As a continuation of a chapter first published on October 31, 2018, this essay examines how the United States pushed Chiang Kai-shek into war with Japan, tying down the bulk of Japan’s divisions on the China front, and how the Stimson Doctrine emerged as the political reward for that arrangement.
It critically traces how Sun Yat-sen’s rhetoric of “Five Races Under One Union” was used to legitimize Chinese claims over Manchuria, Mongolia, Uyghur, and Tibet, and how this international logic drove Japan into a position that culminated in withdrawal from the League of Nations.

Chiang Kai-shek was incited to fight Japan, and as a result Japan was forced to tie down 40 of its 51 divisions in China.
Only 11 divisions fought Britain, America, and the Netherlands in the Pacific.

The chapter I published on 2018-10-31 under the title,
After the Xinhai Revolution, the swindler Sun Yat-sen began to speak of “Five Races Under One Union,” saying, “We will create the Republic of China and take care of the Manchu dynasty,”
had entered the top ten in search numbers this morning.
The following is a continuation of the previous chapter.
And what was the final outcome of all that.
The Chinese, whom they had treated like trash, were exalted and exploited to the utmost in the course of the Pacific War.
Chiang Kai-shek was incited to fight Japan, and as a result Japan was forced to tie down 40 of its 51 divisions in China.
Only 11 divisions fought Britain, America, and the Netherlands in the Pacific.
The reward for that was the “Stimson Doctrine” that appeared in 1932.
Japan’s lifeline was Manchuria.
For centuries China’s territory had been inside the Great Wall, but it was Stimson who said that Manchuria too was Chinese territory.
After the Xinhai Revolution, the swindler Sun Yat-sen began to speak of “Five Races Under One Union,” saying, “We will create the Republic of China and take care of the Manchu dynasty.”
In other words, it was a baseless fairy tale that he wanted to inherit intact the whole territory of the Qing dynasty, Manchuria, Mongolia, Uyghur, and Tibet as well.
No one took him seriously.
Then Stimson appeared and pulled out Sun Yat-sen’s dying words.
International opinion was also anti-Japanese, so it went along with it.
As a result, Manchuria became Chinese territory, and Japan came to be treated as having arbitrarily violated Chinese territory, and therefore as having violated the Kellogg-Briand Pact and the Nine-Power Treaty as well.
Japan was left with no standing at all.
Because of Stimson’s sophistry, Japan was even forced to withdraw from the League of Nations.
It ended up taking the form of America guaranteeing that China had sovereignty over Manchuria, Mongolia, Uyghur, and Tibet.
Kawazoe.
However, since the People’s Republic of China did not yet exist at that time, this meant the Republic of China government of Chiang Kai-shek.
Takayama.
Yes.
In any case, thanks to Stimson, China came to say that everything outside the Great Wall as well, the lands of the barbarians, was also mine.
Postwar America, partly in order to restrain Japan’s revival, continued to recognize China’s possession of those territories.
As China grew larger, it also began extracting a large recognition fee.
But now China has grown arrogant and says, “The reason we possess Manchuria, Mongolia, Uyghur, and Tibet is not because of America. They have been ours from the beginning,” and Trump was the first to reply in effect, “Do not say such absurd things.”
That first declaration of invalidity was the assertion that “Taiwan does not belong to China.”
