People Forget China’s conflict with Japan Cost at Least Ten Million Lives

France also did not defeat anyone and did not lost millions of lifes. But France got occupation zone in Germany, like a winner. China, unlike France and all the Europe did not not surrender and was fighting till the end. So, I believe Japan should give some lands to China, at least some islands.

No it shouldn't , Chinese got all the lands occupied by Japan like Manchuria

It was Chinese lands already, when you get your own thing it is not a compensation. Japan should compensate 10 mln lives to China, like Germany did to Russia.

I don't know what to say to you.
Seems like you are Chinese.
Either way, what's done is done.
China is now the world largest country and the second largest economy.

China should look to the future instead of the past.

Seems you think only Chinese have the sense of justice. I do not say that China have to attack Japan and grab some lands. I say it is unfair that Japan did not compensate China its huge losses in the past after the war.

even their culture and national identity was changed. from a nationalistic/militaristic one to a beta colonial one subservient to the US.

Yeah they got cucked hard. The West wants to do the same thing with Iran.

One needs to look into both. Without the past, there is no future.

So - how it is connected with Japan crimes against China? What China get fron those nukes?

a faster surrender

Without American or Soviet intervention China would be in a mess under Japanese occupation

It'll take longer but we'll beat them, that's why Chiang Kai-shek never seriously consider Japan as a threat, the real rival was always communists in his mind, Japan just wanted a peace treaty with Chiang, requested many times, but he refused every single time, he knew Japan would lose in the end.

Well, faster surrender is not a compensation for millions of lifes. Even Russia got South Sakhalin and Kurils Islands from Japan despite of Japan did nothing to USSR during WW2 and we have joined the war on the East at the very end.

Thanks for the entertaining POV.

why does a war have to end in territorial losses and compensation ?
Germany and Japan are our most powerful allies. We did not take an inch of territory. Maybe there is another way of making friends.

As far as China goes she is lucky to have survived Japanese occupation. the ability of china to drive out Japan without foreign help is zero

everyone does not have to lose 20 million lives to throw out an invader. there are other ways of running things

You have no response to Japanese bombers

You got occupation zones in Germany and in Japan and still have military bases there. Those countries are more or less under your control. Your losses from both Germany and Japan are incomparable with Chinese ones. Russian losses from Japan are even lesser than yours but we got some compensation. China is considered one of winners in WW2 - but I can not understand why they did not got some lands from Japan, at least some most remote islands.

We got bases around the world but that doesn't mean we own those countries. Just few years ago we pulled out of Saudi Arabia. Does that mean we never own them?

I did a paper on this and in my opinion Japan should still be kissing China's feet, for what they did.

Japan basically got saved by the Cold War and the Anti Communist alliance the US helped pushed for at that time so a lot the war crimes went unpunished cause of post WW2 geo-political realities

Had the US not help rebuild Japan it would be under the Soviet boot, or under the Japanese Communist Party
