Mao & CCP look like a thief, who stole the victory of the anti-Japanese war, which were won by losing millions of lives of soldiers in the national army.
No wonder the Japanese looked down upon china now, and refused to negotiate about the island, because the CCP was not entitled to it
To be fair??? Do you really think you are fair on these political issues? If you want to be fair, don't just talk about the mistakes, talk some of the great achievements also, how about that?
Of course I understand the timing. If you read my comments carefully, your reasoning skill will not fail you to understand the difficulty to defend China against Japan invasion. If the defense of Shanghai was that difficult, how can you defend North East China? Don’t confuse Japan with America. They are not with the same order of magnitude in terms of ground fighting during WWII.
