China’s resistance to Japan is one of the great untold stories of World War II. Though China was the first Allied power to fight the Axis, it has received far less credit for its role in the Pacific theater than the United States, Britain or even the Soviet Union, which only joined the war in Asia in August 1945. The Chinese contribution was pushed aside soon after the conflict, as an inconvenient story in the neat ideological narrative of the Cold War. Though far weaker and poorer than the mighty United States or the British Empire, China played a major role in the war. Some 40,000 Chinese soldiers fought in Burma alongside American and British troops in 1944, helping to secure the Stilwell Road linking Lashio to Assam in India. In China itself, they held down some 800,000 Japanese soldiers. The costs were great. At least 14 million Chinese were killed and some 80 million became refugees over the course of the war. Quick summery Japan invaded China in 1937 and brought World War II to the Far East and the pacific theaters. The US waited until 1941 to official send aids to help China after the bombing of the Pearl Harbor that took place in the same year and directly sent troops to China in 1945, a total 9 years after the invasion started. China had been fighting the war longer than any other country, as well as the difference in the nature of the war for the Chinese from them: for the Chinese, it was a war to liberate their homeland from invading forces who had a larger number of modern weaponries and well-trained troops. The contribution of the Chinese to the pacific theater was immense, and was disproportionate to the recognition it gained at the end of the war. --Wendi Qiu

The US wasn't waiting to send aid -- there was a little problem with China's politics. It was a German ally, then a Soviet one -- and if Japan had offered them a deal, they would've been fighting for the Axis. At the time China had the largest standing army on Earth but they had no air force, virtually no navy and all their equipment was from WW1! Also, the ROC had no intention of ever becoming a democracy. The impetuous was the possibility of Japan aquiring China's 3 million man army.

Not quite. American and British joined Asia war after Dec 7, 1941. British knew sooner or later Japan had to be dealt. She still had considerable empire in Asia such as Hong Kong, Singapore, and India. FDR and First Lady Eleanor all had personal attachment to China. FDR was wealthy not because he was the President, but because of the wealth his maternal grandfather left for him. Warren Delano was the biggest opium smuggler to China. Delanos profited tremendously in China. Japan did not declare war on the concessions in China until Dec 7, 1941 when United States declared war against Japan and the Axis. Axis was not formed until later. Before Axis was formed German Military advisors actually assisted Chinese in resistance against Japan. Look up General Alexander Falkenhausen. Battle of Shanghai where the German Advisors were in the frontline assisting Chinese Revolutionary Army 87 and 88 division. Chinese Revolutionary Army at the time were wearing Stahl Helmet and using Mauser rifles or copies of them known as Chiang Kai Shek Rifle. Chinese officers standard issue pistol was Mauser c96.

As an English man who has been living in Nanning, southern China, for the last 13 years I have to say thank you for this. No-one pretends there are no serious problems still in China but it is refreshing to see a fair summary of China. Too many videos concentrate only on the negative and the propaganda put out by western media really gives no idea as to life on a normal day to day basis. Although there still are many problems to concentrate only on those by the western media is to report the splinter in the eye while ignoring the plank in their own.

My American grandfather, English grandmother, and my mother, worked and grew up in China, both in Shanghai and Beijing. My grandfather taught English in both universities and developed an English language program for the Oxford University Press which was designed for adults. The family had many wonderful Chinese friends. They never saw them again after the war. My grandfather taught me about Chinese Opera. My favorite Chinese series is “Winter Begonia”. Through her collection of Chinese embroideries, my Grandmother made it possible for me to love the work, skill and art of woman’s hands. All of our countries, England, the US, Russia, China, and Japan have episodes in our histories which we are not particularly proud, including many of the politics of today. At 80, I chose to believe that there are admirable cultural qualities in every country that define our identities.

What I do know is that this documentary overstates the role of Mao and the Communist Party in defending against Japanese aggression. The truth is that Chiang and the KMT did their best to resist the Japanese invasion, while Mao was working to preserve his strength to take power in China after WWII. The Japanese planes bombed Chongqing (Chiang's temporary capital) but turned a blind eye to Mao's capital, Yan'an. In fact there is evidence that Mao had a secret understanding with the Japanese. After World War II, when Mao became the leader of the People's Republic of China, during a meeting with a visiting Japanese delegation he even thanked his Japanese guests, saying that he was grateful for their aggression and that the Communists could not have taken control of the new China if it were not for that.

Fyi: the term "qu-lee" is Cantonese for "no speak" -- as in "no speak English." It comes from the Qing era when trade was controlled by the "Taipan." He decided which ships could dock at the trade port. But the sailors couldn't disembark -- they weren't even allowed on the dock! Instead, the laborers-- "qu-lees" -- loaded and unloaded the ships. They weren't permitted to speak to anyone -- just do what they're told by the Taipan. If anyone had a question, he had to ask the Taipan who spoke many languages.

It also left out much of what China was like in the 20th century, and the people who suffered through it. The people who suffered Communist rule have largely been ignored and forgotten. Of course, there is the obligatory criticism of Chiang Kai-shek. Someone has to be blamed for the lost of China. How the Communist managed to take over is poorly explained. This seems to exemplify the lack of understanding of China. Certainly not an accurate portrait.

My maternal grandparents (ethnic Chinese with heritage from Western China who looks more middle eastern than Asian) ran into the jungle and my mother was just a few weeks old. They almost lost her to the Japanese bayonets. Approximately 35 millions Chinese through Asia were massacred, comparing to about 6 millions Jews who were massacred.

Lots of BS in this flick. Lin Biao was a great general but fought in only one battle in WWII (and is praised by no one for that), was wounded and then went to the Soviet Union; he sat out the rest of the conflict. The National Gov't fought most of the battles against the Japanese, not the Communists. As to whether Mao was a great thinker or Jiang a bad general, in the Civil War a lot of it boiled down to the Second Battle of Siping in which the National Gov't, after pressure from the Americans, gave the Communists a cease fire when, in fact, they were on the ascendant. Finally, the wrong side won. Proof: 1. The Great Leap Forward (and every other foolish Mao campaign from 1949 to his death) 2. The endless, costly chasm for all concerned, with the West, just as with Ulyanov's Russia, which still continues, for both countries.

Every country was economically poor and culturally primitive.If the progress is determined by the tangible progress, all the nations progressed a lot. Political and economic aspects don't tell the whole truth about humans.

Every country and in China’s case, a whole civilization, wanes and waxes like the moon. It’s nothing to do with “primitive” culture as China was already at world pinnacle in 221 BCE.
