The Communists did almost nothing to fight the Japanese.

The Communists did almost nothing to fight the Japanese.

You are correct except for one small detail-- they collected an inordinate amount of the weaponry after Japan surrendered and used it to defeat the Nationalists in the 1949 Civil War.

Fifth columnists in our own government stood by and allowed and even encouraged that to happen. We paid for it dearly less than a year later when their client state in North Korea streamed over the 38th parallel and started a bloody war.

I think they were busy being wiped out by the millions by the Japs. See Nanjing Massacre for reference?

Maybe even Mao came to full power because of the Japs? I'd have to look it up but I'm busy. I hate Mondays without Monday Night Football. ;-)

Stalin declared war on Japan 6 days before the Japanese agreed to surrender. He got a lot out of that--half of Korea and the ability to help the Communists in China in their war against the Nationalist government.

The Taiwan team won the Little League World Series yesterday--but under the name "Chinese Taipei." I believe that the LLWS organizers force them to use that label because of the demands of Red China.

Their primary focus was undermining the nationalists.
