[Verginius Rufus]

I am well aware that Chiang Kai-shek was the leader of one of the major states in the war against Japan--since the Japanese had invaded China and occupied a large portion of it. My understanding is that Chiang and Mao made a kind of truce and both were supposed to fight the Japanese but that Mao did little of that--but did benefit from the Soviets entering the war at the very end (access to weapons to be used against the Nationalist regime). I think Chiang was present at one of the major meetings in the course of the war with FDR and Churchill.

But in terms of making Japan surrender, it was the American atomic bombs that did that. How many bombs did the Chinese drop on Japan?

We do not disagree on this. The end of the war was "Fat Man." The preceding years from 1941 to 1945 involved all the allies, and at great cost to all. China's war with Japan went from 1937 forward.
