When the atomic bomb was dropped, Dagong Bao welcomed the American decision with an editorial entitled "A new era has begun." It said in part, "The atomic bomb has greatly shortened the war and greatly reduced the loss of human life. Although the bomb is a killer, it is also a blessing that ensures peace among mankind."
