'No cite but from memory, 'Vinegar'Joe Stillwell , an US general that
was put in charge of one chinese (Nationalist) Army, so despised
Chang- Ki Check (sp?) that after a while he would not even talk to
him. Chang's wife was a member of a powerfull, very corrupt, Chinese
family with high ties to the US government, The Chinese resistance to
Japan tied up large numbers of the Japanese Army for most of the
war,in spite that resistance being split between the factions.

The numbers cited for the Russian invasion of Manchuria seemed
skewed, I had books on all that years ago,now they are just
'somewhere' in the pile, and I cannot be bothered.

Anyway, anyone who is interested in recent Chinese history
should read up on the 'Opium Wars', during which China was forced to
allow importation of opium from British India.

( The descendents of Stillwell's army are reported to have an sorta
enclave still in an inaccessable part of the Yunnan-Burma area, which 
produces opium, and includes gambling facilities,)

One reason why there is unlikely to be a Chinese-US war is that the
Chinese now own so much of the US and the UK, that they would be
damaging themselves. 

There was a sort of plan, like the way that Europe was divided into
Soviet and Western spheres of influence, for Japan to be divided that
way as well, with the Northern Island, Hokkaido, to be occupied by
the USSR. There is still a lot of aggro about a couple of islands
that the Soviets occupied, and never left.
