the USSR and, maybe to some extent, to get revenge for Pearl Harbor. If you think those reasons justify the mass killing of around 200,000 people then idk what to say. It seems clear, and widely accepted among historians who are outside of the neoliberal/conservative circle, that the USA did not need to drop the bomb
Japan had been trying to surrender the entire time. What America was demanding was unconditional surrender, which included the right to execute the emperor. America could have secured the Japanese surrender with a fucking letter. They used the bombs to secure more favorable terms.
