shareI remember Croft!
China was one of the Allies...they held much of Asia under Japanese Imperial advance...China suffered horribly but stayed strong...i wish we stayed tight with them...
And after all their sacrifices, there are still Americans refusing to buy products made in China.
shareThings made in China for export to the West are generally made by American and other Western companies. So, buying most "made in China" products isn't really supporting China; the money flows right back to New York and London and elsewhere. The Chinese get very little out of it. It's neo-colonialism.
shareSo does that make it better for Americans?
shareMonths before Pearl Harbor and the US formal involvement in the war there was something called the AVG, American Volunteer Group. US military pilots where discharged from the military and sent to China to help in the fight against the Japanese. I believe they did not engage in actual combat missions until after the US declared war. The first group was the famous Flying Tigers.
shareYes,but they couldn't do more to help the chinese.
shareOf course I remember, I was there when it started!
shareHuh...you probably started the whole thing you maniac!!!
shareWell, that's for me to know and for you to find out.;)
shareOh you are a real firecracker!!!
I think its safer just to read the book about it and stay away from crazy broads...thats what mom always said...

Even people who acknowledge China was involved tend to downplay it. China suffered more casualties than any country in the war except the USSR. They bogged down the bulk of the Japanese imperialist forces for years. Yet they tend to be treated as a sideshow, the "forgotten front". In the first place I think they were downplayed due to racism, and secondly they were downplayed because a few years later they became a communist country and the anti-communist Western countries didn't want to say anything positive about them for that reason.
