Dreddout posted:Then why'd the soviets turn Manchuria over to the cpc and not the kmt? They gave most of Manchuria to the KMT but starting in late 1945 they started giving cover to the CPC to prevent them from being completely wiped out Frosted Flake posted:Didn’t the KMT start the Chinese Civil War by killing Communists in Shanghai out of the blue? Yes, CKS had an irrational hatred of the Communists to the extent of prioritizing wiping them out over beating back the Japanese invaders, while the most communist-friendly left faction of the Nationalists was under Wang Jingwei, who was the most notorious hanjian, the Chinese Quisling of WWII, the head of the Japanese puppet Nationalist government

Mandoric posted:By the end of the civil war, both tendencies were virulently anticommunist; it was a debate between autarkhy and an international crusade in accomplishing this. And of course the US played both sides, friendly at the very least with ranking officers like Sun Li-jen, the VMI-trained "Rommel of the East" who was the prime target of political controls on the RoC military, but also willing to overlook Ching-kuo's purge of him for alleged participation in a CIA-backed coup plot in 1955 as it was part of an overall crackdown on disloyalty. What do you know of Li Jishen? It sounds like he was more conciliatory towards the CPC, maybe if he had replaced CKS somehow he would've been able to reconcile the two. Also real bummer that Feng Yuxiang died in a mysterious ship fire.

StashAugustine posted:hey good post as usual, just wanted to ask who this guy was Vlado Zečević. In his theology student days, he wrote a lot about socialism and christianity, and pissed off a bunch of teachers by quoting Marx at them. Until the war, he was more of a social democrat in the Agrarian Party and a peasant equivalent of a syndicalist (the zadrugas, basically groups of peasants who worked their own land, landless peasants, and even some of the poorer 'kulak' types voluntarily collectivizing to resist the big land owners and banks), and a grudging participant in the Democratic Party's liberal opposition coalition shortly before the war. As a priest, he was generally loved by his parish and beyond because of his work to disrupt corruption amongst the clergy, and oversaw the construction of several new churches and ossuaries (Serbia lost over half of its adult male population in WW1. There were *a lot* of scattered, unburied bones all over the place). He was frequently harrassed by the police because of his supportive attitude towards the people's doctors (privately practitioning medical professionals, almost all of them secretly members of the communist party, who would fleece rich customers and use that money to provide free medical treatment to those who couldn't otherwise receive any - they were generally kept safe prewar by fears of popular retaliation against anyone who does them harm, and were heavily targeted by all the various fascists when the war started) which garnered a positive attitude towards him among the communists. Seing the betrayal as it happened in real time while under fire was what finally fully pushed him over to fully join the communist party, and he was uniquely effective in disrupting anticommunist propaganda among the Serbian peasantry.

My wife works for a large Chinese company and this morning she showed an email one of her colleagues in the UK got. It was basically: “your offer was much better but we’re recently under strict instructions not to do any business with Russian or Chinese companies unless it’s literally impossible to get the same products/services anywhere else in the world” This is a very large UK company. Westerners are losing their minds as we speak.

ai one is probably best for general chat https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3276654&perpage=40&pagenumber=1&noseen=1 there’s an ask tell thread for actual pilots talking shop and there’s a tfr thread ostensibly about the Cold War but usually more general military aviation and then GiP has threads for services that have aviation.

Which is weird because China Southern is perfectly happy to send a3xx flight data to me for troubleshooting. In my experience, American operators are much more strict with data custody.

I'm talking more about what if Chiang was out of the picture earlier on, like he is accidentally killed in the Xi'an Incident and someone like Li or Wang Jingwei (or more likely, Zhang Xueliang or Yang Hucheng) could've succeeded him, but I guess that could have changed the war entirely and it's impossible to say how the KMT would have emerged afterwards. All four figures I just mentioned had more favorable views of the communists than CKS did, very low bar I know, and both Li and Wang were involved in anti-Chiang uprisings in that time period (it was before the latter turned hanjian). And yeah I guess Feng was a pretty marginal character by the time of WWII.

i have a question about modern japanese cultural history how does the stereotype of salarymen overworking themselves to death get started as far as i can tell everyone says it starts in the sixties but the only contemporary reference to this i can find seems to be in communist comic books of all things and even as late as 1987 the average workweek is only 46 hours which is a lot but not exactly i only get to see my kids for one hour a week levels of extreme i know that death by overwork is a real thing im just trying to figure out how much of it has been consistent over the years to the point you can really call it quintessentially japanese and how much of it is racistly generalizing completely different eras and sections of modern japans economy
