Ok, that's offensive and shows how much you know about China. I'm not even going to address that. Off topic.
If you're here to find out why most people here don't care about the Ukraine and support Russia, it's not because of that business deal which they stole money or what Azov battallion did during the Hong Kong riots. I didn't know about that until during this war.
It's because they chose to become a US lapdog. If they had remained neutral like Finland and Russia invaded they would have sympathy. But they have no self respect for themselves and tried to attach themselves to NATO. Worse then that, they were happy to be used to provoke Russia in a political chess game, thinking that America would save them. It was a region that developed great things in Soviet times, but they squandered everything and turned their country into a cheap wh*re for America to make money. I don't like Putin's Russia but at least Russia has respect for itself.
Of course now we know that Finland isn't really neutral and no European country can be trusted, so we are grateful to the Ukraine for showing us that at least. Whatever type of European you are you should learn that lesson from this war. If you want to fight America's war you will just be a pawn.
You are extremely delusional when you fantasize that a disunited China alone could have defeated Japan in 1937-45.
When Japan surrendered, it still occupied most of eastern China. The Japanese had recently been driven out of Manchuria
by the USSR, not by the Chinese.
You may like to argue that Japanese naval supremacy over China was largely irrelevant to the war on land.
But how would you fantasize that China could have defeated Japan in the air?
China's aircraft industry could produce few aircraft, which were clearly inferior to the best Japanese aircraft.
In the late 1930s, China bought a license from the USSR to produce the Polikarpov I-16, which was supposed to
become China's standard fighter. It never was put into mass production, however, because when the Mitsubishi
A6M Reisen appeared, it became clear that the I-16 was obsolete. Just in case the USA and UK made a separate
peace with Japan, Chinese engineers did design an indigenous fighter of sorts, a derivative of an American fighter.
"Based largely on the
, it was of mixed construction with wooden three-spar wings,
welded steel tube fuselage and plywood skinning."
Do you imagine that Chiang Kai-shek's highest priority was winning the war against Japan?
No, Chiang's highest priority was staying at the top of Kuomintang, which meant sabotaging some of
his generals whom he feared could become too successful in battle and might seek to replace him.
Chiang's next highest priority was winning the civil war against the Communists.
Defeating the Japanese came after that. Chiang could take comfort in the belief that his allies would
primarily win the war against Japan for him, while he conserved his forces for the following civil war.
Reading this forum should quickly disillusion anyone who assumed that nationalistic Chinese tend
to be any less ignorant, deluded, dishonest, or inhumane than nationalistic Americans on average.
