Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kai-shek's expectations of the West and Japan stemmed from their class affiliations, but I object to discussing Chiang Kai-shek and Sun Yat-sen together, as they were fundamentally different.This also applies to Jiang Jieshi and Sun yut sen because both were Christian hoping for support by the west but the West proceeded to stab China in the back by secretly supporting the Japanese invasion until Japan invaded Burma/Indochina and pearl harbour.
All the actions you observe aimed at currying favor with the West can be understood as common traits of bourgeois compradors.
India, Ukraine, South Korea, Taiwan Province and even most of the EU countries, you will find that these places are surprisingly similar
