Ever since that new chinese ww2 has been making the rounds, I have seen an extreme spike in westerners claiming that the cpc “waited” out the war in caves and then claimed victory, while in earnest the KMT did all the fighting. Or worse that the chinese communists attacked the KMT while they were invaded by the japanese, linking metaphorically it to “tankies/ultras/doomers/wreckers/etc…” refusing to work with socdems inside capitalist political parties.
IIRC wasn’t it the KMT that kept breaking the truce and attacking the Reds?
