How The Empire Of Japan Created Communist China | The War That Changed The World (2020x101)

Air date: Sep 10, 2020

Japan and Communist China: in this documentary series, we explore the second sino-japanese war, and the rallying effect it had on the solidification of Chinese communism. In 1972, Chairman Mao Zedong was not entirely joking when he asked Tanaka Kakuei, the visiting Japanese Prime Minister, whether he should thank him for the invasion – because it had changed the destiny of China.
