This China, would have been split and subverted into many different lands and many different slave nations for the west, if not for a group of men led by one man, and that man was the mighty Chairman Mao.
Slave nations, under Russia and the USSR, under Japan, under, the USA, under Canada, under the UK, under France, under Germany, under even Australia and New Zealnd, under Thailand and Vietnam, under India and even Pakistan.
Split and destroyed as was their intention and their pre determined malice to do so.
Only the massive strength of Chairman Mao and the CCP kept China free
There are those of us, that desire to see China forever free from the west.
Only because Chairman Mao and the CCP did have the bomb that they had to have, did the west back off and keep their distance.
Too many write this that and the other, that is trash, has no fact.
Why is the face of Chairman Mao on every single note of money in China.
Do you know why. ?
Because the money would have little power and little value to the people if the mighty mans image was not on the notes.
Wake up to yourself, you elite and you western running dogs.
Chairman Mao was the man, is the man, that made China all that she is.
Stop your very dumb and very stupid talk that is was this man or that.
It was not.
It was Chairman Mao.
The strength of China to this very day, to this very second is still the same man and that man is Chairman Mao.
Combine that with the magnificent PLA and that is the reality.
Write all the trash and all the elite thought you want.
This China is here because of Chairman Mao and the CCP.
One mans face on every note, to inspire confidence and to inspire memory and to make sure the truth and the facts are remembered.
Chairman Mao
He made China, he protected China, he is the reason there is a China.
Chairman Mao
Wake up you running dogs, you westerners and you elite. China will never be taken over and destroyed by the west.
Never.
Why.?
Chairman Mao
That is why.
Chairman Mao
No Chairman Mao No New China.
Now, give the running dog theory a rest and eat the truth and the facts.
What a mighty man he was and all China miss him dearly.
Chairman Mao the man who made the China you are looking at.
They put this out over Google News, so millions of readers see it. Is this really the face China wants to put forward to the world? I sure hope not.

Hey, it was the Japanese who forced out the Europeans not the Chinese. Japan beat the British right back to india and everybody else ran away or was interned.
Also I would like to tell the world that many of the weapons and supplies that were used to defeat the nationalist governemnt during the early days of the war were captured from the Japanese after the retreat.
Mao owes much of his dominance to Japan having cleared out the Europeans and for providing him with enough captured weapons to wage a war.
On the other hand, he couldn’t shift the British from Hong Kong or the Portugese from Macao, the lease simply ran up and they left like they had always promised.
Not only did the PRC’s generals not reclaim any real teretories from the Europeans but it was under the their collective noses that Taiwan came under independant governance and later under the protection of the United States.
Lets chalk these things up
Japan clears out the Europeans
Mao uses Japanese guns to wage a lot of his war
The party simply waited for the British and the Portugese to go home
Taiwan come under the control of the nationalist.
Hey, I can really see the China at work here.

And the Jappies just packed and left by themselves, did they?
And did their guns fire themselves?
Mao’s People’s War tactics contributed to the Japanese surrender. (Contributed, because, to be fair, the Nationalists fought most of the regular wars). And, obviously, when you’re a peasant army with no production base, you’re going to have to use your enemy’s guns. What’s wrong with that?
As for the islands: The CCP didn’t much of a navy back then. What are they gonna do, swim to Taiwan?
And a new China cannot afford to make enemies of the great powers. There’s only so much you can do with People’s War.
They did manage to kick the Nationalists, who were much better armed and trained, off the mainland, though.
In the end, it comes down to this: what, you think you, or anyone else, could have done better, starting with a bunch of ragtag, underfed peasants?

403200 … basically yes … the Japanese did just pack up and leave on their own … from China that is. Chairman Mao certainly didn’t have much to do with it. Most of Japanese held China was still Japanese held right up until the day of surrender (to the Americans) … then there was a race in China for the different factions to take their surrender … the Japanese in the meantime just did nothing and waited, and withdrew in due course. Even according to the chairman’s words, the communists only devoted about 10% of their attention to the Japanese … the rest was on party expansion and oppostion to the Guomindang … and preparation for the civil war that both sides knew was to follow. To give Chairman Mao any credit at all for the Japanese defeat, is quite frankly, a laughable notion.

