you people hated Communist China and blamed Mao Zedong and CCP for all the ills of China then and now, right ? the truth is if the Japanese had not invaded China in 1937, the Communists would never have conquered China back then, not even a god damn chance in hell ! even Mao Zedong admitted that fact when he met with Japanese Prime Minister Takuei in Nanjing 1972. in a sense, the Japanese were indirectly responsible for the 80 million deaths and the destruction of traditional Chinese cultures and values during Mao Zedong's rule in China ( 1949-1975 ). so you people should hate the Japanese bandits most of all, not idolize and be proud of them for illogical reasons...
Yes because it is Chinese or China people ( aka mainland Chinese ) that are absolutely responsible for their poor image and degraded reputation of Chinese people. The Chinese were already having civil war since 1927 both the CCP and Kuamintang were founded by Han Chinese and they fought against eachother. is because of Mao Zedong and CCP that are responsible for the Chinese people death toll of 80 million ( although other estimates is 40 million), the Japanese didn't destroy their own culture but the Chinese idiots who were brainwashed did.
Mao Zedong thanked the Japanese for invading China.
Mao's speech on welcoming Japanese politicians(24 Jan 1961):
" Partial translation:In the past Japanese warlords had occupied a large part of China, because of that Chinese people had learned a lesson. Without Japan's invasion, Chinese people would not be awaken, neither colud they be united, in that case we(communists) would still stay in the mountains, let alone coming to Beijing to watch the opera. Precisely because of the Japanese Imperial Army, which had occupied a large part of China, making Chinese people no where to go, once they understood, they began taking up arm-struggle, resulting in the establish of many counter-Japanese military bases, thus creating favourable conditions for the coming war of liberation. Japanese capitalist and warlords have done a good deed for us(communist), if ever we need to say thank you, I would like to say Thank you to Japanese war lords. "
Chinese people only have themselves to blame back than and it was due to their inferior leadership.
