* War with Japan (1937–45): massive casualties, corruption, famine (Henan 1942), and hoarding of US aid.

""Chiang Kai-shek and the KMT appear in Haz's discussions of the Chinese revolution's class line and of Stalin's China policy.

From the streams

From the US IRAN INVASION BEGINS stream, on Stalin-Mao tensions:

> "The great conflict with Stalin in terms of antagonizing Mao, and essentially the seeds that led to the collapse of relations, was because he was a student of Realpolitik. He actually did not want to see a unified China... Stalin had close ties to the KMT for two reasons: one, in the 1920s the KMT was a popular front, wasn't inherently anti-communist — all of that changed in 1927 during the Shanghai massacre."

The reading

  • The KMT's trajectory — popular front to massacre — is the case study in how national-revolutionary movements are captured by comprador forces (Dr. Sun Yat-Sen vs. Chiang as the fork).
  • Stalin's realpolitik toward both KMT and CCP is treated critically from a Mao-aligned position: great-power management over revolutionary unity had costs that surfaced in the Sino-Soviet split.
  • On Taiwan today, Haz's line is unambiguous: "the just struggle of China to maintain its territorial integrity and combat Taiwan separatism" is entwined with Palestine and Donbass — "if some activist waves the flag of Palestine but also the Taiwan flag or the Ukraine flag, throw them in a dumpster where they belong. Those are liberals trying to be at peace with their own [empire]" (RED PILL NEWS | IRAN-ISRAEL WAR? stream).
