{{quotebox|With the making of the Hitler-Stalin pact, the Soviet Union was at war on the side of Germany. The Chinese Communists (CCP) stopped fighting the Japanese in the ongoing Second Sino-Japanese War, and resumed guerrilla operations against the Chinese National Government (KMT). The CCP devoted their energies to fighting the Chinese government for the portions of eastern China between the railroad lines, held by the Japanese.}}

How much do you know on this topic, just out of curiosity? What definitely has sparked my curiosity at times in my life (having grown up under a semi-traditional Chinese household) was how amicable my parents and family friends are towards Japanese culture, and how little they ever emphasized the brutality of Japanese war crimes during WWII. There have been times when my father brought up American imperialism, slavery, etc., yet never would invoke a mention of the sheer inhumane extent of torture in China by Fascist Japan.

It's interesting that the same first-generation Chinese immigrants, brought up under CCP indoctrination and who despise [[Chiang Kai-Shek]] while glorifying or at least defending/trivializing [[Mao Zedong]], are so strangely prone to disregarding the sheer horrifying record of Japanese war crimes. I've never quite had an intrinsic bitter hatred for the CCP before, though now am uncovering some clues. —[[User:LT|<code><span style="background:#FF8181">'''LT'''</span></code>]] '''''[[User talk:LT|^{Rev. 22:13}]]''''' Monday, 16:22, September 18, 2023 (EDT)