I’m not going to bother with a translation, but suffice it to say its an old revolutionary song.
Perhaps Filthy Stinking no.9 should take his own advice and do some research before running his mouth off as well. Granted the communists were not instrumental in winning the second Sino-Japanese war, however, they were definetly responsible for prolonging the conflict on and forceing the Nationalists from capitulating. The only major communist offensive effort, the hundred regiments campaign, had mixed results. However, one of the major gains at the time from the battle was the relieving of Jiang’s provisional capital at Chong Qing. At the time the Japanese had captured a major passageway on the road to Chong Qing and were threatening the provisional capital itself (the name of the valley escapes me). One effect of the Mao/Zhu De led campaign (and one that was promoted at the time) was to relieve Chong Qing by cutting Japanese supply lines and forcing the relocation of divisions of the IJA from the Chong Qing front. This diversion in turned allowed the Nationalist to regroup and retake the major artery and insured that the capital wasn’t threatened again by the IJA for the remainder of the war. Ironically enough, Zhu De ended up being purged during the Cultural Revolution in part for this role. He was denounced as a counter-revolutionary warlord and a Nationalist collaborator.
Please, I doubt you have little more than a cursory understanding of the phases of the second Sino-Japanese war let alone the particular strategies employed or the major battles fought. Generalist portraits of the conflict such as the one you’ve managed to paint are simply amateurish and I find it hypocritical that you would criticize mr numbers of history that you yourself barely comprehend.

Just to make another correction. ACB, the majority of weapons employed by the then named Chinese red army during the second Sino-Japanese war were not of Japanese origin, but rather of Nationalist origin. The Communists made ample use of captured Japanese weapons, but they rarely lasted long as munnitions were difficult to acquire in addition to poor treatment of weapons. The majority of the communist armory consisted in fact of German weapons that were in ample supply in China at the time. (Luger parabellums, Mauser 98’s, and MG-34’s.)

i can’t believe peking duck keeps posting on “chairman” posts. (it IS hillarious, though, so don’t stop because of my incredulity!)
the china daily online picks out anti-western posts from its forum to represent “readers’ voice,” and this character, who goes by the handle “chairman,” often gets his stuff selected.
believe it or not, he is actually an old white guy who’s been living in china for years.

“believe it or not, he is actually an old white guy who’s been living in china for years.”
why is it that every time i read a psycho editorial, people always explain that “it is an old white guy who’s been living in china for years”?
i live here, and really haven’t seen that many old white guys who have been here for years and spew off this kind of garbage.
it seems like a typical conversion myth.

Hey ‘ACB’:
About your comments: “Mao owes much of his dominance to Japan having cleared out the Europeans and for providing him with enough captured weapons to wage a war.
On the other hand, he couldn’t shift the British from Hong Kong or the Portugese from Macao, the lease simply ran up and they left like they had always promised.”
I’m reading The Private Life of Chairman Mao which I smuggled back from Kathmandu by his doctor, and he says that after the visit of Nixon, the Japanese were insulted that they hadn’t been told beforehand about it. Their Prime Minister had actually taken great risk and visited Mao right after, and Mao told him exactly what you did: no apology is needed, because without you guys, we would never have been able to take power.
As for the second point, I’m not too sure. I think he could have taken Hong Kong whenever he wanted (especially during the Cultural Revolution) but for what reason? It provided him with his only big market, would eventually return to China and, as he himself said, gave the Chinese a cause to unite around. The Brits were simply doing them a favour; why jeopardise things? By the way, even during the horrible famine going on during the Great Leap Backward, the Chinese always made sure that their deliveries to Hong Kong of it was totally dependent on were made. Hardly the action of a man who felt pressed to take HK.

First: indeed he might have. I think he was gloating, more than anything else, though.
Second: Hong Kong is a very convenient thing to have. It is a part of China, yet it is never included in foreign sanctions. Westerners are more comfortable dealing with Hong Kong. China is better off leaving it alone – so long as it doesn’t get out of hand, like it’s doing right now.

Jing, I’ve demonstrated time and again on this website that I have a better knowledge of Chinese history that you do … so talk as much as you like about me “running my mouth off” … but refer back to my earlier comment about when it’s better to stay silent …
As for your comment about the 100 Regiments Campaign … get real. You honestly think it had any effect on the final outcome of the war? Or are you just offering it up because you couldn’t come up with anything better? I suspect the latter.

for some strange reason, i’m totally addicted to the chinadaily forum and know this poster pretty well. he’s admitted on multiple occasions that he’s an old whitey who “owes his life to the chinese people.” believe me or not, i’m just saying it cause i’ve been on the chinadaily board for nine months now.
we started a little bruhaha there concerning this peking duck post, too, just like we did the last one. i told china daily they were doing themselves and their country a huge disservice by giving this wacko a platform.
