I know this film is dated 1937 and worse things are to come but I don't think we fully appreciate what China and East Asia suffered under Imperial Japanese occupation. It is on par with Nazi atrocities in Europe; chemical and germ warfare/experiments, rape, summary arrests, executions and even in some instances canabilism. The scenes of exodus are telling as the young and old suffer the most. I can't source this figure now but I recall reading that on average as many as 10,000 people died a week, every week that the Japanese prosecuted the war. Thanks for the upload.

@@Kotak8 "Tibet & Sinkiang(Xinjiang) have always been the territories of China" I have to stop you right here. These territories were only part of China when Mongols conquered and installed a puppet govt. in China called Yuan Dynasty. Then the Qing controlled Tibet and Xinjiang. So for it's majority of History, both Tibet and Xinjiang have different people and for more than 50% of their history they weren't part of China. People of Tibet are more culturally related to India, Uyghurs are more related to Central Asians or Mongolians. Also the Yuan Dynasty even though being Chinese was made by Mongols, so only Qing was the Chinese dynasty which had control over these territories

Since it is a country, those foreign races Why do we occupy and invade our women and children every time? This book is read for you nerds. 300 years ago, Houjin killed our Han people in Liaodong, and Houjin admitted that we are a country? Mongolia occupied our country 800 years ago, and 100,000 Song people threw their bodies into the sea at Yashan, and the bodies were all over the sea. They directly wiped out our country and killed countless people in our country. If they were a whole of our country, Then why Mongolia wants to kill us Han people, so it was wrong at the beginning, it should be that China has never been a multi-ethnic country, but whoever occupied our Han people and ruled our Han people, then whoever can be a part of our Chinese nation

That being said, it's very difficult to know what a population really desires if its located within a police state.

I remember her saying they had had to leave Beijing after the Japanese occupied it in 1937, even though the US and Japan at that point were not at war.

[@jiqichen7997]

Initially, the Yangtze Patrol was formed from ships of the United States Navy and assigned to the East India Squadron. In 1868, patrol duties were carried out by the Asiatic Squadron of the United States Navy. Under the unequal treaties, the United States, Japan, and various European powers, especially the United Kingdom, which had been on the Yangtze since 1897, were allowed to cruise China's rivers. In 1902, the United States Asiatic Fleet took control of the operations of the Yangtze Patrol. In 1922, Yangtze Patrol was established as a formal component of the United States Navy in China. In 1942, at the beginning of World War II, the Yangtze Patrol effectively ceased operations in China because of the limited resources of the United States Navy, which needed the patrol crews and their ships elsewhere in fighting Japanese forces throughout the Pacific. Following the end of World War II, the Yangtze Patrol resumed its duties in 1945, but on a more limited basis with fewer ships during the Chinese Civil War. When the Chinese Communist forces eventually occupied the Yangtze River valley in 1949, the United States Navy permanently ceased operations and disbanded the Yangtze Patrol.

@@DMBall DM, what do you know of Jimmy Carter inviting the Chinese Communist Party to take a seat in the UN Security Council? I cannot for the life of me fathom why this would be considered a good idea given the Party's track record of human rights abuse. Currently they are exploiting that position during a military coup in Myanmar which many including myself strongly believe offers the Party proxy control over the land to their south and its port prior to a foreshadowed strike on Hong Kong. As i write, so many skirmishes and pieces set up on the board are underway, with a flotilla of over 200 vessels illegally moored in Filipino waters and refusing to leave. As well, if a US president can invite the Party into the UN Security Council, do we know if a US president can rescind said invitation due to exploitation of a role intended to support peace and human rights?

[@P7777-u7r]

Its very glossed over but stopping the spread of communism in China was very very much a goal of Japan's policy. The Chinese communists were directly backed by stalin then and it was a very real possibility that if the communists held a comfortable enough foothold in China the red army would have Japan surrounded and Japan did not trust that the fractured republic of China could hold them off plus there are large centuries-held grudges between China and Japan that the western powers didnt grasp. Time will tell if Americas shortsighted quasi-imperial interventionism has created a long term consequence powder keg in Asia. They do not forget the past over there the way westerners have done as of late not even the pre western contact past.

Forger. The Soviet Union was China's only ally at this point. Throughout the 1930s, incidents occurred on the Japanese-Soviet border, which turned into open conflict by 1938, while the United States and England continued to trade with Japan. In turn, with the beginning of the Japanese invasion of China, the Soviet Union negotiated with Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Zedong and convinced the latter to lay down arms and become part of the Kuomintang army. Leave the Taiwanese tales about the valiant Kuomintang, who defended China alone. Do not conceal the role of the Soviet Union and the Chinese communists.

[@RTEducators]

One thing they should have clarified but I guess at that time is not important to do so is that this is KMT (Kuomingtang) CHINA aka ROC (Republic of China) which at the time is the Nationalist Party that is today's Taiwan. Taiwan is the western common name for Republic of China after the party retreated to the Taiwan Island due to losing mainland china to the PROC (People's Republic of China) run by the Communist Party whose political leader is Mao Zedong.

[@dainironfoot5198]

This would have seemed obvious back then, the KMT was simply the government of China at the time, and it's unlikely many in the west would have even known about Mao hiding out in Shaanxi.

[@kludgeaudio]

[@mothratemporalradio517]

@@kludgeaudio appreciated, but i suggest contemporary knowledge in the West about the history of the CCP, Mao and the KMT is grossly suboptimal considering the impact Xi Jinping's administration is having on the contemporary world. Even i am too vague about the KMT, and i've noodled about studying Chinese history for a couple of decades. Are there any other texts anyone would recommend? A number of thinkers are concerned we are on the brink of "WW3" in which Taiwan will be the lynchpin. Historically my interest gravitated towards the mainland and while i am no fan of the Party, i seem to have gotten the impression the KMT were just as problematic of not more so. In another thread i saw people discussing fairly nuanced points. I'm wondering if there's any resources, especially readily available ones, anyone might point me towards, especially where this applies to the underlying basis for contemporary contestation. But also just to better round out and concretise my history in this area.
