America’s Big Mistake
Hyakuta
It is a horrible country. 
I regret that the world did not support the Kuomintang when China’s civil war broke out.
Shi
The United States made the biggest mistake. 
The KMT was also riddled with corruption, and the U.S. could not tolerate that.
So the U.S. sent a delegation to Yan’an, Mao Zedong’s stronghold.
Then, Mao and other high-ranking Communist Party officials hid all the expensive clothes they usually wore, changed into the tattered garments of ordinary soldiers, and invited the American inspection team.
They brought a dirty old table to the square of a poor village and served a simple meal.
When the American delegation saw this, they said, “How clean and poor they are. The Communist Party is clean and pure and wonderful! They were fooled.
Hyakuta
It is a complete idiot.
Shi
Mao Zedong and others were well aware that the U.S. was disgusted by the corruption of the KMT.
Sure enough, after the American inspection team returned to Japan, they changed their tune, saying, “Who can wear such dirty clothes?
The U.S., however, did not know that they had been deceived and stopped their assistance to Chiang Kai-shek.
In the Korean War, China had its prisoners of war step on landmines and invade.
Hyakuta
In the end, the U.S. suffered a painful defeat in the Korean War (1950-53), which started one year after the founding of China.
In the Korean War, the U.S. suffered much damage, including 33,686 casualties (according to the Department of Defense).
China uses humanitarian tactics, so people keep pouring in over the dead bodies no matter whether they are shot or not. 
The American troops were terrified.　
Even when they laid mines to hold off the Chinese army, the Chinese didn’t care; they just let the people step on the mines, make them explode, and then break through the mines.
As a matter of fact, at this time, they were making the KMT prisoners of war captured in the Nationalist-Communist Civil War step on the mines.
China had Barrier troops, and if the front line POWs or their soldiers escaped, they shot them from behind.
Shi
Mao Zedong and the rest of the Communists said that they could “digest” the KMT POWs.
Hyakuta
The word “digest” is terrible. Chinese POWs are killed daily, and they are killed in brutal ways.
The Japanese POWs captured during the Second Sino-Japanese War were also killed in a way that makes one dare not even speak of it.
Shi 
What is even worse is that during the Civil War, for example, it sent women and children to the front.
It is recorded that the Nationalist troops could not shoot them and abandoned their positions, which were then occupied by the Communist forces.　
Moreover, China is a country that will go to any length to eliminate its opponents.  
They believe that if they don’t kill the other side, they will be killed themselves.
So, from the Chinese point of view, the Battle of Sekigahara, for example, is nothing more than a “war game.
Hyakuta
It must have been hard to believe that the battle was over in only half a day.
Shi　
It was just a game (laughs).  
If it had been in China, it would have been a big sweeping battle to wipe out the whole family of the opponent.  
Even in the Three Kingdoms period, it reduced the total population to one-fifth after 100 years of fighting. 
The ironclad rule of killing off your opponent is utterly incompatible with the Japanese way of thinking.
