    It’s genuinely crazy that Chiang Kai-shek/Jiang Jeshi was about 5 minutes from getting deposed only to be saved by the Japanese invading Manchuria.

    Not saying Wang Jingwei would’ve been…good or better [its wang Jingwei]. But it certainly would have been interesting.

    Plus its massively ironic and funny Chiang was saved because he had to “fight” the Japanese.
